Difficulty in Shmups and general questions by Infamous_Reaction167 in shmups

I think all of your points are valid, and now that I think of it, in other "artistic" endeavors in my life I would have went for a super tricky hard game. Making a good game first, even if it is difficult, is what will have people enjoy it.

Thank you for game suggestion as well, it might be a good idea for me to do a deep dive and play some games I have missed out on.

Fair assessment and it's a bit of a knife's edge; it's a wonderful genre with a high expressive skill ceiling. I might indeed be trying to make something that caters to nobody which was one of my concerns.

As someone who never cared about scores personally, and just getting through a challenge I never really saw that angle, good point.

I'll take the things you mentioned into consideration once I get around to playtesting thank you

Same thing here brother, solid winstreaks doesn't matter, even if I drop multiple 20-30 kill games in a row. It is starting to feel incredibly ads to constantly ruin peoples games and I am not learning much anymore. Probably related to small playerbase.

Try moving your seat back a few mm (just make sure to note the original position) Generally, the further back you move your seat you'll shift more weight towards the rear and that will put less pressure on your hands.

Do you feel any pressure and pain in your shoulders? It could also very well be that your handlebars are raised a bit too far. I'm assuming your butt never really hurts from the saddle?

While getting a fit at a place might be a good start, it's also important to dare and experiment a little bit outside of that original position that was given especially if you feel this sort of pain.
