New Kenta Cho Shmup: titanion

BehemothBehemoth Registered User regular
in Games and Technology
Kenta Cho has taken another classic arcade shmup and made it into an addictive, bullet-hell-esque masterpiece. This time, galaga.

Little bug-like things buzz around your ship shooting bullets at you, and you have to kill them all. You can also shoot them with a little tractor beam in some modes to capture and use them to fire more shots. Very addicting and fun.

Get it, and his other games, here: http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/index_e.html[/b]

    This seems kind of like a plug. No offense if it's not or anything.

    New game gets its own thread. Alert the mods.

    ...

    Goddamn it, I'm still not happy with my performance in Parsec 47, and I never could play Torus Trooper for long.

    It's not, there's a small but dedicated following for Kenta Cho's work on the board here so any news of new releases is welcome.

    Lots of Java and freeware shmups. Worth a look for any fan of the genre.

    Old and unattended enough that this is the new thread.

    Torus Trooper still seems to be my favorite of these for some reason. It's not THAT great. I'm a sucker for Tempest-esque/Space Harrier type games though.

    I just wanted another chance to show off my fantabulous hi-score.

    which will probably be beaten shortly...

    Anyone who likes shooting things should try these games. Seriously.

    Torus Trooper is my favorite too, but I think this might replace it. It's also really fast and shows more cool 3-d stuff. I'm sure mu-cade was cool too, but I could never understand that game...

    Torus Trooper is my favourite too. I think it's the speed that gets people.

    I don't suppose there's a Mac version? I know some of his games have Mac releases.

    Torus Trooper is amazement, though I kind of have no idea what's going on.

    It's time based, you lose when you run out of time, you get time for beating bosses, bosses appear when you kill a certain number of enemies. I only noticed the thing about when bosses appear recently, there's a little number in the corner that counts your total number, and a number next to it that is how many more you have to kill to make a boss appear.

    Most of the time, I have no idea how I'm surviving in that game, i just move back and forth, and use the x shot when there's too many bullets.

    Go rRootage! The Ikaruga mode especially was great.

    I loves me some Touhou 7 and Touhou 8. I wish they would come out for Virtual Console, because my computer is a piece of crap.

    The sound of eight hooves reaches his ears, comes from the heavenly light, two wolves howls fills his heart with fear, and he sees two ravens fly. Down from the sky a warlord rides, like fire his one eye glows, and just before the preacher dies he knows his god is false.

    There's some other Japanese guy that ports them, I doubt he's done it yet.

    Kenta Chohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Man, I'm so trying this when I get home from work. I play Gunroar and Parsec 47 all of the time. Something about the wireframe graphics and bullet-hell goodness ... anyway, totally stoked about this, although I honestly couldn't get into Torus Trooper and that other Snake-like one he did (forget the name).

    Man so that's awesome.

    Is it just one guy who does this all with his Japanese ninja skills or is it a bunch of people who do it?

    Either way, this one is an awesome update to Galaga.

    Modern mode I got to phase 30 something on my first try.

    Woo.

    They're just developed by Kenta Cho, Jezo. So, one guy.

    Yeah, rRootage is my favorite as well. It has a lot of slowdown on the later stages (though I'm not sure if that's the game's fault or that of my computer), but it's still a really cool game.

    Just in case people missed it (which I'm pretty sure they did) Tolito interviewed Kenta Cho a while back. Here's the youtube link since mtv's site is balls awful.
