driveshaft | 11 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 The HBPC was an absolute blast in 2018 on Nintendoage. I'm very excited to see something similar being revived here. (and I agree with Richardhead. If the previous competition was any indicator, Red is already a heavy favorite haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausden | 323 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Glad to see another year of the Homebrew competition. Last year was great and based on the game line up for this event; this should be great as well. Thanks for putting this together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloves | 11,777 Administrator · Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Nice, Shmup Speed got the most participants. Clearly it is thus, the best game. There's really no arguing about it, the pudding is in the puddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you need to make a sequel, maybe maintaining a certain level of presses per second during boss fights increases the power of your weapons or reduces the damage you take.
