DRAINUS

This is a spectacularly well made game, with a consistent appearance, incredible effects and a very cool set of core gameplay mechanics. It's without question one of the top two shmups I've played in years, and sets a new high bar for other games to aim for.

Epic Shmup although short. Mc fighter jet has unique feature, energy bullet absorbtion and reflect it back. Making things bit easier facing bullet hell since mc can absorb energy bullet but not physical bullet. Good job team Ladybug, your games always epic but short.

The upgrades are fun to experiment with and it's cool how you can tune the Drainus' speeds for slow and normal mode on the fly. You can also map the inputs separately for UI nav and actual gameplay. I love the sprite art and emotional soundtrack. It's just constant action. My wishlist for this game would be: - A dedicated scoreboard page, since the only way to see your score is to load a previous save. - PS button prompts

Gets the adrenaline pumping. Great soundtrack also

Completed it in one sitting, didn't even have a smoke break. Loved it! Fast paced frenetic action with a highly customisable approach to combat which you can, and need, to change on the fly. That's absolutely my favourite part of the game. The art style is uniquely memorable and, importantly for a bullet hell game, all the attacks pop and everything you need to dodge, block, etc. is clear from the get go. The tutorial doesn't waste time either, just teaches you the absolute basics before getting on with the story, and the UI is so nicely designed that you can work out the mechanics and what everything represents without too much difficulty. The story isn't really my cup of tea, but that's down to personal taste, and I still like the punchy way the story and dialogue is delivered, and ultimately it does well to contextualise the action.

Fun entertaining shmup. Took me 5.6 hrs to 100% so not too long however I only played on normal difficulty, they're are five to choose from: Easy, Normal, Hard, Ridiculous and Arcade. They're 6 stages to play through, once complete to follow the story you go need to go through them again. As you progress through the game you can acquire upgrades for your ship. Everything ran smoothly for me and I would recommend this one.
