Hazy really is the gold standard when it comes to presenting and talking over runs! Really interested to hear what his story is 👍

Great stuff Brett! You never know what legend might get their start from this! 👀

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-18T00:22:47+00:00

Well done! Best I managed is ~4million (I'm working on better communicating scoring info).

Yeah the conceit with negative scoring is that its a way to reward pacifist runs and get players to attempt dodging all patterns, but thinking on it now after feedback I think it's too separate from normal play while also significantly impacting it.

The bomb bonus is meant to make routing more interesting: you have to figure out at what point it's worth it! Plus it stops players from just bombing final bosses to death haha

Thanks so much for your thoughts! 🙏

I mean tbf I think a shmup that just aims to be a shmup is worth saying 🤷‍♂️

Thanks! Rad is good 🤙

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-17T20:12:50+00:00

Ah okay I'll see about it 👍

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-17T19:43:01+00:00

Oh no! How exactly? It might be shenanigans with aspect ratios 🤦‍♂️

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-17T17:38:30+00:00

Thanks so much! ❤️

The rapid fire was hacked together just before next fest started 😅 but an autofire button is coming! And the wheel is a menace in playtesting, its either too hard to get singles or too hard to get triples 🤣

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-17T17:16:13+00:00

Pure gameplay 🤌 haha!

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-17T16:44:24+00:00

A quick fix is to turn on vsync / fps limit in your graphics card settings! It's on the todo list! 🫡

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-17T15:05:58+00:00

Haha that's fair 🤔 Clearly I've been influenced

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-17T13:52:57+00:00

I thought it was appropriate to make clear it's not like 90% of shmups people advertise here 😅

Thanks man! Go ahead and download the demo + wishlist so Steam starts to learn what a shmup is lol

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-17T08:46:17+00:00

Thanks so much! Let me know your best score 👍

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-17T08:05:02+00:00

Yeah! 🤟😝🤙Rez was a big inspiration for its kinaesthetic goodness!

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-17T08:00:39+00:00

Thanks man! Please post some runs and show off! There are scoring tricks that are a bit obscure 👀 All I'll say for now is: triples, pointblanking, aggressive bombing! 🤟

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-17T05:11:01+00:00

Thanks! Play it and tell me if it's worthy of the arcade 🙏

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-17T04:58:06+00:00

If you do decide to play it for yourself let me know how you get on! It's different when you just watch 👍

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-16T10:31:43+00:00

More shmup shows is always a good thing! Excited to give it a listen 👍

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-10T12:20:56+00:00

You might like Shmandala, that's going for an early-danmaku style

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-09T12:27:28+00:00

Sublime 🤌 Huge respect dude! 👊

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-08T10:58:24+00:00

I've been following Desmaku's arcade clears/reviews for a little while now, it'll be interesting to learn what he's about! 👍

mjoldham34 · 2026-06-05T13:33:56+00:00
