Friend of the site Curly Brace helps me take a look at Lethal League Blaze, a fighting game where you bounce a ball around the stage until it builds up time distorting levels of speed through your volleys.

In terms of shooter homage, Super Hydorah is definitely one of the top players. Its blend of arcade influences and tributes to games like Gradius, R-Type and Turrican is as meticulous as it was in the original Hydorah release, and it continues play as well after its move to the Switch. What’s new in the Switch version is the addition of some quality of life features, like boss health bars, and the Rookie Pilot difficulty mode (both of which have been patched into the PC version now). These are small changes, but they make a huge difference in enjoying Super Hydorah.

Note this is the mobile version review of Pianista, the Nintendo Switch version will come at a later date.
