A very simple shmup with 6 stages. The boss of the stage 4 is the hardest part by far for some reason. There is very little to say about this game... maybe the most interesting thing about it is that Gunpei Yokoi produced it.
sort of boring and and irritating at the same time, but compared to other GB shooters, its visual design is crystal clear (especially on the GBCs color scheme) and the movement is snappy. it became my "does my modded Gameboy randomly turn off?" game until I fixed the problem
A simple, but serviceable vertical shooter.
This is GameBoy, to me. Simplicity. A pleasant nostalgia trip. Looks rad in colour mode too.
pretty neat shmup :>
especially on a game boy color it looks pretty

A first-party Nintendo shmup for the Game Boy basically exists just to show that you can do this kind of game for the platform.
Solar Striker is exceedingly simple. It's a vertical shmup with one power up that gives you double, then triple, then double (but stronger?) shot.
Levels often repeat obstacles, and it's fairly easy, but it does have quite a few mini-bosses and bosses, which surprised me.
An interesting page in Game Boy history, worth playing nowadays only if you want something almost Galaga-simple.
