Contlade (55.2mb, made by Zakichi, ver1.02, updated 24/05/2010, no install .zip) is a great Japanese SHMUP. Don't let the old style graphics fool you as it actually plays very well with nice retro style graphics and sound effects. For anyone that likes their shoot'em ups, I suggest you check it out. The game was made with Shooting Game Builder and is in English, has level bosses and powerups as you would expect. It's two thumbs up from me.
