This month's voting led to another tie, so I picked the final winner which is... Gunvein by the folks at NGDEV! It's available on PC and the Nintendo Switch.

There's 1cc mode, score attack, and challenge modes, and a great practice mode.

How to participate

Leave a comment in this post with your questions, tips and tricks, howls of frustration, whoops of triumph, scores, 1cc's -- and at the end of the month, medals will be awarded to top players! (But in my book, all participants are winners!)

Happy shmuping!

It's been a good little while since I played GunVein, so I decided to hit up the Score Attack 1 challenge, just to de-rust. Did not do so well... maybe it's been longer than I thought!
