Last Boss 88·Released Jan 12, 2024·Single player
Shinorubi is a Bullet Hell Shoot'em up in the tradition of Danmaku games. A pure dose of adrenaline and frenetic arcade action. Choose your pilot and a spaceship, face powerful Bosses, and experience many cool Arrange Mods!
The saving grace is that Shinorubi works far better in handheld mode. It doesn’t look as displeasing, the boss designs are pretty heavy-duty, the frame rate doesn’t seem to be as messy, and your ship, while still overly quick, can travel the screen with greater ease. If you’re playing it portable, there’s some fun to be had with its various modes, of which it’s stuffed to bursting: boss rushes, caravan trials, a Muchi Muchi Pork-inspired rebounding pig score game (more interesting than the default, honestly), and a three-loop Journey event. The music, too, if you enjoy endless guitar solos, is well-executed and appropriately heavy.
