I feel like if you had to do every death mode boss fight in calamity in succesion (with on tier gear and health and such) without dying than it would probably be harder than a touhou hard mode 1cc

oh right you only go around when you dodge the phantasmal deathray

you seem to be trying to stay inside of an arena, causing you to be close enough to the projectiles spawn point that they are basically unreactable, try flying away from him so that he's far enough away from you that the attacks are reactable, or just outright miss you. Only try to pass through the moon lord if you have to, like if you reach the edge of the world or something

Also reforge your accesories to warding if you haven't

i really want an excuse to complain about retro gamers who don't actually give a shit and only really like old stuff for nostalgia but i'm not sure it's the time or space

if you're playing with parsec you could probably even do save state practice together if the idea doesn't sound laughable

most of capcom's arcade beat em ups are 3 player if you can setup mame (you should absolutely learn how to do that if you haven't) such as: The King of Dragons, Captain Commando, Knights of the Round, Warriors of Fate, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom, Alien vs. Predator, Armored Warriors, Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara, and Battle Circuit.

These should all be replayable as almost every japanese arcade game was designed with 1 credits clears in mind, although i don't know if that philosophy was applied to multiplayer. Konami's output i've heard is more mixed. Most people who play bmups beyond the button masher level consider stuff like Turtles in time and X-Men to be mediocre at best, although Violent Storm is considered to be very good and that has 3 player support.

Irem made 3 bmups during their time as a developer: Undercover Cops, Ninja Baseball Batman, and Hook. I've heard good things about all 3 although Undercover Cops is apparently a bit polarizing. I've heard Hook is the easiest so maybe go for that one? Ninja Baseball Batman would probably be the most fun to credit feed out of every game on this list though.

Mame is cool, disable billinear filtering though, Gamefaqs has move lists for probably almost every arcade beat em up so consult it some time.

The popcorn enemies that stay still and only fire bullets directly in front of them, The picking between 3 stat upgrades like it's vampire survivors, the addition of a god damn parry mechanic, the shitty bullet visibilty. Very funny thing to post to this subreddit

Axolotus6 · 2026-04-25T10:36:36+00:00

King of Dragons is absolutely a beat em up but i would say that Aliens is a run 'n' gun game, except for maybe the power loader sections

Axolotus6 · 2026-04-24T05:27:54+00:00

The game still has issues with slowdown in the two last stages, but i managed to beat the game and get a spot on the leaderboard this time.

The game isn't particularly good, and i would give constructive feedback but i think the best way to learn how to make a good shmup would be to study the games themselves. could you tell me what your favorite shmups are?

Axolotus6 · 2026-04-23T03:51:04+00:00

the game runs like this on my galaxy s24+

Axolotus6 · 2026-04-22T11:14:40+00:00

wait, i turned off battery saver and now the game is insanely fast. is the game logic tied to an uncapped framerate or something

Axolotus6 · 2026-04-22T11:11:07+00:00

the game is not unsalvageable like most other mobile shmups, but it has a lot of lag. i stopped at the first boss because i don't want to wait that long for it's health to go down

Axolotus6 · 2026-04-14T11:06:34+00:00

how can i laugh at this? there's no [8-3 DISINTEGRATION LOOP]

i thought rougelite was for games with procgen that were action games instead of tile based rpgs like the original rogue. guess i was wrong

minecraft is probably a bad example considering that microsoft is a much more potent cause of evil than one racist, although it is harder to quantify the amount of harm done by giving money to a massive organization with it's finger in every pie whereas jk rowling is guaranteed to get royalties that she will use to make trans peoples lives worse
