This is the single greatest bullet hell game ever made in the entire history of video games. I've never played something so exciting, addicting, and timeless in my life. Nothing is more satisfying than spraying your lighting cannon and a pair of flamethrowers all over the place and see ships 10 times your size blow up into pieces.

Tyrian 2000, a classic DOS game but I wish it's got a mobile port though.

That's from one of the early levels. Everything after Episode 3 onward is crazy as fuck, enemies and projectiles flying all over the place with virtually no pattern and you'll barely see any shit.

>The Virgin Arcade Shmupper
-autistic and obsessive
-one hit and you're dead
-lucky to get five different weapon types
-designed to eat quarters
-linear from start to end
-if 'Congratulations' is spelled in proper English it's an above-average ending sequence
-primarily praised for its soundtrack
-has to constantly defend himself against accusations of cheating or be ostracized
>The Chad Tyrian Shmupper
-plays for fun
-big fat HP, shield, AND armor bars
-virtually unlimited combinations of weapon upgrades
-free as in beer AND freedom
-ironically, also has a secret beer minigame as well as non-linear gameplay elements
-pages and pages of in-game lore, deep compelling storyline with dozens of characters
-Alexander Brandon soundtrack isn't even the most notable thing
-so easy that no one doubts him when he claims to have beaten it

I actually liked the two-player mode. back then one of us had to use keyboard because we didn't have two mouse ports but it actually made sense given the shapes of the ships.
>player 1 with powerful front weapons with slick ship
>player 2 is stuck with rear weapons with stupid wide-ass monstrosity
>you can combine but you actually lose some firepower
>stages that split forces you to take one each or you'd have to run in combined
fun

DOS era indie games are less popular than console games in 2020, colour me surprised. You should tell them about it.

I remember doing that too with my brother. We were kids though.

It's still a fucking blast though. His new wave synth score is certainly far more elegant for a shmup/space flight game than any of those autistic j-rock/eurobeat japanese shmup OST.
