I truly don't understand the attachment to high player mobility in Bmups
1. It's not a big source of depth with physics and 3D space
2. "Where will the player be?" Is already a complicated enough balancing affair
3. The actual playstyle it produces is lame

Great example of why you want to heavily limit players mobility in a Beat 'em Up

I dont think Arcade/Permadeath games ruin campaign games in the traditional way where you really cannot touch them at all
But it does ruin them in the sense that you now have this hole and flaw you notice, which dampens the experience

My shmup gameplay when sleep deprived for no logical reason:
Exit spawns, with a sweaty brow I rush, expertly turning corners and gunning down bots
3 ft away from the exit, gold block spawns...
"just three shots, more score, it won't even be a second..."
Greed wins, enemies surround, I lose
Go Play Boghogs new game: Caramel Action!
3 ft away from the exit, gold block spawns...

Put some finishing touches & released my Elevator Action/Rolling Bird inspired game :
boghog.itch.io/caramel-acti...
You can play it in your browser
Though I'd recommend getting the desktop ver since the browser version is funky

Youtube is so strange
There is a homie that goes by @ florida_sucks that is quite literally my TOP commenter, and for some reason YT hides their comments and forces me to go through obtuse interfaces to interact
Why are you filtering my top viewers without asking me?

Maybe 2026 will be the year when arcade devs finally realize that smoothly escalating difficulty curves & introductory levels shouldn't be in arcade games anymore because there's no practical reason to have them. If there's anything truly & actually outdated about arcade games, it's that
