__TOC__

'''The Hurricane of the Varstray''', is a shmup by Studio SiestA in 2015, initally released as doujin DVD game and then later to STEAM. The game is divided between two versions, one is Collateral Hazard and the other one being Threat of the 3rd Force.

The game is a Star Soldier styled shmup combined with CAVE elements, featuring an insanely high bullet density.

Collateral Hazard has 12 stages, while Threat of the 3rd Force feature 4 long stages. Both versions have an optional 2nd loop known as "Special Dimension".

== Gameplay Overview ==
The player controls a ship that can fire the main weapon, including a sub-weapon as well. The Baryon gauge is used for 2 things, Baryon Shield and Baryon Laser. The Baryon Laser consists of a Hyper weapon that can fire multiple spread lasers, and killing enemies and cancelling bullets with it will release gold items, and if the player lets go the shot button during the Baryon Laser duration, the gold items can be attracted. Collecting gold items will fill up the Grabuster gauge. Grabuster is a force field that gives i-frames to the player and also allows smashing enemies with the ship safely. Smashing things around with the Grabuster will also reveal medals.
When the player collects a G item, the Baryon gauge will be instantly filled. If an F item is collected, it will instantly fill both Baryon and Grabuster gauges.
