Classic Japanese style vertical manic shooting action! Shoot, dodge and explode your way through the second entry in the critically acclaimed Danmaku Unlimited series. Battle through nail-biting bullet patterns and compete for dominance on the global leaderboard!
Players control a spaceship that must navigate through intense, dense barrages of enemy bullets and patterns in this classic vertical scrolling shoot 'em up. The objective is to survive the various stages and defeat the challenging boss encounters at the end of each level.
Players can choose between two distinct gameplay modes: Classic Mode In this mode, the player's ship has a primary rapid-fire weapon as well as a "Focus" mode. Pressing the Focus button allows for more precise aiming and bullet grazing, which provides a score multiplier boost when executed successfully. Burst Mode This mode replaces the Focus ability with a powerful laser beam that can cancel out enemy bullets. This mode encourages a more aggressive, high-scoring playstyle, as the laser can be used to rack up large point multipliers.
The game caters to both casual and hardcore shmup fans with its range of difficulty settings. Players can choose from Easy, Normal, Hard, and Extreme difficulties, with the higher levels introducing significantly denser and more complex bullet patterns.
Between playthroughs, players can earn upgrade points to incrementally improve their ship's firepower, defense, number of lives, and continues. This allows less experienced players to gradually increase their capabilities and work towards mastering the game's intense challenges.
The game's tight, responsive controls and the satisfying feel of weaving through the intricate bullet patterns create an addictive gameplay loop. The combination of procedurally generated enemy waves, multi-phase boss battles, and the upgrade system encourages repeated attempts to improve one's score and survival.
While firmly rooted in the demanding "bullet hell" genre, the game strikes a good balance in terms of accessibility. The lower difficulty settings allow new players to gradually acclimate to the genre's intense gameplay, while the higher difficulties provide an immense challenge for shmup veterans.
