A shmup question.

I really like the concept of getting a slightly more powerful shot if you get close to enemy bullets.

What other games beside the SNS series have this feature?

Also, are any games in the "ESP" series character shmups?

Well most danmaku games have this.

Esprade and Espgaluda II have 3 characters and Espgaluda has 2. Dunno if that means they count as "character shmups". What exactly does this mean anyway?

Character shmups are shmups with characters instead of ships.

Example:Shikigami no Shiro.

Okay. Yeah, then all the games in the ESP series are character shmups.

They're all great games, btw. Especially Espgaluda.

Storm Caliber Gaiden does this very well. Scratching bullets doesn't increase the power of your regular shot, but makes the ship shoot homing lasers.
