video game genres are all bullshit. I'm sure you already knew that, how many times have you seen a game advertised as "adventure" or "action", fucking useless. this game is evidence that even very specific genres like "shoot-em-ups" are actually a hodgepodge of different types of games. the problem is that genres are defined by some surface level aspect, such as "an autoscroller where you control a character and shoot waves of enemies", not ever considering the core intentions of the game design, which could be "memorizing patterns, shooting and dodging in a 2d plane" or "idk watching all the explosions while wildly flailing around and then you get to buy some wacky new gun with the money you collected"this game has more in common with those old "desktop destroyer" stress relief "games" than with other "shmups
You already made this thread.
>>12391172Best genre to advertise your repeated threads is Autism
Is this bait for that one specific anon who spergs out like crazy over tyrian not being a shmup
>>12391315I would bet that the person who spams these threads and the schizo who always spergs about Tyrian not being a shmup are, in fact, the same person.
>>12391315>>12391324yep, it's the same guy. in case someone here actually likes Tyrian, check out Alexander Brandon's channel on youtube, he's been posting about his work on vidya & is taking requests from viewers
Time is a flat circle. I've wasted too much of my life on repeated bait threads.
if you gave it shmup controls the graphics still would have held it back
