As you all may remember, I really like shmups despite not being particularly good at them.  One that has been receiving a lot of love lately is Syder Arcade which is currently on a weeklong sale for the low, low price of $2.50.  I am here to tell you that this game is totally fantastic and worth every penny.  It's also on Linux.  There are only 4 ships but the gameplay is almost flawless for a shmup. 

10/10 - MUST BUY

No, co-op shmups are few and far between.

Found another great shmup. It's called Savant: Ascent and it's only $0.99 all this week!

So I played a bit of this game because steev gifted it to me (thanks steev) and I also think that it is a fun game. The campaign looks to be short but there's a survival mode and a bunch of harder difficulties so you can still get a lot out of the game. One thing I don't like though is that enemies and projectiles don't stick out very well against the (sweet-looking) backgrounds and that makes it hard to spot them before they hit you. I feel like if it weren't for that I'd be doing much better at the game.
