This month’s voting led to another tie, so I picked the final winner which is… Gunvein by the folks at NGDEV! It’s available on PC and the Nintendo Switch.

There’s 1cc mode, score attack, and challenge modes, and a great practice mode.

How to participate

Leave a comment in this post with your questions, tips and tricks, howls of frustration, whoops of triumph, scores, 1cc’s – and at the end of the month, medals will be awarded to top players! (But in my book, all participants are winners!)

Happy shmuping!

    It’s been a good little while since I played GunVein, so I decided to hit up the Score Attack 1 challenge, just to de-rust. Did not do so well… maybe it’s been longer than I thought!

    i need to check my library but i may already have this one. if i can get my leverless to work with it in steam, i’ll give it a go. something tells me it’ll wear out my thumb if i try to use a game pad!

      turns out I don’t own the game yet. installed the demo and it looks pretty fun after the first little tutorial. I’ll post scores when I get the chance

        played the generous demo and it was pretty fun. sadly i don’t know what my score was because it stops you after the first arcade level and i neglected to take a screenshot.

        i had fun with what was available but i probably won’t buy this one because the bullet contrast seemed really low. there were several times i lost a ship but didn’t understand why. it seemed like everything was basically just pink and purple. i’m not even sure i could tell you what the background or enemy ships looked like.

        EDIT: the game has total SDOJ vibes and i love that
