Hello System11 and thank you to the community for your enthusiasm and knowledge. I've recently put together a big persuasive post for another registration-only games forum in an attempt to draw new players into shmups. Particularly aimed at gamers that have not played them for many years, or ever, it's designed to make the decision to try something new as low effort as possible. It is the result of many hours spent googling, digging through old posts, and faffing about to save similarly new players time. The post includes useful links as well as several recommendations. Please feel free to share, copy, and modify for use elsewhere to whatever degree you'd like, since it is unlikely that any offsite users would see this otherwise.

Looks like a great writing, congrats.
Just dropping in to precise that your description of Pawarumi is inaccurate :
Actually ennemies bullets have no color. Only ennemies and your shot have color, and you get different effects when mathcing them with the rock-paper-scissors thing.

In Pawarumi, you cannot eat bullets as in Ikaruga.Pawarumi
A descendant of Ikaruga featuring a rock-paper-scissors system that allows the player to eat bullets. Notable for its unusual Mayan theming.

Bravo jolie Ln, tu as trouvé : l'armée de l'air c'est là où on peut te tenir par la main.

Oh hey, I thought I recognized the thread title from SA. Then I also recognized the username.
My 1CCs so I can find the list easier myself
<Despatche> you've been a thorn in the shmups community since the beginning, you're largely responsible for the horrible face of modern speedrunning

Hey there! I've run into a couple of goons in trying to spread this doc around - small world. Hopefully it'll make its way out into the internet at large and bring in some new blood.KennyMan666 wrote:Oh hey, I thought I recognized the thread title from SA. Then I also recognized the username.
