Shmup Experiments (upcoming)

I am currently working, on and off, on some shmup prototypes. In the meantime, I've done some experimental forks of Kenta Cho's open-source shooters.

rRootage — a boss-rush shmup where you dodge autocreated bullet patterns. This fork adds a "DR" mode inspired by Drainus: you can deploy an absorption sphere to absorb bullets, then reflect them back at enemies on release. Purple bullets can't be absorbed, carve a path with careful meter management.

TUMIKI Fighters — a 2D shooter where destroyed enemies break into pieces that stick to your ship, making you progressively more powerful. This fork adds improved screen resizing, a "REV mode" with point-blank damage mechanics, level select and boss rush modes. In REV mode, the ship tilt is fixed unless you press the hide button.

This is not something you could really do with procedural generation; information is deduced, and reacted to, from the hidden information.
