Gaming never knew there is a great vertical SHMUP on GBA

[test84]

I was searching for Space Invaders in my GBA collection to test it then I found Invaders, so I just clicked it out of boredom and voila!
its great, hope someone could recommend it back in 6 months ago that I was obsessed with vertical shooters on handheld.

recommended to anyone who is not satisfied with Nanostray and wants a Raptor-like game.

Homebrew, damn hard and very good. There are a couple of other homebrew titles of the genre too.

Keep on going through http://www.pdroms.de/files/gameboyadvance/Games/?page=14 and you will start dragging them up.

remember you also have Time Ace on the DS.

the two Iridion games on the gba are also fine... I'm not into shmups as much as I used to.

BulletGBA is, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest GBA homebrews, and probably wouldn't be tied for best if it weren't for PocketNES.

i always recommend iridion 2. i really enjoy that game.

i'll definitely check out invader though - the gameplay video on youtube looks decent. http://youtube.com/watch?v=oxzhL754nwA
