Bullet hell downloads

Post by Kenshudo »

The best free games I know off are a couple of Doujin games made by x.x.

They can be downloaded from his website here:

Furthermore, MAME roms of arcade games are easy to find. Stuff like DoDonPachi and Progear are pretty bullet hell :)

My personal favorite Bullet Hell series on the PC are the Touhou games, which cost money (unless you download them).

Touhou games aren't freeware. You can find links for the demo versions at Shoot The Core.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

Cho Ren Sha 68K is pretty awesome.

I also happen to love this NTSC-uk feature on shmups. Lots of interesting information on the homebrew/doujin scene.
