.Decluster & .Decluster Zero Reviews

Older works of the developer, finally brought to PC platforms in its original form. - .Decluster I like this game. For what I can assume is the first shmup the developer has made, I don't think I could make something this good, but as a player with retrospective of many shmups I've played, this one didn't age quite well in my opinion. Cancelling bullets is fun. Enemies are a little too hard to kill. Some stage design is clunky and not very well telegraphed or communicated with the player. I feel like the game shackles its own potential until the last stage of the game, where the core experience of the game truly shines. - .Decluster Zero Now this game truly stands the test of time for me. I do come back to play this version of the game occasionally, where the stage design is so much nicer and the bullet cancelling mechanic is oh so wonderful. Some bosses do feel frustrating to me but I feel like that's more of a "skill issue" on my part than the developer's fault. Games are art. Bullet hell is art. Play it.
