the helicopter boss in the park of esp rade is really hard and since i refuse to play as the little girl because of the annoying sound samples whenever you power up sound so grating its stopping my progress

There's a lot of value in the public being able to see how the system works.
Soldier Blade
SHMUPS in which T's MUSIC does the soundtrack (Lords of Thunder, Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire)
This looks bad but I like the idea of a VS shooter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVA4Zf3FzQc
