I love shoot'em'ups, playing them since 1988 (Armalyte, Io), played a few hundred since them.

And yours felt fresh!!!

I like that moving back allows to scroll back. Controls are tight and good. I got into the flow! I like the map with the changing difficulty the more tiles I move. Very mice aesthetics! The whole package felt fresh, its not one single thing, just the package.

Nice!

Thanks! There were loads of shmups on the Megadrive that I loved growing up. I'm glad you think it's a fresh idea, it feels like there's a lot of unexplored territory in the genre :) I'm glad the strategy map made sense, I was worried it would just end up a big baffling grid of numbers.

yes, Megadrive Shoot’em’ups were (still are) great! Thunder Force III being my favorite (played it on Maniac difficulty)

Haha legend. There's a couple of semi-hidden Thunderforce references in the game. The spritesheet has a not-yet-implemented ship called Rynex, and the boss music is *very* similar to the intro music to Thunderforce 4. :D
