Arugaki
A downloadable shoot'em up
You have two colored shields to use in the game. The circle around you will absorb like colored bullets, filling the bar on the left. The bar on the left allows you to shoot homing lasers depending on how full it is. Destroying a ship with the same colored bullet will cause it to release a cluster of bullets to absorb. Attacking an enemy with the opposite colored bullet does double damage. Destroying four or more enemies of the same color, and every like colored enemy after that, gives you a point bonus.
The bar on the right is filled by allowing the opposite colored bullet pass through your circle. When the bar on the right fills, it will give you one bomb. Bombs are deployed when you take damage and will save your ship from exploding.
Check out Arugaki, my homage to Ikaruga and Danmaku Unlimited III. I hope you like it, and let me know what you think! Thank you everyone!

Thank you for playing!
Very nice game. Small and sweet. Definitely reminds me a lot of Ikaruga and Danmaku Unlimited.
Thank you for the kind words!
Hello, thank you for this game, I installed to my Windows 10 PC, Zip file can be better option than installation cause off windows installation errors.
After installation start menu did not work application name looks wrong in folder. ${Arugaki}.exe
When I start game, I cannot quit from option menu.
My gamepad did not work . I am using gamepad daily. I don't know.
And thanks for videos on youtube.
Thanks for your post. Terribly sorry about all the problems you're having! I've only used an Xbox One S and an Xbox 360 controller. However, the analog stick isn't used for the menu selection. You'll need to use D-Pad for menus, but you can use D-Pad or analog for the game. There isn't an option to quit the game from the option menu, but I will keep that in mind for the future. I will double check the download file. Thank you for your interest in my game and for your feedback!
