I’ve been getting into GBA games and wanna try some more shooters, bullethell style ones. Sorta like invader.
Either original or homebrew, I don’t mind :3
Shoot em up: Iridion 2
RPG: Mega Man Battle Network series
Racing: just Mario Kart Super Circuit lol
I know of Gradius Galaxies and Iridian II
Sigma Star Saga is an odd RPG game where the random encounters are short side scrolling shmup segments. I really enjoyed the amount of it that I played, but you can get screwed in some encounters as it gives you a random ship each time, and some are worse than others.
Sounds goob :3
astro boy is sorta a shmup like megaman
Not a GBA game but a GB game: Solar Striker
Still have never beat it to this day.
Isn’t that the one that relied on the DMG screen for visuals?
No idea! It certainly had that screen, but I can’t recall if it was necessary. I’ll have to get my GBC out and see. It’s pretty smeary on my GBA.

It’s bullet hell but pretty simple and fun

I has apotris. Also I saw bullet gba is sorta flipped. Would it work in an sp form factor?

Ah, yeah it might be kind of rough on an SP. You could play it normally though tbh. The menus are flipped but once you’re in the game there’s not much difference playing it flipped on its side
