Kamiha (Compo Version) — First Two Stages; No-Miss!!

Posted by John as Shmups

This is Kamiha, presented by Tom Beaumont (aka Mokona) as another pretty good entry into the Shmup-dev Competition 2k7 Round 2.

This game takes on the spirit of a Cave/Takumi shmup with a mix of DoDonPachi combined with the SHEER bullet intensity of Mars Matrix and just crammed them all up with an early ’90s arcade graphical look, too, so manic shmup fans should feel pretty much at home with this one!!

Here, I perform a no-miss play through the first two stages that are actually featured in this demo, plus do witness my amazing use of the Crosshair Targeting System in which you throw one of your available options into your targeted position to hit some enemies, destroying the out of them and turning their own shots into green gems that are then “vacuumed” to you automatically!!!

At the end of my play, please stay for the “How-to-Play” manual that is included in this game, where it shows you fully how to play Kamiha and how your weapons work as well!

To have a shot at downloading this game, please go to the site address:

…and so far, you MUST be registered in the forums there to access the download.

Thanks so much once more, and enjoy them all in this vid!!! ^-^=b !

Youtube greatly reduced video quality because of the high framerate.

Each Episode will feature gameplay from a different bullet shmup game, on it’s hardest difficulty. Not familiar with what a bullet shmup is? Wikipedia has the answer:

Genetos: Stage 1-3 (Trial Version)

Posted by John as 2d Shooter

OKAY, I’M FINALLY BACK GUYS.

i don’t know why it’s taken me so long to record and post something (almost four months) but hopefully i will be able to get some sort of run going, like i had just before i stopped posting. i have to admit, i feel quite surprised to see that my account broke 50 subscribers while i was away, but it’s awesome all the same.

anyway, this is a game i’ve wanted to record for a little while now, even though it’s just a demo. i also needed something to test out fraps (which i have decided not to switch over to, just because of the amount of hassle it takes to get a video ready for upload compared to growler guncam, despite the pleasing results) so it seemed like a brilliant game to test.

genetos is a 2d shooter where you level up and evolve your ship and the world around you by killing enemies and collecting the blue and green circles they drop to fill up an “experience guage” of sorts, which upgrades your ship to something a little stronger and makes the world around you become a little more difficult as well. i think it’s a very interesting concept for a shooter and hope the full version of the game is just as impressive.

i feel like posting more of this kind of stuff, but i really don’t know — i love this style of game, but i don’t think i’m much good at them, so i feel kind of torn. let me know if you’d like to see more of this thing!
