Thereās a moment when playing Cave shooters, when your eyes glaze over, and you are no longer looking at the ship you are piloting. You start following the bullets, and as you move yourself through space, you just know where you are.
Itās a bit like Luke Skywalker feeling the Force flowing through himself. And as far as arcade games go, itās my favorite experience.
Granted, it is possible to replicate that sensation at home on a console or PC. But on an iPhone? Are you bananas?
Caveās iPhone games have been hit-and-miss. Its latest effort, DoDonPachi Blissful Death, is nothing short of brilliant.
The gameās trailer looked totally bonkersāthe beautiful madness you expect from a Cave shooter. And from the few hours Iāve played with the game, itās delivered just that.

The gameās trailer looked utterly daunting. But Cave gives players the tools they need to enjoy the game. Though, I do wish the ābombā button was in a different location, as sometimes finding it feels fiddly. From what Iāve played, the rest seems solid.
Itās US $4.99, and if you like bullet hell shooters, this is worth checking out.
