SUGURI

Overview

Designed by Orange_Juice and sold as a PC doujin title at Comiket 69 SUGURI was later published by Rockin' Android for NA release. SUGURI is a side scrolling shooter with a Match mode that led to two PC/PS3 fighting game styled shooters, Acceleration Of SUGURI and Acceleration Of SUGURI 2. SUGURI also has a PC spiritual successor called SORA that retains a more traditional bullet hell format with an expanded Match mode that reflects the Acceleration games.
