Barrage Musical ~ Basic Danmaku Tutorial ~ / 弹幕音乐绘 ~ 基础教学篇 ~

Like others have mentioned, English language is supported, so ignore that part on the store page! This is an interactive bullet hell shoot'em up ("shmup") tutorial that introduces new players to some basics, like hitboxes, or the slow-/ focus button. There is also some interesting info about player movement. After that, the game covers some general types of enemy shots / formations, and teaches the player how to deal with them. In each lesson, the player has to apply what they learned. And in the final lesson, they have to figure out how to apply everything they learned, in order to survive. (don't feel bad if it feels completely overwhelming at first ^^) Even as a long-time player, I found this tutorial game helpful, and enjoyed it! :) Keep in mind that it doesn't teach all the basics: There are no bombs, enemy homing projectiles, or suicide bullets. The game doesn't mention popular concepts like rank or grazing. And no mention about the unwritten rule that you only beat a shmup if you 1cc it, or about the usefulness to score well to gain extra lives ("extends"). But it's alright! The game is very cheap, and it's really cool for what you pay! :) Just don't expect a full tutorial that covers everything you should know. ;)

Like every review says, Ignore the steam warning, English is supported, you just gotta change it in the options menu (which is also in English) I've casually touched on some bullet hell games (Bullet Heaven, Technically Undertale when wife needed help with some of the bosses and I'm dipping my toes into a little Touhou) But this was not only a good intro to the genre, not only teaching you all the little tricks of the trade but also some minor history lessons and WHY things are designed the way they are, making this a solid reference for any budding gamedevs. The final test is a banger synced to a remix of Canon in D Major, and it SLAPS. Both the remix and the level, putting everything you learned to the test, even making you save your replay as a final reward. My sole I do wish there was a little more feedback on what you did wrong (Especially the final test, I still dont 100% Have my head screwed on straight about restreaming, though I think the pattern the devs picked could have been better) Its two bucks, sure an hour of gameplay give or take but worth it for the experience.
