1st clear on the PC port of Star Hunter DX!

Star Hunter DX is a shmup by 1CC Games. This game is majorly inspired in other shmups like Progear no Arashi, P-47 Aces, Operation Ragnarok, E.D.F., Area 88, etc.
The game basically consists of shooting stuff to collect blue cubes that will fill up the Bullet Time circle.
Bullet Time consists of enhancing weapon power, slowing down time, display enemy HP bars and get gold cubes from cancelled bullets.
While having some Bullet Time left on the Bullet Time circle, it can be deactivated. Don`t worry, it won`t drain the whole Bullet Time circle.
Rescuing astronauts will also fill up the Bullet Time circle.
The multiplier affects the gold cube values, and to fill up the multiplier, you must attack enemies with the rapid shot or graze bullets. Multiplier reaches up to x8.00
Depending on what difficulty you play, the frequency of extends will variate.
If you fill up the Extend charge gauge (displayed below the score count), you will make a 1UP item appear.
Each difficulty variates the enemy firing frequency.
Bombs stock start at 3 (which is the max Bomb capacity). To recover bombs, you must graze enough until filling the Bomb charge gauge.
Bombing will turn bullets into blue cubes. When bombing on Bullet Timer state, bullets will turn into gold cubes.
You can also sometimes hold the rapid shot button and spam the laser button to try getting a high damage input (just like some Grybanser Fox shmups).

Despite of the game being quite hard, I love how well made it is!
