[This upload has a lower-octave melody than the normal one, I didn't know if the higher pitched one would bug folks so I'm giving people the option!]
Original song by Masahiro Yuge!

So recently I've been playing a lot of shmup games by Toaplan thanks to Bitwave Games publishing them on steam! I think most folks would know Toaplan for making Zero Wing, the funni ALL YOUR BASE game..but they've got a whole lot of pretty cool stuff, and THIS game definitely stood out! It's got the same kinda rules as Gradius, with the power bar and the mini ships following you, but everything feels wayy more intense from the start, and this song, the boss theme, is definitely my favorite part. Might be because Toaplan games don't usually give very much fanfare to their bosses, a shame cuz boss fights are often the thing I look forward to the most in games! I haven't gotten far into the game yet myself, but with a soundtrack like this I'm DEFINITELY going to keep on playing it!
