Such an incredibly fun game, both while being a great package of content and a really good entrypoint to STG. While I probably would have enjoyed it still, I don't think I really would have understood how good it is without having played the GG Aleste games recently beforehand. (absolutely not required though.)

The mechanics are super straightforward, but feel incredibly rewarding once you really master them and also feel like genuine "training" and applicable skills to bring forward playing other shooters. Novice mode w/Auto Shield is a breezy 40 min playthrough, so maybe give more of the game a shot afterwards as well.

If you're struggling with the game, I highly recommend playing through the first couple of missions in Mission Mode. May seem counter intuitive, but it will explain how the game works incredibly fast and extraordinarily well.

Shoutout to the extra level kind of going off the charts.

Love GC for its kinda cool mechanics. I feel that sometimes it can be exploited and I kinda need the depth and longevity in a shmup. But again cute and definitely wirth checking out perhaps GC GM.

Picked this up on a whim since I liked Supercharged Robot VULKAISER by the same devs and the premise seemed cool (I swear, I didn't know the main characters were crossdressing twinks until after I got it, honest!).

While I didn't take to it quite as much as I hoped, I'm willing to admit it's less the fault of the game and more me not being experienced with the genre. It's a solid game overall, just not one for a beginner like me. To my knowledge, the remake is better in that regard.

Very cute little shmup with a charming pixel art style.

Just your average top down bullet hell.
