Ikaruga

Like Chopper I, Ikaruga is a masterclass in bullet-hell shoot 'em up design, demanding pixel-perfect dodging and strategic enemy engagement, but adds a unique polarity-switching mechanic that deepens the challenge.

While shifting from a vertical scroller to a top-down twin-stick shooter, Enter the Gungeon captures the bullet-hell intensity and challenging action of Chopper I, but layers on roguelike progression and an arsenal of quirky weapons.
