First for the loli shmups

leaned up the OP a bit (most of the Steam links were able to be shortened from what they were), updated and reorganized the list of recent releases. Now they're in order from most recent at the top and oldest at the bottom, to make it easier to know which one to knock off when it comes time to add a new game to it. Touhou 16 is at the top of the list on technicality that it just came out on Steam a couple of weeks ago, despite releasing for the first time only a few months ago.

Bahmpu~

memed

Creditfeed to the end of the second loop for the good part.

Good job!

think im gonna get back into ibara.

is this game any good?

It's Raiden clone. If you like Raiden you might get some enjoyment out of it.

i do, how clone are we talking? slow ship rocket bullets?

>slow ship rocket bullets?
Pretty much, yes.

Yes, if you enjoy epileptic seizures, horrific stage design, bosses that are literally digitized photographs moving on the screen, and 6 shot types most of which are terrible. Oh, and the power-ups seem completely random, which includes bomb pick-ups.

christ certainly sounds like traps idea of "good".

Why do you guys play shmups? What's the enjoyment out of trial-and-error in order to perfect a 1cc, or in other cases, emulating a top score replay?

monkeys like to watch and copy other monkeys
it's in their DNA

>What's the enjoyment out of trial-and-error in order to perfect a 1cc
>what's fun about achieving things

Silly question desu.

>Why do you guys play shmups?
Because they have the best artstyle, music and gameplay.

>trial-and-error in order to perfect a 1cc
Anything which is difficult becomes trial-and-error at some points. These games are difficult, yes, but also very rewarding because of this. It feels exciting to become better at them.

i did not die here, cool
pro tip for easy clear: use Hanse and do not pick up power ups
second loop seems impossible imo

>What's the enjoyment out of trial-and-error in order to perfect a 1cc
>what's fun about surmounting a challenge?

I do it for her!

Marion is still cute kind of

playing shmups since i was 4 years old

>kind of

>I do it for her!

>animefags already ruined thread

/shmupg/ told me to do so.

>frogposter
yeah... you're no better

Well she's cute, but it's not like she can compete with Casper! Still, I do really like witches.

Why are there Chance and Community Chest cards, but no spaces to use them?

27th for 500 mil. Could have gotten 550 with another extra life but the boss decided not to die and pulled off a totally unexpected pattern with 2 pixels of health left

Bump

But what about /shmupg/?

matic streaming trap shit

Bump

Bug princess best princess

Bump

She seems nice.

sage for dead general

Bahmpu~

Learning things and getting good is inherently enjoyable. Shmups have a lot of things going for them from the presentation to the concept itself (completely free movement with nothing limiting you, perfect controls), scoring systems that activate your almonds. Also most of the things that go along with being an arcade game which is short length, over the top presentation, intensity, etc.

Feels pretty quick tonight.

Reminder that Darius is for pleb cunts who can't get more than a 1-ALL in any Gradius.

they're both for pleb cunts too low IQ to play cave

Bump

>implying danmaku isn't the degeneration of traditional shumps which is why it appeals to zero-skill brainlets

>zero skill brainlets
>all the most impressive players are danmakufags
lmao give it up dad

Playing for 52 hours straight to clear loop 63 is the apex of skill, danmacuck.

Back to attending your children, leave Veeky Forums

Bahmpu~

where the streams at

deathsmells on matmousetwitch

Bhamps

>Follett again
Oh well. Still impressive to watch.

implying those danmakufags could make it beyond the 2nd loop in sum grad4

fuck outta here with your sorry excuses for shumps m8

>gradius 4
>1 loop rated 23 on jap wiki
lmfao. danmaku pros wouldn't be challenged until loop 4 at the earliest

Dodge this!

Last bahmpu before early bed~

Keep flying, /shmupg/

there is about five days to the end of first stgt week, but people already post their shitty results without having 1cc

Godo heavens! Just look at the time!

did you got your goals?

you know the 2nd loop is impossible

yeah I guess, got 3 of 4

>danmaku pros wouldn't be challenged until loop 4 at the earliest
behave you dumb fuck, not even tviks cleared loop 3.

>taking the jap wiki list seriously
lmfao

BUMP

They probably don't want to touch that garbage again.

how dare you imply trap15 has shit taste.

still better than cave

better than your cave you little fuccboi wank rag.

>cavebaby triggered

???

yeah most of them

will kraut 30 mill before new year?

pretty sure i will kill myself before new year

Bahmpu~

Bahmpu again~

cream streaming puyo puyo.

>pretty sure i will kill myself before new year

Depends on if I'm actually going back to playing again. I'm honestly pretty tired of this badly balanced game. It's fun playing it for score, but it obviously has its flaws.

Currently I am actually more interested in game devving again. But I am totally not sure where to go with this. I tried to create laser lock-on for background enemies, like in Rayforce, but I have no idea how to do this since I am working in perspective. Seems like all I have left is making a lock-on like in CCWI, but I don't really find motivation to work on something so unoriginal. I will probably just do it anyway, because why not, but it's really annoying... everything has already been done in this genre, except you are genius perhaps, it's really hard to create new mechanics.

Bahmpu~

mein führer bitte strm

perikl already got a wwr in trap game

Any good shmups on PSP? I need something to play on this thing, bonus points if it has cute girls in it.

R-Type Tactics

I can't stream. My net is not good enough for this it seems. I get lag in game.

Darius Burst
Gradius Collection

I waited almost two hours just for the opportunity to yell "Witch is cute!" into the chat. I think it's been a productive day for me.

Bump

really, you don't know tviks? sad.

>My net is not good enough for this it seems. I get lag in game.
lower the bitrate a bit.

try blue.

based goober harry

>lower the bitrate a bit.
I already tried this, but it doesn' help. I guess streaming on a laptop is just not a good idea.

>try blue.
It's not really the game I am tired of, I just don't feel like playing anything atm.

Change the encoding preset performance to ultrafast so it strains your CPU less?

Never tried this. Will give it a try some time.

>I just don't feel like playing anything atm.
learn a bmup

Fuck off with your shitty genre. In contrary to you I actually like shmups, and don't just play them for "le hipster credibility".

what is this volatility? the fuck is your problem? and you wonder why no one likes you.

Reco says no more quarreling!

I want to FUCK Reco

I assumed you were Cee, so it's ok to be rude.

you assumed correct, still no excuse to be a vile feral tosser, at least i know how miserable you are and rightly so you disgusting cunt.

She'll let you, but only if you stop cursing.

Is she really that loose? I mean, she is a princess and all...

I want to FUCK Palm

calm down Reco...
