Parsec47

It's nice from what I played, although so far I do think the other two were better. On the other hand it's small and free and from a talented shooter designer, so well worth checking out.

-edit- The problem with posting an early impression is that sometimes you don't give the game enough time to show you what it can do. I hadn't realized it has randomized enemy shot patterns, not to mention a good variety of them, so each game is a different experience. I hereby retract my "not as good" comment and put Parsec47 on the same lofty plane as Noiz2sa and rRootage.

awesome link, James. this guy has real talent. i'm surprised he doesn't have a job with cave or something..

Judging by the current popularity of the shmup, I'm guessing he wants a job that'll pay well.

I liked rRootage, so I'm gonna have to check this out.
