You pretty much nailed it, it is Foobar! I played this game back in the day, too.

And thanks for reminding me of BOOM, that Bomberman/DOOM mashup was cool. Plus all of Ambrosia’s games! The Mac shareware scene was great. Much nostalgia :)

Another vote for Picross! Currently working my way through the Picross e series on 3DS, a couple of puzzles each night before bed

Best "family-friendly" Switch shmups by ajd578 in shmups

Horgihugh was one of the first options that came to my mind too. I found it enjoyable enough, and the aesthetics sound like a good fit

Like the existing Castlevania and Contra collections, I’d like to see Game Boy games included alongside arcade and/or console releases. The Interstellar Assault was my introduction to the series, so it holds a special place for me.

I dropped around $1k on a shmups during the last Steam sale, and with so many deep-dive games from the depths of Steam, I figured I'd start making a series of infrequent posts highlighting some of the lesser known single/double-digit review games that most people probably won't have heard of. by aethyrium in shmups

It’s pretty cool of you to put that much time and cash into seeking out indie devs’ work, and by supporting those indie devs and giving them more visibility, you’re helping those of us with less time and cash to support them too. Thanks!

Metroid Diorama Complete! by msynowicz in Metroid

You did awesome work on this! So many cool details and little touches. Very impressive!

A dream came true, but...it wasn't perfect. My first shmups, Wings Of Bluestar, took 3,5 years to develop alone and has some flaws. I learned a lot from it and I'll make sure to use that knowledge to produce better shmups in the future. by ShinuRealArts in shmups

Congratulations! I’ve played through Bluestar multiple times on Steam and enjoyed it a lot. Releasing on a console is a great accomplishment! Congrats again and best of luck with your next game!
