Yeah, that is pretty fun. I like how it makes a few tweaks to the Raiden formula and has the ship fast enough to actually dodge bullets, or even buzz around helicopters if so willing.

The game saddens me because it further fuels my belief that Raiden I and II would have been good games if only the ship speed had been increased. I also liked the fact that each weapon had a unique bomb. Incredibly easy though.

What are you talking about? *hysteric*
They're good games!

Very nice for a flash game.

Stopped playing after I found out that the second loop is not more difficult than the first one.

seems fun, too bad it runs waaaaaay too slow on this crappy mac.

It's definately fun, but it wouldn't have killed them to add joypad support.

I don't think joypad support exists in flash. So it quite possibly may have.

Ok, well at any rate, that is the coolest PC shmup I've played since Robobombo! That was pretty much the only shmup I played while I was in college-I used it for study breaks during some long papers in the computer lab!

But now you have to pay to play it, which is just lame.

Wow, this is a very well done fangame. It's an excellent tribute to Raiden II, and I do like the unique bombs for each weapon. The graphics are pretty cool too, almost done in Super Mario World 2 style.

The makers even used my MIDI sequence of Raiden Densetsu's "Fighting Thunder" for the cutscene between Stages 5 and 6 when blasting off into space.

Overall, this is a well-done fangame. Great find!

15 ships on normal difficulty? I enjoyed playing one loop, but there was no challenge to it. What the game showed very clearly, however, is why rank was invented in the first place: this flash game has no rank, and as a result it´s ridiculously easy when you´re fully powered up, but killing bosses takes forever when you´re not. Rank like it is present in the original Raiden games would have remedied that problem.

I finally tried this... yeah, I was wondering why the bosses seemed to go down really easily... after a few crap starts, I got fully powered up and have SLC'ed perfectly to stage 3 already

Well, at least that's a confidence booster of sorts

Edit: Spoke too soon... bit it on Stage 5. Oh, well

Definitely a game I could recommend to Beginning Shmuppers.

Yeah, the game is pretty easy, and it's even easier if your pc can't handle it and it slows down.

This is a great beginner shooter, though. gonna ry it on max difficulty now.
