BEAUTIFUL WORLD:
Beautiful world is a wonderful shmup that, sadly, is not in english. =*(
Anyhow, it's three stages long, which is perfect for a shmup-tastic quicker picker upper.
It's hard to explain why I love this game so much, because there isn't any one thing that's so great about it. Somehow, it just feels perfect. You play as a Ninja, and your flying through towns and stuff throwing kunai at endless foes. With powerups you can throw six kunai at a time! (Possible? No. For a ninja? Yes.) The enemy bullet patterns are expertly constructed, and they get only better as the bosses roll in. To say the least, Beautiful World is perfect in it's simplicity more than anything else. It doesn't try to be the next new thing, it doesn't try to be creative, or original, modern, showy, and many other traps some shmups fall into.
It's back to the good ol' days of just you, (the ninja,) vs. the entire universe. Nothing more, nothing less. Perfection.
Fun:9/10, Very fun
Difficulty:5/10, Relatively easy
Replay:8/10, High replay rate

Your shmups make me scream. The shower of doom I think caused permanent nerve damage, but I digress.
When we get around to making that shmup I was telling you about that takes place in the bloodstream, don't you see how easily we could fit it into "pureheart"? Think about that. It's on my ever-growing to-do list.

It would be nice if it swapped between normal Pureheart gameplay and shump-atude.

www.vector.co.jp/download/file/win95/game/fh396826.htmlThis is Vacant Arc, another game made by the company that made beautiful world. This one is nowhere near as awesome as BW, but fresh and creative nonetheless. Fun:6, Somewhat fun Difficulty:6, Somewhat hard Replay:6, Somewhat replayable

In contrast, I've played through BW probly about 100 times now.

...but doesn't playing any game through for just a second time technically make it "replayable"...since, you know, you REPLAYED it?
