Developer:	Rakugaki Games
Release date:	8 December, 2017.

Tenta Shooter / The 触シュー is a shmup made by Rakugaki Games using STGBuilder and released in December 8th 2017 for Steam by the publisher Henteko Doujin. The game seems to be inspired in Mushihimesama, EspRaDe, RefleX, GigaWing, and even Dangun Feveron for the bullet speeds.

Gameplay Overview

Tenta Shooter / The 触シュー is a vertically scrolling shmup with 8 way directional movement, a shot button, a Bullet Counter button and a rapid fire button.

Bullet Counter (B.C.) is a weapon that can turn bullets into homming shots to fire back at the enemies.

The player has a Death gauge that represents the amount of damage taken from enemies. If it reaches full capacity, the game will end.

Extends are basically an apple on the back, and when the Death gauge is full, the player is given another chance to continiue ahead.

There are hidden fairies and tokens scattered around the stage, and they can be revealed by completing certain tasks.

There`s also Stage tasks, which awards stars for acomplishing those requirements.
