Shmup training program

[flan_man]

I noticed that some of the folks at the shmups.com forums are using a little program that similates the bullet patterns from the most manic shmups out there, including the ones from the Cave games.

Link to the website that contains the program:
shinh.skr.jp/sdmkun/

Download (the current version is 1.5.7), unzip, and run the sdmkun exe. The program then asks you to insert a name, which you can do with the arrow keys and "z" as the confirmation button.

It's in Japanese by default, but the fifth option takes you to the config screen, where you can turn english on. That will make everything a bit easier.

It's manic. Even those simple patterns will take time to master.

Cool. Although I still don't think it can prepare me for Mushihime sama I'm gonna try to one credit that on ultra with lots of practice.

Bloody hell, some of those patterns are tough! I think I am in need of some serious practice!
