SHINORUBI is a colorful top-down bullet-hell space shooter in the tradition of Danmaku arcade games. SHINORUBI offers great replayability thanks to its many modes and arrange modes, a great soundtrack, and high-resolution graphics.

You play as a mercenary pilot in the epic raid to free the planet Shinorubi from the despotic BAÄA family.

If you are hit, you are dead! Destroy numerous enemies including powerful bosses as you dodge the mass of bullets aiming at you. Use different shots, bombs, and the fever bar to help you clean the screen from foes, and collect various items to increase your score.

Playable with a keyboard, a joystick, and a customizable arcade controller, Shinorubi offers up to 4K resolution and very responsive controls.

Modes and Arrange Modes

In addition to classic modes and challenges such as the 1CC challenge (credit clear) in the story mode, or the Boss Fights mode, SHINORUBI offers a lot of arrange modes: Same levels but different rules. Have fun and take on new challenges by shooting pink space pigs, alternating your shot types to defeat your enemies, going on an endless loop raid, and much more to enjoy.
