Zero-G controls are always rough. Unfortunately this results in one of the gameplay modes being a bit too loose for me to enjoy. However, ground and flight controls are pretty decent, definitely something I can get used to, especially when mixing in the armor purge mechanic. Kinda wish this game had twin-stick aiming, but it was originally a PSP game so it makes sense why it doesn't.

Armored Hunter Gunhound EX is a 2013 PSP doujin game inspired by 16-bit classics like the Assault Suits series and Front Mission: Gun Hazard. Mixing platforming with mecha combat, this mostly grounded shmup features fun combat and movement, a surprising amount of customization, and plenty of replay value for chasing high scores. While Gunhound is no longer listed on Steam, the game that most heavily inspired it, Assault Suits Leynos, is available in a modern HD remaster, and Gunhound's code is actually now open source, so you might still be able to get your hands on this game if you look around for it.
