Revolver 360 Re:actor
Do yourself a favor: click the image above and download the free demo of this game. It's awesome.
This is a shmup with some unique mechanics, most notably the ability to rotate the camera angle, as if your ship is doing a barrel roll. It also has a different way of using guided missiles that requires you to hover your ship near the desired targets in the background of the environment. It's kind of hard to explain, so
here's a gameplay video. The unusual gameplay took me a few game overs to figure out, but once I got in the swing of it, I found it to be a really enjoyable and unique shmup. I hope you guys enjoy it too.
Another more technical note, I also had a little difficulty getting started because I couldn't figure out how to get it to recognize my XBox 360 controller. To do this, open the Config file, click the button that says "xinput", and then click the save button on the bottom left of the window. Restart the game, and push a button on the controller to start the game. Make sure to customize your buttons in the option menu to something that makes sense to you. I recommend assigning rotation to LT and RT. The config file also has a box that is in japanese, but clearly about graphics since you can see a resolution pull down menu. If you check the box in there, you can play in full screen rather than windowed mode.
