This was a really obscure but good shmup.

AISZplus is a shmup by takayakata in 2022 using STGBuilder. The game basically involves in shooting down enemies quickly most of the time. You have wide shot (a weak but wide 5-way shot) and a open shot (strong rapid narrow vulcan shot). The open shot has a mechanic. When not firing the open shot for a period of time, the ship will present glow effects, indicating that open shot is charging up, and when firing it, it will fire a stronger stream of bullets, and if you keep firing the open shot, it will weaken. To recharge it`s strength, you must not fire the open shot until the ship charges it long enough to fire the strong open shots stream again.
The game also has a shield system, in which it can protect you from dangers. You can collect up to 10 shields. Be aware that when firing open shot, the shield will be disabled for that firing and will expose your ship. If you die with the open shot while having shields collected, you will lose 4 shields.
After a stage is cleared, you are awarded the stage bonus depending on your remaining resources.
To get the hidden extend in Stage 2, you must destroy the mid-boss` circle thingies on boths sides before destroying it`s main part.

Also, the backrounds you see on the sides are "Catactus 🐱🌵" by ArtStaion user Mukeo, and the other one... I dunno where is it from.
