The game was GG Aleste (the M2 release on Switch). I know it's hardly DDP DOJ lol, but it's actually the first shmup I've ever 1cc'ed, and I feel pretty good about it!

I could say I just causally cleared it this morning before work, but then again I have been playing versions of it off and on for the past decade or so! Letting myself switch sub-weapons was the eventual key to my success. Homing shot seems like a no-brainer, but sometimes you've got to lean on the shield when things get hectic.
