Games

[edit]

Exzeal

[edit]
Exzeal

Exzeal follows a similar formula to Trizeal in which players progress through the stages and destroy the bosses respectively. However, the weapon power-up system from Trizeal was replaced by the special fixed-weapon system, with a standard attack and a charged attack that can destroy single large enemies once. The player can choose from one of the four weapon sets during the start, with one mimicking the attack pattern of XII Stag.

The game was later rereleased as a standalone game on Steam in 2016.

Shmups Skill Test

[edit]

Shmups Skill Test modes include: 1-player test, favorite game practice, 2-player versus modes, and 4-player versus.

1-player test includes 10 sets of stages for a total of 20 stages. At the end of the test, the player's result is judged by 6 categories, with final evaluations of the shop average score, the player's final test score, player's gamer age. 2-player versus includes 3 stage types.

Favorite game practice allows players to choose 5 practice stages from 16 available stages within 1 credit, with hidden score attack and score attack mix modes. After completing the hidden score attack or score attack mix mode, a password is shown to allow player to register the game result through the game's Internet ranking site.

4-player versus modes (from Shooting Love. 200X) is a 4-player variant of the promotion game title Shooting Love. 8,[5] and adds a test category.

Minus Zero

[edit]

Minus Zero is an endless shooter with abstract characters. Similar to the other games featured in this compilation, it includes replay saves and playback, and online leaderboards.

Trizeal Remix
