Tendo City

Small game made by some Japanese person in their spare times.

Izza shooter!

Differenter, it's like as the enemy is alive.

Okay, enuffa that. So's, you fight a boss over and over again, only depending on how you fight, it evolves. Also, rather than limited lives, when you die it greatly impacts the time left to defeat the boss. Normally there is plenty to kill the boss, but each death means you have to speed up the process if you don't want a game over. Also, there's this cool aiming feature. When you press a certain button an adjustable shot zone will appear. You can change it's size and aim just by moving, and to keep it fixed just hold down the fire button. Makes for some good strategy to counter the evolving boss.

WARNING FOREVER! Engrish Name!

There are a lot of Japanese freeware and shareware scrolling shooters out there if you look for them... I have some. Not that one, but some others.

I know, this one just happened to catch my attention because of the evolving boss mechanic that lets them develop specifically to your methods.

More importantly, did you actually get it and play it or are you saying "oh I have enough already"?

No, I'll get it... not right this second, but I will download it. :)

Wow, that game gets crazy hard.

That's because it finds your ONE weakness, and aims a gatling gun at it!

My best score so far (on Normal mode) is about 4.5 million... you can do a lot better, though.

Oh, they're up to version 1.06 (and supposedly final?).

Edit: Okay, did a bit better. 9,360,060, at level 14.
