Neocrisis - Here is the Alpha gameplay for Rival Megagun which will be released towards the end of the year.

Dragonward, Slipstream, RYM 9000, Rival Megagun, and Wonder Wickets are well worth the time of any gamer.

TSA writes: "For as long as shoot ’em up games have maintained their corner in the video game industry, they’ve almost always been solo affairs. From Space Invaders to Ikaruga and everything between, you rarely have additional players involved in the bullet mayhem. Many of these games experiment with hectic co-operative modes, sure, but it’s slim pickings if you want a bullet hell game where you actually fight another player. NEOGEO classic Twinkle Star Sprites is perhaps the one shining example of competitive, fighting game-esque shoot ’em up. Now, over 20 years later, Rival Megagun has arrived to rekindle that torch of competitive shooter excellence."

Rival Megagun is a competent shmup that throws in a competitive angle to test your skills directly against one another.
