I'm kind of trying to get into shmups, although mostly for specific game aesthetics.
Finished Sine Mora on baby mode, this game basically took a dump on my face and made me eat it
Did 1CC clear of Gigantic Army (it's kind of a shmup, right?) on Normal, then kinda got bored
Trying to do a 1CC clear of ALLTYNEX Second, but it seems impossible for me even on easy
Is there anything I should know to git gud, beyond basic practice and learning/figuring out enemy patterns? Or it's just pure practice + good reaction time?
I'm also thinking of making a shmup game (not for shekels, I just enjoy mecha porn and shumps seem to be the genre that employs it the most), but as far as I understand it's kind of bad idea unless I'm very familiar with the genre?
