Kamikaze Empire

Imagine if Nier Automata was a series of military girl comedy sketches, with all kinds of deep cut military hardware for you military otaku to laugh about. The main character is named after the kamikaze human-guided bomb, the Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka. Consider that this weapon was called the "Baka Bomb" by the Allied forces. It is a delightful game. Recommended.

Charming little shmup with a unique mechanic. getting a good chain going feels pretty good, with some polish i think this game could be really great, but for now its just pretty solid.

Game of the year candidate. The graphics are a bit ropey, mainly the anti-aliasing on sprite rotation, and the backgrounds could have done with another parallax layer and a bit more dynamism. I also felt like the levels could have been arranged into a more coherent structure, and a couple of the music tracks were a bit grating. However, the writing is surprisingly intelligent, the gameplay is original and fun, the character designs are cute, the use of dozens of weird historical weapon design is perfect for the theme, and the idea is just brilliant. I will watch this developer with great interest in the future.
