When the extremely rare high quality city connection port has deep themes and good music but is another horizontal shmup locked to widescreen Crying

Great soundtrack and great production values throughout the game. Bosses can throw alot of crap at you very fast.

I'm a sucker for shumps so I ended up grabbing this during the spring sale and it's so much fun. It seems to give you unlimited lives, but I'm just happy challenging myself not to get hit. Boss difficulty increases dramatically after the 2nd one so buckle up.
