Shmup Ascension
50pp manual on shmup playing technique.
ABOUT
Shmup Ascension, a short self-published manual on how to play shooting games well, written by Dace Anaxyrus and issued through Anaxyrus Publishing in 2020. It runs about 50 pages.
Rather than covering any single game, it addresses the player: dissolving the habits that hold progress back, how to practice for reliable results, the importance of knowing the specific game being learned, spotting advantages and becoming more resourceful, and what reaching the top of a leaderboard takes.
It belongs to a very small shelf of English books on shmup technique as a discipline, closer to a training pamphlet than to the genre histories that make up most Western shmup publishing.
CONTENTS
- Dissolving the habits that hold you back
- How to practice for reliable results
- Knowing your shmup
- Spotting advantages and becoming resourceful
- Reaching the top of the leaderboards
