The shmups community has been scammed;It’s been over 5 years and they have yet to release Crimzon Clover for the Nintendo switch. Please don’t ever patronize from them! EVER!

Please note: they have included “decision withdrawal “ prompt for this game. See pics 3 & 3. Has anyone gone through this process?

This picture was taken when my EXA was running fine, sadly for the second time in its life it has to go back to EXA to have some work. Service is always excellent and hopefully after this return it will be good for years to come. I also have a special edition red Akai Katana EXA unit as well, I’m waiting on the color matched upgrade to become available for that. Still glad I got into the system and appreciate the high quality games.

So i send a friend to the cave shop.
So happy !
Need to get frame for poster and picture.
They should open a ebay shop or something for int to buy !!

This took a while to get here. I wonder what else NGDEV will release? I used to own this on the Dreamcast years ago. I can't recall what other titles they did back then though...

We're back baby!!!

Welcome to the Second Season!

I wanna thank everyone that tuned in last season from the bottom of my heart...

Hope you guys enjoy! :-)

Hello! I published my shmup almost two years ago, and for a couple of reasons I've decided to make it free.

Have a look and try it out if you wish!

The game is available exclusively on Steam.

Steam page:

Youtube trailer

Just to be clear: there are no ads and no in-app purchases. Free means free.

I genuinely want people to play the game, enjoy it, and hopefully let me know what they think about it.

I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!

Hi, I’m still very new to the genre. I own Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun because I saw they’re two of the most famous shmups. Every time I try them, they feel so different than the other shmups I’ve played. RS seems a bit more familiar to the bullet hells I’ve played but I’m not used to balancing so many weapons.

Gonna try to get better at both of them.

Also might check Gradius 5 when I get a chance.

Which is your favorite?

After a long time making it, Blast Horizon is finally out on Steam.

No roguelite progression or meta systems - just stages, patterns, bosses, time slowdown and good old arcade gameplay.

There's also a Practice Mode for drilling individual sections.

25% off until September 14.

Very happy to have achieved my 1CC in Novice Original and Novice Boost. From what I gather, Arrange should be my next goal before attempting Arcade, right?

THEME 🏆 SHMUPS 🎖️🕹️

let's goooooo

Beat scramble after 4 or so hours. But this one super cobra is much harder.

I have made it to lvl 6 so far.

Only 1 cred and no save states.

Fun though :)

Sloppiest sickgrab i've ever done right after fixing the directdraw crashes caused by intel's mediocre iGPU drivers that for some reason kept throwing divided by zero crash codes when trying to play this shmup that i played way too much on ancient netbook cause it's this good, and it runs on everything. MIDI music, small hitboxes and fun gameplay, all in single free package? Hell yeah.

I'm Rob Rightmyer, the developer of Threadbreaker. I wanted procedural bullet-hell runs without making the player decode arbitrary noise, so encounters are assembled from authored pattern phrases with fixed warning time, recovery beats, and a preserved escape route. Gold geometry tells you what is coming; grazing charges Thread; Sever lets you cut a lane when the pattern closes.

Here is 15 seconds of actual play: https://youtube.com/shorts/H_WSqqr7AcQ

The iPhone/iPad release is here: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6797567763

I'd value blunt feedback from experienced shmup players: do the gold telegraphs read honestly, and does Sever feel like skillful route-making rather than a panic button?

Developer disclosure: this is my own game. Its artwork and music include locally generated AI-assisted production assets, and the narration is my synthesized voice; the runtime encounters are deterministic authored choreography, not generated by an online model.

( thank you to metalfacedoom007)I was pleasantly surprised on this one and it's on sale on the switch i would say, it's like a solid B so a few things I didn't like like boss is having way too much health but overall, it's a great game just posting this to get more people to try the game

and tbh, love how short it is. really packs a punch.

Randomly came across this, which was shown in a TechDweeb video on YouTube (timestamp 0:50) for a few seconds.

I've spent the last few years making this game that I finally released this week. Several people from this subreddit helped me with beta testing too, which I'm extremely thankful for.

The gameplay takes inspiration from a broad array of sources like Espgaluda, Devil Daggers, Cuphead and Devil May Cry (with the setting being heavily inspired by old Gainax anime), and has primarily been designed around the feeling of "an STG that I've always wanted to play".

The core idea is a linear difficulty curve across difficulty modes, meaning the first stage on the second difficulty is a direct step up from the final stage on the first difficulty, instead of the usual structure of difficulty receding a little every time you start a higher difficulty mode. The second main idea is bullet time triggering contextually, done by grazing marked projectiles to guide the player through difficult bullet patterns. It's something I find pretty damn fun myself, and people who have played it report the same experience.

This is a game I've really poured my heart and soul into over several years, and I hope some of that shines through and makes at least half as fun of a game as I'd envisioned.
Oh, and the game is also full of weird extras and unlockables for the sole reason that I love that kind of stuff.

The game is available on Steam right now, with a modest release discount.

For a better look, I've got a trailer on YouTube, too.
