[GBC] Dangan GB2 - Hard Mode No-Miss - 707,935 Pts
172Dangan GB2 is a new freeware bullet hell homebrew made for the Game Boy Color to celebrate the console's 25th anniversary.
After Over OBJ on the NES and the upcoming SNES bullet hell Rex Nobilis, there seems to be a bit of a trend at the moment of people making modern bullet hell homebrews on consoles you wouldn't expect these to be on. And I'm quite all for it.
This game is quite impressive. It's designed to be run on actual hardware, but there doesn't seem to be any slowdown or flicker, which is quite crazy for the amount of bullets on screen. Some real wizardry going on here.
The game is pretty short but it's still probably the best shmup on the Game Boy.
The game has 6 stages and is designed as a boss-rush.
Mechanics are pretty simple, you just shoot and have bombs.
There are 3 difficulties, but the only thing that really changes is the amount of resources you get.
The main thing with Hard mode is that you never get any bombs.
The game is not super hard, the hitboxes are very small and the bullets are very slow. It's also very short. The hardest part is probably that there is no focus button.
There are some scoring mechanics in this.
You get more tick points for being closer to the boss and there are a bunch of stage-end bonuses.
This is technically the sequel, the dev made the game GB1 before this.
That game was very much a tech demo though, this is more of a real developed game.
