We’re planning to release an Earthion update soon, which will fix bugs such as ranking display errors (enemy defeat count) and issues related to achievements.
We’re sorry, but this will require a one-time reset of the rankings.

Sega made an arcade game called The Ocean Hunter in 1998. It was never ported for home consoles or PC, but Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has a fully playable port in it! Would be fun if they did a standalone realease or include it in a collection one day 🦈

Konami made a different kind of shmup in 1989: a dedicated Gradius handheld LCD game. The player takes control of the Vic Viper space fighter in a mission to defend Planet Gradius from the invading forces of the Bacterian Empire.

Hello, Shmuposphere!

Due to copyright issues with the music from one of the devs, I was "kindly requested" to remove their trailer from the Drops...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
