I love these games so much that I developed a shooting game called "VARYZNEX" inspired by them.
Currently on sale on Steam (-40%)

Final boss fight from Zakesta-Z on Hard (vZogen) difficulty earlier today 😊

I usually die multiple times during this fight and can't believe I only got hit once here.

If it's not the sword closing on me, it's usually those green squares that appear. So many things to pay attention to.

VARYZNEX is a 2D shooter that's been out for exactly one year and is currently on sale.
There's also a bundle containing all three games, which is an even better deal.

You can now compete for scores in the online rankings. The visible area of ​​the screen has also been widened, and the game balance has been readjusted, such as increasing the attack power of weaker units. The music has also been changed. The basic level structure is the same as the free version.

Zakichi's games are always an easy recommendation for anyone who likes STGs. Check Kaikan too which is a personal top 10 pick in the genre.

VARYZNEX on Steam classical horizontal scroll 2D Shmup

2025 was a very good year for shmups imo. There were quite a number of notable releases (in particular order), but here are the 6 that I enjoyed the most:

1) Varyznex is actually a remake of Vastynex which is a Thunder Force homage and if anyone knows me, they know I LOVE Thunder Force

The light blue gauge doublehyper and shield, and after hyper is activated, energy is accumulated in the yellow gauge above it.
When you finish Hyper without using DoubleHyper, the yellow gauge will be added to the light blue gauge as is.
Star items will return to energy items after doublehyper ends.

ver.1.0.1
ハイパー発動直後に3秒間無敵時間が発生するよう変更。

3面ボスが高速移動した時に残像が発生するよう変更。
(残像は防御判定を持ちそのダメージはボスに加算される。プレイヤー側への攻撃判定はなし)

※今回の更新で以前のバージョンのリプレイとは整合性が取れなくなります。
