The best way to put it
Imagine if a platformer did not derive its challenge from your jump trajectory and platform shape. You know, having to jump correctly
But instead you saw a red platform, so you press the designated green movement button that teleports you there
Pointblanking is one of the shmup techs that sound stupid to do, but actually saved butts in many runs! Not all shmups have to reward it, but when the game allows it, expect some sexy plays.
Eschatos is one of such great examples. The shield is so great it melts the first boss!

You genuinely cannot understand how much better Go is to Chess without having played it. Saddens me as a player and as a dev how the peak of gaming was basically reached 1000s of years ago.
Also serves as further proof of how easterners just make better games than westerners.

For decades, we will tell the younger generations about this day, April 8, 2026, when world-renowned shmup developer CAVE got bored and decided to come out of hiatus to make an update to their 2008 game DoDonPachi Resurrection.
@JumpyFeller What even is the story of DoDonPachi about? I wonder...
Played almost every single game in the series and love em. Still, I have no idea what they're even about
@Wario64 If DoDonPachi has fans, I am one of them.
If DoDonPachi has 1 fan, it's me.
If DoDonPachi has no fans, THAT'S A DAMN LIE BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS HERE FOR SOME DODONPACHI!!
@Niflheimm155983 I wouldn't say I "don't like roguelites", as I'm sure there are some good ones out there (Downwell was really cool), I just don't want arcade games getting replaced by them just because modern "journalists" (who know nothing about games) say arcade design is outdated...
