NOISZ
It was about time I write a proper Review of one of my favorite Video Games in Existence.
‘Kay here I go.
NOISZ is a Masterpiece.
I love 99.99% of it.
But with the upcoming 2.5 Update, it shall be over 9000%, hahahah funny meme.
Alright more details.
Story is very well-written and engaging.
Though when you gather absolutely all the Events of both NOISZ and re:||VERSE and analyse, there can be some oddities in the Continuity.
NOT SPOILING !
The Origin of it are Plot Twists, obviously.
At least, we don’t reach Kingdom Hearts level of Absurdity.

Read More: Best Bullet Hell Rhythm Games.
The description pretty much explains about this game: this is a mix of bullet hell and rhythm game. Now, a similar, much more popular game of “avoid these things that come out in sync with the music” is Just Shapes & Beats, but there’s a fundamental difference between NOISZ and Just Shapes & Beats. Just Shapes & Beats is just a plain bullet hell game that happens to have good music; you don’t need to have a sense of rhythm to excel in it. On the other hand, NOISZ is also a rhythm game. In NOISZ, you can only take an action every beat, which means despite all the bullets coming at you, you must maintain that rhythm in your head.

Star Apprentice: Magical Murder Mystery
Y’all I think someone in the staff likes
! Jojo.
On a more serious note, this was really fun to play! The sprite work is really great and I loved the opening when you start the game. I can very much tell that this game took some inspirations from games like Danganronpa and other murder mystery VN-type games. Along with some inspirations from games like Touhou and Ikaruga. Now, I’m not that good at bullet hells so when I checked the options and saw infinite lives I went “oh thank god”. I still very much enjoyed the gameplay from it and having to dodge the bullets while trying to figure out whether the current statement is contradictory or not (or finding the time to focus on reading it in some cases).

I played this game one night with friends and had a blast!
The unique and interesting concept definitely makes this a game to try out if you have some time to kill as the game is quite short in length. Especially appealing to Bullet Hell or Dangan Ronpa fans but can be played by anyone!
-
The dynamic soundtrack is awesome and goes lovely along side the detective work. Very befitting of the “Detective” tag!
-
Minnie and the other characters have interactions that are sweet and conversation is smooth and feels genuine.

Chuhou Joutai 2: Paraided!
I’m not familiar with Touhou games but I can see most of the stage and boss designs are reminiscent of them. Arcade difficulty gets ridiculous past stage 6.
A very charming game if and only if you’re into Touhou shooters.

Wings Of Bluestar
I have been following this game since it’s inception. What really stuck out was the graphics. It’s all hand painted with allot of detail in the environment. The game is a combination of Pulstar and Blazing star with a touch of R-type. it works really well. i found myself addicted to play the game again when i died. oh yes you will die, but you will make it a bit further each time you try again. That is what a shmup is all about. It also helps that the sound effect are really crunchy with great visual effects.

The Cruise
The game dev was kind enough to share a copy of this game with me so I could write a review. After a few hours of game play I can say it delivers on the description. This game is a space, retro, Galaga style game. My critiques would be that a lot goes on on screen at once and can be a little overwhelming, as well as I would like more in game progression such as power ups while playing, rewarding you for surviving a longer amount of time/making you stronger or healing you over time. I like the class concept and the bosses/mode for 1v1ing bosses. Overall a good game especially for a learning/new game dev. I would recommend getting the game for some fun and over just the fact that the main dev/creator is very kind and put a lot of effort into this for their first game.

Hell Blasters
I’m fairly new to playing shoot em ups (shmups) to actually be good at them rather than just credit feed my way through an arcade game. I wanted to get into ‘bullet hell’ shmups but the games are really intimidating. This game was recommended because the designer is an accomplished bullet hell player who made the gameplay the top priority - and made it so you can use the story mode to actually learn to play a bullet hell.
It’s been an absolute blast and the story mode really delivers bite sized chunks of training and the arcade so you can practice them and learn how to deal with the enemies.

This is the Bluesmobile of shmups. It may not look like much on the outside, but it’s got the cop motor, cop tires, and probably even the cig lighter. Great level design & bullet patterns, a ton of modes, leader board & replays, great shmup tunes, it’s all there. Great work, devs!

QP Shooting - Dangerous!!
In most of the Shoot’Em Up & Bullet Hell games, they are fun to play, delivers good intense bosses moments and frustrations that sometimes enrages you like never before (that depends though). Such elements are well expected in this genre and that’s what make the games nice, if it is. And for that, QP Shooting - Dangerous!! is one of those games in that genre that delivered quite nicely, in a way. Let’s check it out.
The Gameplay
In this kind of game, there’s nothing much to expect, except shooting enemies at sight. It is very straightforward and pretty simple to play. You shoot, evade the incoming bullets and defeat all the bosses until to the end. Of course, the simplicity depends on how hard the game is, in which in this case, is the opposite. One might think playing the Easy difficulty would be fine, but it’s just as unexpectedly hard. And don’t think about the Super Difficulty (the Ultra Hard mode) as it’s insane. Then again, since this is a Bullet Hell game too, so it’s understandable. Moving on, the interesting features in this game are there are the different formations and modes. This is nice because it has so formations and modes to choose from, thus, making you wonder which is the one that fits you best. So, even for just a stage, you can replay it with many different formations and modes. However, unlike most generic games, it has no continue and once all the lives are depleted, that’s it, game over. You can’t continue and that makes it very super frustrating, especially if you’re going for certain achievements and ended up dead in final boss stage. Bummer! Speaking of achievements, there are a few easy to get while some are insanely hard to achieve. It kind of makes you wonder, what were the developer thinking to make such an achievements that could enrages you to the level you’ve never imagine could. Hard game. Plus, it only has 5 stages so it’s kind of short for a shoot’em up game. In fact, it’s kind of rare too.

Despite how simple this game looks, it’s a shockingly deep and polished bullet hell smup. While, if your a fan of the genre, you’re probably not going to encounter many completely original mechanics, what you will find is a large range of ways to approach a familiar formula. Unlike many bullet hell games, where defensive play is essential, in this the majority of bullets are produced by low health minions, and since bullets are transformed into points on death, aggressive strategies are shockingly valid. The game also allows you to customize your bullet patterns (although most need to be unlocked) and switch between three of them on the fly (either with a direct bind and/or with cycling if your prefer). While most are fairly simple, some are complex and can be affected by the direction of your movement, your location when you switched to them or the use of slow move (the essential bullet hell feature reduces your speed and displays your hit dot for precise dodging).
