This one? TFV was a huge inspiration and the name of this project before it had an official name was NTF (Not Thunder Force)
oh! I got it, then. I can see the similarities in the gameplay. The ship does look different enough though. Thunder Force is super underrated, glad people still show it some love even though they haven’t released a new one since the PS2 💀
