Jet Buster

I just picked up a bunch of shmups in the summer sale, and dabbled in ~30 minutes of each just to test them out. So far this is my favorite. The music and pixel art make a great first impression, and the gameplay is very responsive. Movement speed feels perfect, and there's a really fun medalling system that also provides metaprogression currency to unlock new playable characters. It's obvious that Jet Buster was made with a lot of care and attention to detail. I was honestly hesitant at first due to the heavy focus on anthro characters, but they're mostly just on the game's optional borders and on the character select screen, so don't let them push you away from trying a genuinely great game if you're on the fence. I almost skipped on it, and I'm glad I gave it a try.

This game is awesome. Super fun bullet patterns to dodge, really smooth and responsive controls. Funny story. It's got it all. If you can get past the anamorphic animals there's a lot to love here. Finally got a 1cc of normal mode after a lot of tries. And I already want to go back in and try it with other characters and eventually expert mode. Top tier shmup.

This game is a very unfun SHMUP to play. I have 1CCs on many games in the genre but in this one I could barely compel myself to play long enough just to clear the first level. Whatever is going on here does not work for me, whether that's hitbox jank or bad enemy placement or boss design or whatever. Only having one character to play with from the start also doesn't help, and despite the sort of fun combination of aesthetic and sound design this feels overall like a wholly unpolished experience and not one worth spending any real time on.

Interesting classic shmup with some modern conviniences (small hitbox, focus button) . The controls are excelent and precise. The enemyes and bullet patterns are solid but uninspired. you won´t see nothing inovative. You can select between 2 levels of dificulty (normal and hard) and both are well balanced. The presentation (audio and graphics) are average and visual clarity is good . The game is fun. There are extras that you can buy in a shop with money that you can win playing the game. I am not fan of this system, because it requires a lot of grinding. There are high probabilities of stop playing this game before you can buy those extras. The price is a bit high considering other offers in the market and lack of production values, altough the gameplay department as mentioned before works well. In spite of being a bit generic is fun, solid and has modern convinences that make me recomend this game if you like classic shmups.

Rapidly collecting games during "Shmup Fest". While the art style appears to be geared towards the modern breeds of human - the gameplay here is excellent. The music...is really well composed - but that sliding lead tone sounds drunk half of the time. 8/10 - Too much glissando - IGN

fast bullets, fast furries

A genuinely great shmup that really sucks you in with simple but compelling gameplay. The background character art might not be to everyone's tastes but I can't imagine anyone not finding the actual game cute and pleasant. Just the ticket! By the way, this game was also included in the bundle for racial justice over on Itch.io.

the soundtrack sounds like it came off the sega genesis
