So, I had been dreading something like this coming my way in #SHMUPtember
Aero Fighters for the #SNES is a port of an arcade game that is, for lack of a better word, intense. Before i could be led into a false sense of security with this one, the first stage blind-sided me with some cheap shots and intense bullet patterns.
Not quite bullet hell, but weaving through spread shots is not for the faint of heart.
The game is solid, and I was grateful for having bombs that can provide temporary reprieve and some invulnerability time. A luxury i was missing from the older Aleste games
The game has 8 playable characters, and two secret characters, all who have unique weaponry and differences in movement speed
When the game is not breaking your legs, forcing you to pump continues into it, the entire game is about 20 minutes long. So it doesn't take long to get into the groove and learn some patterns and strategies.
And when you do beat it, it feels like quite the accomplishment

Because of course the Japanese pilot in #AeroFighters shoots Kunai out of his ship.
He is fashioned after a Ninja, but... I dunno, all the other base weapons come across a bit plain and generic against the guy who shoots knives out of his fighter.

Hey, all! Do you think the Sega CD was nothing but FMV games? Let me dissuade with a look at 76 (really 78) of its most interesting non FMV titles along with a big look at games from Japan that we never got!

This stage is inspired by the "elevator boss" from Sonic the Hedgehog. 🦔

Eigengrau is also inspired by other shmups like R-Type II.
Its rushing ships always looked like big-mouthed fish to me 🐟, but they are actually designed after crustaceans. 🦀

This gimmick was inspired by D/Generation, though it works a bit different in Eigengrau. 🟩
I once watched @tobemayr play the game and wanted to see how this would feel in a shoot 'em up. 🙈

Made another new weapon for the next update. With it you can shoot into multiple directions at the same time. ⚔️
It's a bit weaker per side, but allows for massive damage in risky situations. 😤

The volcano area Gelu (cold ❄️) and snow area Calor (heat 🔥) have their names swapped.
Originally they were alternate routes, and when I made them sequential I accidentally mixed up their names. 🥴
