Are there any bullet hell shooters in Linux?

sonicbhoc

Just so you know, a bullet hell shooter, aka curtain fire, is a shooter with a billion bullets on the screen, and you have only one part of you that can be damaged. They are usually extremely fast paced and difficult. I know of a couple in Windows, but I was just wondering if anybody knows if these games exist for Linux somewhere.

I dont even know what you're talking about.

Show the examples from Windows so we can get an idea of what you're looking for.

I've never heard of any games like that in Linux. Have you tried to launch the Windows ones in wine?

If you own some Touhou games, here is a guide to launch them in Linux with Wine/Cedega:

(by the way, thanks to this thread I finally found out what Touhou was, until now I've always thought it was a company that made hentai games :oops:

All of Kenta Cho's games are in linux apparently...

Anyone else got any ideas? And my PC lags whenever I play Touhou games or Project:Starfighter.

You say 'all' of his games. I couldn't find Tumiki Fighters. It looks like a great game. rRootage, by the way, is incredibly fun. Still can't figure out what 'psi' or 'psy' mode is, though.

Oops, meant to say they're all in linux... my bad, I typed that really late at night... I'd love to see something like Zun/Shanghai Alice's games in Linux.

in rrootage psy mode refers to the game psyvariar, which it borrows the whole buzz system from. in psyvariar and in this mode you spin your ship and let the bullets graze you to level up. when you level up in rrootage you become invincible for a short period of time, which you'll need for getting out of tight spots. your actual firepower or ship does not level up though
tumiki fighters isn't in portage, but you can get it via its sourceforge page. it's definitely one of my favorites, it's a cross between progear (another awesome shooter, its scoring system can take some time to get used to) and katamari damacy, the more ships you pick and hold onto the harder the game gets.
my all time favorite is dodonpachi, which isn't native to linux but is very accurately emulated in mame (so-so in raine, if you can't run it in mame at a decent speed you should try this). in fact i don't even bother to play the game on my saturn anymore, so long as i use a saturn usb joypad (i'm a big fan of the saturn's dpad).
