Storm Gear (vertical SHMUP)

Storm Gear (19.7mb, .zip no install) is a full on Japanese vertical shooter as most of them are but this one seems harder as there's not much of an area to move away from attacks, seems a bit cluttered. Apart from that gripe it's the usual shooting action with Boss levels.

There's also a detailed settings screen before you start the game although it's in Japanese. The only setting I was interested in was the resolution and window/non-window mode. See pic below. To set your resolution, click on the top middle button and select from the drop down menu.
