## A Historical Shmup
Crafted so that anyone can pick it up and enjoy it, Shmups Skill Test features
Triangle Service CEO Toshiaki Fujino’s nihilistic and surreal humour and
parodies guaranteed to put a smile on the face of any fan of the shmup genre.
The Steam version is based on the Shmups Skill Test included in the arcade
game Shooting Love 2007.

The arcade version is a long running hit, still to be found in arcades across
Japan, despite many of its peers from the same time (2007) having been long
removed. Its arcade sequel, included in Game Center Love. ~Plus Pengo!~, is
also still going strong.

Furthermore, despite having been developed as an “examination” or “training”
game, the versus play proved exciting enough to create the demand for
competitions being held, something of a rarity for a shooting game. The Steam
version takes this one step further, adding new tests (games) and the ability
to play with up to 4 players. You can also focus on practice with the newly
added ability to choose specific tests.

Of course, no shooting game would be complete without music. “Mr. Shooting
Love Sound”, NAOTO returns but he’s not alone. With him, we have two guests in
the form of Go Sato (of Raiden series fame) and WASi303 (from the Psyvariar
series).
