Bullet Hell Shmuptastic

I love this genre. Quick reflexes and small odds of survival. Very fun game. One of my favorite shooters. So much more fun with two players. Top-scrolling shooter, but with a twist. Change your color to change your polarity. When you're white, you get killed by black bullets, and can kill black enemies easier. And vice versa when you're black. And when you're one color, when you are hit by bullets of the same color, you gain what I like to call "laser juice" which you can build up and release in an awesome bomb attack, which clears many enemies around you. Very original.

Pros:
-Fun and addicting
-Fast paced
-Bullet Hell Shmups rock
-Co-op play is awesome

Cons:
-5 chapters...takes long to beat, but once you beat them, you want more

fantastic shooter

i love this game so much. antone who likes galaga or other games related to this will love it. the only thing i want to say is that if you really hate hard games or whine when you have to play one, don't buy this game. it requires frequent change of the color of your ship if you want to survive, and i have only got to the begining of the third level. i still think its a great game though because it seems like you just picked it up whenever you play it.

Hard game

There’s a slight learning curve to Ikaruga. It takes a few tries to get good with the color switching, and you’ll definitely need to be good at it when you get to the last levels - there are times where the screen is covered with both black and white bullets.
