[[{{FULLPAGENAME}}|Emerald Blue]] Is a Vertically scrolling Bullet hell Shoot-em-up game developed by Xtrasoft for the PC. It draws heavy inspiration from Ketsui Death Label through its scoring mechanics, bigger sprites such as bullets and the player ship, as well as its shorter length and boss rush mode. It also features a very small hurtbox for the player ship and deceptively small hitboxes for most enemy bullets making squeezing between walls of bullets possible with correct movement and precision.

The game has had two revisions since its release including '''Emerald Blue Xtrarev''' which added the much harder Ura route and some balancing changes and '''Emerald Blue: Crystal Rev''' which added many QOL changes, new modes, a steam leaderboard and an additional section between the stage 4 boss and the TLB.

== Gameplay Overview ==
[[{{FULLPAGENAME}}|Emerald Blue]] is a three button game featuring two ship modes that hold 3 chargeable bombs that are reminiscent of the Radiant Sword from [[Radiant Silvergun]]. Holding shot and focus together allows you to fire a shorter range focused laser that earns you score rapidly similar to Ketsui Death Label's Laser.

=== Controls ===
* '''A:''' Rapid shot
* '''B:''' Focus/slow
* '''C:''' Bomb

=== Ship Modes ===
There are Two Different selectable modes for the ship, speed mode and power mode each having their strengths and weaknesses.

* '''Power Mode''': does higher damage and has a wider shot but is slower and goes into the focus/slow speed immediately when the focus button is held making it less mobile but easier to control.
* '''Speed Mode''': does less damage and has a narrow/linear shot but is very fast and retains its full speed briefly when the focus button is held allowing it to slide across the screen quickly while shooting its laser.

=== Charge/Bomb ===
The Bomb system in the game known as "Charge" is a rechargeable bomb that activates two large blades from the left and right of your ship and sweeps around you like the Radiant Sword, cancelling all bullets it contacts and dealing heavy damage to enemies usually killing them in one hit and granting significantly higher scoring items. You can hold up to 3 charges and can additionally fill up the charge meter to near max effectively making the max amount of bombs that could be held at once to 3.9 charges.

=== Items ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| [[File:1upEmeraldblue.png|center]] || '''1-UP''': items grant an extra life. Spawns when destroying the turret on stage 3 while maintaining a chain of over 500 hits. a second one can be obtained in stage 4 by beating the midboss within 8 seconds.
|-
| [[File:Small score.png|center]] || '''Small gem''': Smaller scoring item that is granted from killing enemies and cancelled bullets. increases your chain by 1 and chain meter by 2.
|-
| [[File:Medium score.png|center]] || '''Medium Gem''': a medium sized scoring item that is granted from damaging enemies with your laser and/or aura while focusing. increases chain by 1 and chain meter by 8.
|-
| [[File:Big score.gif|center]] || '''Large gem''': Larger scoring item that is granted from bombing enemies. increases chain by 1 and resets your chain meter to 60.
|-
| [[File:Medal.png|center]] || '''Medal''': One of the Medals that are placed throughout the 4 stages of the game. each medal grants 100000 score which goes up by 100 every time you collect another one without dropping the medal chain. the medals can only be obtained if the player has a chain over 300 hits.

=== Ura route ===

[[File:Emeraldbluemidboss2ura.png|160px|thumb|right| the exact same boss on ura. lol?]]
If the player achieves 50 million+ score by the end of stage 1 they will enter the Ura route which is a much more difficult version of the game where all the enemies starting from stage 2 will have much more difficult and dense patterns.
