One Button Shmups

After being reawakened to the glories of Nexzr by this and this
I was just wondering what other modern shmups have a one-button or no-button control scheme.
I can think of a few with automatic firing- GearToyGear, Gridrunner++ but what others?
....and "modern" means not Space Invaders

Mars Matrix uses a single button for 4 different functions (tap rapidly for autofire, tap sporadically for piercing cannon, hold briefly for bullet capture and hold longer for black hole bomb).

...and I just played Burning Angels on Turbografx which is by Naxat and has a very similar one button scheme to Nexzr so you can see it's ancestry there.

Nah, B button does a special attack if you use it after a charge shot (with some ships?)
