Rebellion on Shinorubi
The game is named after a planet that harbours a compound called ‘R-R’. This elusive substance grants its possessor infinite power and unparalleled longevity. For a millennium, the BAÄA family has ruthlessly ruled over Shinorubi and the coveted substance.
Shinorubi sees players lead the rebellion against the thousand-year reign of the BAÄA family. To do that you’ll have to manoeuvre your ship through a barrage of missiles and bullets, with only the centre of your ship vulnerable to enemy shots.
Your mission is clear: do not succumb to the relentless assault and dismantle the ruling BAÄA kingdom.

Game description
SHINORUBI is a Shoot’Em Up game rooted in the Bullet Hell, Danmaku, and Manic Shooter genres. In the universe, there is a compound that can only be found on one singular planet, SHINORUBI. The compound gives their owner infinite power and exceptional longevity via biological mutations; its name is “”R-R””. For a thousand years, the BAÄA family has ruled mercilessly over SHINORUBI and the “”R-R””. King R.LOYD III has six sons and a daughter. He and his sons left for war 150 years ago against the TRADDESS and ZOOGT empires, lightyears away from SHINORUBI. The kingdom was entrusted to five generals close to the royal family, under the command of the king’s only daughter: NEMEZIYA BAÄA. Night falls on KADDIN, the capital… The endless night before the solstice of BAÄA’s thousand-year rule. Eight mercenaries will try the impossible under cover of night: overthrow the kingdom.
