Welcome to the weekend! Here's this week's open thread, so feel free to talk about anything that strikes your fancy, shmup related or not!
I just watched Aktane's 1cc of "Paro Paro" which is a doujin tribute to Parodius, and it's available for free here. I haven't played it myself yet, but it looks pretty good! (At least good enough to make it the cover image for this week's thread.)
I spent some time with Bullet Soul: Infinite Burst this week, and I'm liking it so far! Burst mode is definitely the way to go, for me.
So, what's everyone up to? Play anything interesting lately?
