Hitoga Happa and Royal Edoma Engine have been getting a lot of playtime lately. I like the pseudo cel-shaded aesthetic. 8)

My favorite game of theirs by a lot is Zangyura (the 2d puzzle/platform game with a timer). I don't really like any of the others.

Hitogata Happa - the character balance is unbelievably bad, buying extra lives is broken, the suicide aspect is neat but pretty wack since you just buy lives
Royal Edoma Engine - if Ikeda thinks bullet hells and horis don't mix well, bullet hell + isometric like Viewpoint = yeah

The 2d Zelda game seems ok, but I don't really like that type of game. Same with the Metroidvania. The mouse-controlled game is neat but a play once sort of thing. And the other shmups are less interesting than the two the OP mentioned.

Nothing against anyone who likes these games, I just wanted to pimp Zangyura since nobody ever mentions that one.

Gotta love Hitogata Happa, but playing Royal Edoma Engine gives me headaches. It's probably a decent game, but the perspective doesn't do anything for me.
