Here we go! c/shmups’ first ever game of the month is Mushihimesama, by Cave.

It’s most accessible on Steam, but if you’ve got a copy on Switch (now deslisted from the eshop), Xbox 360, or PS2, we’ll take all versions. (Even emulation, but due to legal issues, we won’t be able to directly assist with that.)

So let’s go for it! This is meant to be fun and casual, so don’t worry about getting top rank, just do your best!

Progress posts, score posts – all Mushihimesama content is welcome and encouraged! Let’s us know how the grind is going! Share strats and routes! Ask your fellow shmuppers for help or encouragement.

Top scores and 1CCs in each category (Novice, 1.5, Black Label, etc.) will be decided on April 31st, and featured in the sidebar

And now, ladies and gentlemen, the beetles!
