Doujin Discordancy!! - Newest edition of Shmup_Lyf is out now! Grab it on MagCloud or Itch (Links below). Hope you enjoy this newest exploration of the doujin space, looking at their very human discordant qualities.

Thanks so much Giannis! Had a chance to play a little bit of the new demo today and it’s awesome - the narrative, the visual styles, the gameplay, the music - you got me hooked on all levels. Can’t wait till I have the time to play a bit more 😄

Zaleste X Subway Chips The shmupmedia-verse is abuzz with the fact that Compile are working together with M2 to bring us Zaleste (so that's a fusion of Zanac and Aleste properties). We've been treated to some nice art and a...

Zaleste X Subway Chips

The fusion of shump brands brings a flavour to mind that tastes of Japanese business meetings and different mentalities in the use of media properties.

Shmupcoming: Cycle Chaser H-5 (on Switch) Cycle Chaser by D. Piskorowski (@PD_CGT)is a game that really feels like it hasn't got the attention it deserves. I love it's stylish funk-chunky visuals and wonderful array of enemy designs with thei...

Cycle Chaser H-5 has been flying under the radar! This stylish game deserves more attention as it launches onto Switch.

@scowsh.bsky.social - I wrote a thing about your thing. I hope you like it :)

Scowsh and Game-To-Play Methodology I had the chance to read through Scowsh's (@ScowshMolosh) 2024 Year in Shmups covering their numerous 1CCs, and I really appreciated it; both on its own merits as a piece of genre documentation, and b...

Scowsh and Game-To-Play Methodology:
Focusing on the journeys of the players who play shmups (rather than just the games) and how you can create a more meaningful narrative for your shmup path.

Sai Dai Err What?… DoDonPachi Sai Dai Ou Jou is out on Switch and it’s great, but I seem to get bugs regardless of where I play it (and I’m not just talking about bees).Playing through level 5 of the 360 Arrange one of the enemies was refercing the wrong part of the sprite sheet so ended up being attacked by a fluxing Missingno cloud. But to be honest I really appreciate these unique moments - when the curtain drops and you see how it all comes together there is a real appreciation

Bugs and exposing the beauty behind the curtain.

Viper: Phase 1 - Archive Accessed Viper: Phase 1 is a great credit feeder. Sure, you might want to learn it and score it, but it’s also just an amazing voyage set in a world of hard-science space design, with booster rockets and NASA-like paneled metal (also makes me think of hardSF anime like Planetes and Magnetic Rose. In a genre with a lot of ‘flanges for fun over function’ this aesthetic stands out. There is also some great foreshadowing and in general spatial storytelling. Just jam in a stack of coins and see how many great

Viper Phase 1 is a great credit feeder to journey through a detailed hard SF world.
