Shinorubi

Shinorubi is a vertical bullet-hell shooter set on the planet SHINORUBI. The BAÄA family has ruled the planet as despots for 1,000 years, controlling the “R-R” substance that grants its owners infinite power and exceptional longevity. For 150 years, King R.LOYD III and his six sons have waged war across space against the TRADDESS and ZOOGT empires, while his cruel daughter Nemesis and five generals guard the planet. An alliance of eight experienced mercenaries seeks to end the family’s dictatorship and its control of R-R by exploiting a planetary singularity that occurs once every thousand years. As the endless night falls on the capital, Kaddin, spaceships approach.

Fight through the barrage

You pilot a spaceship, dodge enemy fire and destroy everything in your path. Only the very centre of your craft is vulnerable to bullets. Select one of three pilots and their spaceship, each with unique weapons and characteristics. The game is designed for widescreen monitors and includes different difficulty levels, arrange modes and online leaderboards.

Game modes

In Classic/Original Mode, clear all five levels with three starting lives to attempt a 1CC (credit clear). You can add a few credits to help finish the game. Five difficulty levels are available, including an easy setting with auto-bomb or a setting where destroying a shooter cancels its bullets.

Boss Rush Mode lets you fight only bosses, with three difficulty levels. Arrange modes use the same levels as Classic Mode but change the rules:

• Shield: use a shield to protect against enemy bullets.
• Cancel: destroy marked spaceships to clear all shots on screen.
• Laser / Shot: alternate between laser and classic shots only when instructed.
• Journey: face a long run with several game loops.
• Pink Pig: collect pigs before they leave the screen while shooting enemies.
• Super Rank: the better you play, the higher the difficulty rises.

Scoring and FEVER

Your score depends on several parameters that provide point multipliers. Survive enemy fire, destroy enemies, collect stars and medals, and use as few bombs as possible. When the FEVER charge bar fills, it activates automatically, clearing enemy shots from the screen and improving your score. It also boosts your weapons and increases the bonus stars earned when you destroy enemies.

Scores and achievements

Each game mode has a worldwide leaderboard, alongside a personal leaderboard that records your scores per mode. The game also includes achievements.
