REDNEG ALLSTARS SWING-BY EDITION

Another very fun shmup by Outside. Personally, it's lack of levels structure, and focus on 30+ bosses in a row is a little less interesting to play through than Like Dreamer or Cosmo Dreamer, but the gaming you do is a lot of fun. I unlocked a second mode that has some different bosses, and will be checking that out. Easier than the other two games as well, got the 1cc on Hard my first time through. I got filtered down to Normal in cosmodreamer for the 1cc, and while i can do all the stages in LIke Dreamer on hard, i only barely snuck through the Tour Mode 1cc on Maniac (normal). I bet the high end is still very hard, but it seems the low end has been brought down to be more approachable, and that's probably fine. The weakest of the 3, but still a great time with novel fights.

100% positive well deserved

Another game I judged unfairly when I first played it. A boss rush that slowly opens up as you play. Contains the same kind of gameplay as Outside's other games... So if you love Cosmo & Like Dreamer, you LOVE this too! Highly recommended!

Fun boss rush!

Really fun boss rush shmup with touhou inspirations and (very quirky, but ultimately) charming visuals. Can be as relaxing or hellish to play as you'd like, and a great intro to the genre.

While I would prioritise Like Dreamer, REDNEG is still very solid. Five difficulties and three gamemodes (two bossrushes + an Endless mode) and eight characters is plenty enough for the prizetag. Personally, even though I'm not good enough to actually care the scoring seemed a bit boring and the characters are very much alike, but I don't know how you could meaningfully differentiate more than two/three character's with the boss rush structure of the game (I also haven't unlocked the Ketsui character yet so I might eat my words).
