"Winkysoft" developed this one. I would think twice about buying something by a company named Winkysoft, but actually this is pretty solid. Some people say this is in the highest echelon of SNES shmups, but I'm not sure I've played enough to agree yet. As is, while this is very nice, I would definitely play Super Aleste or R-Type III instead if I was given the choice.
Speaking of R-Type, you know how the SNES port of R-Type II lacks any checkpoints for some reason? Same applies here. It's actually taken a step further, since you only have one life and rely on continues to keep going, effectively erasing your score upon every single death. Seems like it would be a major setback without savestates, so I would suggest them on this game even if you're not really one to use them typically.
