I can tell I would hate this game based solely on the inertia of the ship when you change direction. That was one of the biggest reasons, but far from the only reason, I hate A Space Shooter for 2 Bucks! on PSN. Shmups that have that feel sloppy and imprecise.
If you like the music in this then check out DJ Scotch Egg

:) Aleksi Eeben (aka HeatBeat) and Jonne Valtonen (aka Purple Motion) did the music for this game. Both of them are fantastic musicians.

@s3rris I have to agree. They got an awful lot out of the humble GBC, that's for sure!

This music sounds like it's coming from a C64.
Swiv is another western shmup on the GBC, based on the Amiga game.

@shaurz Hm, sounds like something I'll have to check into. Yeah, the sound feels decidedly "un-game boy", but it works well.

@usagi704 This would be a case where presentation saves the day. On the other hand, it's far from unplayable, once you get the feel for the inertia.
That and it's fairly uncommon.
