Hello and welcome!

For those just swinging by for the first time, I started Shmuptopia to give games in the STG genre their own spotlight. I have an immense passion for STGs that started in 2018 and really wanted to begin spreading shmupwareness to the darkened corners of the planet and far beyond.

I am pretty much exclusively on Switch these days and have been for a while but aim to branch out more and more over time.

I offer First Looks, 1cc runs, reviews, guides, and more. I always respond to the stellar comments left by the incredible community we have growing here so never hesitate to drop something but please keep it appropriate. I love pouring my time and energy into all things SHMUPS so let's have an epic time together!

All my 1cc runs are real. No edits, save states, etc.

If you like my videos, free free to like and consider subscribing to keep up to speed with all future projects.

With all of that out of the way, strap yourself in and enjoy the ride through the cosmos!
