Dangan GB2 - Normal - Tally - ALL - 654.909pts
Dangan GB is a homebrew danmaku boss rush shmup made for the Game Boy, a combination that sounds surreal but also impressive for such a console.
I played a little bit of it and actually kinda hated it? The boss behavior was very quickly getting on my nerves with a boss that spams tons of bullets below it while constantly running away from you and dashing towards the side of the screen where you aren't. Yikes. It felt so bad I had no desire to keep playing that game.
Dangan GB2 is the sequel made for the Game Boy Color this time, and it's a lot more enjoyable! The formula remains more or less the same, and while boss 1 is a bit long-ish to my taste, the rest is pretty smooth.
Maybe even too smooth in a way, as this is actually my first attempt at the game on the default Normal difficulty, and I managed to get a clear! Well...I do recall watching a Kumite on the game before so that wasn't a fully blind run from my end. The extra lives you can get were quite helpful as I ended the run naked.
