Birdcage is out on console now!

First impressions:

I played for about an hour. It is hard but I’ll figure it out. I like the mechanics, but I’ll need to try a different button mapping or different controller if I want to get anywhere.

Nice visual style and cool music. I played on Switch, it is very responsive. I did turn off the scanlines, flashes, and shaking even though it looks great, it is too much for the moment. Once you get certain sections memorized, it feels great to zip through them. Not sure how scoring and chaining really work, but based on how awful I am I’ll focus on survival and try and get through story mode before attempting anything serious.

    Cleared arcade mode on easy today. I’ll probably stick with this one for a bit and clear the other modes.

      No. It is a regular 6-stage shmup with mid and final bosses and a sword mechanic, bullet patterns, grazing, score chaining, etc. It came out last year on Steam.
