What are some fun shmups with point-blank mechanics? Weapon number 2 from Axelay and the laser from Donpachi is what I'm looking for. Gradius when firing up close with options also applies.

So.... Any game with a spread shot type? There's an absolute TON of those.

Name some good ones. Usually the spread shot isn't even the strongest weapon.

Contra NES.

Ketsui is point blanking the game
>>
>>3237774
only partially, it has times when you should be point blanking and times when you need to fall back

Mushi Futari Black Label in Original Mode really is point blanking: the game, but it's not retro
>>
Raiden's vulcan spread up close is stronger than blue or purple lasers.
>>
Thunder Cross 2 is OK. Somewhat of a Gradius clone. The dual forward and reverse laser is the best weapon.

Ikaruga.

Are all Treasurebabbies this dumb?

The metal slug games? Not sure if that counts.

If it does then sin and punishment too.
