Not sure if this counts, but I've been playing Nova Drift for my Shoot'em Up fix. It's on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/858210/Nova_Drift/ It's early access but that is just because they are adding new mods, and have different modes they haven't enabled yet. It's a full game. Endless mode (high score challenge) and also a Time Attack mode is enabled, to see how fast you can get to and beat the final boss. It's appealing because of the variety of builds you can make. There are 14 or so different base hulls you can choose, and like 10 different shields and 12 base weapons. You can mix and match them however you wish, and as you progress through the game you'll get a choice of mods that will drastically change how you play through the game. There are also options to go shield-less, weapon-less (ramming speed), or have drones/mines do your damage instead. I also like the art-direction. It's fairly minimalist, like Geometry Wars, but very vibrant. Some say it's too vibrant when there are too many explosions happening. For old school Mame world Shoot'em ups, my favorite is Darius Gaiden. "dariusg" in Mame. It has amazing music and a huge variety of paths you can take that each have different bosses/levels you'll go through. It's also aquatically themed with robotic bosses being fish of different types and they are awesome. https://shmups.wiki/library/Darius_Gaiden

What do people itt think about Nova Drift as far as SHMUPs goes? It certainly shares some elements, but it's a different kind of game that makes me hesitant to recommend it as a SHMUP, but in that case, what kind of game is it?
