R-Gear: Tribute to R-Type Released

Posted Aug 20, 2006 at 9:17AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Homebrew Games Tags: animation, Neoflash, PS2, psp homebrew games, r-type

Froggies Prods and TiTAN Handheld Division have released their entry for the Neoflash competition today with a tribute to the popular PS2 title R-Type. R-Type is a fast-paced side scrolling space shooter and is exactly what you can expect from R-Gear, the homebrew equivalent. Any fans of the good old R-Gear will love this, or for that mater any Space Invaders fans too. Who isn't a Space Invaders fan?

This game has taken a lot of effort from both Froggies Prods and the TiTAN Handheld Division and it shows in the quality of this game. The graphics, animation, explosions and sound effects are close to perfection. This is the kind of title you'd expect to buy, not to have for free! Download this, have endless fun - it's as simple as that.

Though the difficulty is insanely hard, everything else is top notch. I will be leaving this homebrew on my PSP... How about removing that coder contest thing from the start up though... getting annoying with every download.

I'm still laughing

great game, reminds me the good old school when people at Team 17 were still coding demos for the A500.

those days when people were able to squeeze a 7mhz machine, to the maximum, giving us good stuff all the time

happy memories of the old school... :)

# Amazing — qxz86 2006-08-20 12:53

This game is great for a first release. Simply awesome.

There are, however, still some kinks in it.

1. It's too hard. I'm no noob to SHMUPs, but this is just a crazy level of difficulty to start off with. It needs more variation in difficulty.

2. The time to restart after dying is inexcusable. I spend ten seconds in menus for every ten playing.

3. Lack of options.

Overall, it's frugging beautiful and well-done, though. Good job.

# not that bad — Guest 2006-08-20 13:24

good game... but it takes too long to get to the acutal game... and after you die it takes too long to get back in.... nice graffixs a bit hard and overall good game... is this the same guy that made a clone of pang for the psp?

# Difficulty.. — Dragoon 2006-08-20 13:33

Lots of people are complaining about the difficulty.. And I totally agree, WAY too hard.

I agree with #19: The menu's don't let you skip them, which pisses me off because I want to spend my time trying to get farther into the game, rather than looking at the menus for 30 seconds every time I die, however often it may be (And it's a lot).

Very cool none-the-less, but with the difficulty this high, I had to put it down.

# Error 80010002 — Guest 2006-08-20 14:04

I get an error when I run this on my v1.5 "This game could not be started (80010002)"

# IF THIS IS TO HARD FOR YOU THEN READ THIS — Guest 2006-08-20 14:25

Hold the L-Trigger for a Slow mo effect, slows down yourself and enermies by 50% and has infinate useage.

Though I do fine without it, Just get used to charging up your shots all the time and charging energy (seems to be the same thing buy u can move faster charging the other 1.

# advices — Guest 2006-08-20 14:39

im agrre with#19

i suggest :

add a continue

add a savegame

the back ground more detailed like clouds fast scrolling or battles of ships with missiles tracs like in robotech series

a friend ship cpu contolled

2 play with wifi

energy on ship : if hit it lose energy not immediately destroyed

# OMG — Guest 2006-08-20 14:41

This game is BOSS... omg just watching the splash at the beginning gives me goosebumps. This is probably the best homebrew game thus far... very professional.. great stuff. Hope to see more updates in the future..

# Looks good — Guest 2006-08-20 14:46

Looks good. Too bad R-Type didn't originally come from the PS2, it's much older than that. It came out like in the 1980's and there was even a SNES game. I think it was originally an arcade game.

Just sayin'...

# ... — Guest 2006-08-20 15:28

not working on my 1.5 psp. sometimes get the splash screen sometimes do not. Seems like a few others are having difficulty too.

# actually... — Guest 2006-08-20 15:45

not only did it not start it mongled my memory stick and i had to format it. Thanks for the waste of 15 minutes.

# u sure this game works? — Guest 2006-08-20 15:50

i had the same problem i dont kno it doesnt work for me!!!

i did wat i was supposed to do like all other homebrew re-installed it like twice .................i don kno its gay....

# game not working — Guest 2006-08-20 16:09

also not working on my 1.5 psp using harleyg custom firmware

# holy — imallama 2006-08-20 17:07

HOLY ***** THIS IS SICK.

# Guest 2006-08-20 17:55

BEST GAME EVAR!!!

# HARD — Guest 2006-08-20 19:06

this game is one of the best home brew games i've played but it's a little to hard. the lack of continues also sucks.

# Guest 2006-08-20 19:12

come on guys, it is hard but, no harder than something like gradius V on normal difficulty!

It's a brillant piece of homebrew, best i've seen in years!!!

Respect to the Devvers

# Beat the boss and then it's gameover — Guest 2006-08-20 22:37

I beat the boss and then you get gameover, and this game is very difficult. Tip hold down the L shoulder button to slow down the gameplay can be very useful.

# Guest 2006-08-20 22:40

This is fantastic, amazing for an homebrew game!

# Guest 2006-08-20 23:56

after contest screen psp turn off :(

# double check — Guest 2006-08-21 03:09

on my 1.5 i select game, screen turns black then psp turns off.. this sucks.. wanted to play it.. next release, if any, test it b4 releasing it to public.. lol.. j/k

# A few fixes... — Guest 2006-08-21 03:18

"Any fans of the good old R-TYPE will love this, or for that MATTER any Space Invaders fans too (perhaps AS WELL). Who isn't a Space Invaders fan?"

Looks fun, will get soon

# Looks good... — Guest 2006-08-21 06:45

... but it doesnt work on my 1.5 psp.

Hopefully a future release will address the problem for it not working for eveybody??

# thx all! — Guest 2006-08-21 07:51

expect some bugfixes soon :)

# too hard — Guest 2006-08-21 08:16

its looks good and all, but its way too hard to enjoy

# another v1.5 complaint — Guest 2006-08-21 08:57

Just to add to the others with v1.5 that could not play. It got to the warped contest screen, turned black and after several seconds shut down my psp.

is there a file that needs to be tweaked? Im sure that splash screen has something to do with it as it boots to that then makes another call to get to the game. perhaps a simple patch?

# THIS GAME LOOKS THE MUTZ... — Guest 2006-08-21 09:03

NUTZ!

...But it not work on my psp 1.5. :(

# 1.5 probs — Supermart 2006-08-21 11:58

It runs on my 1.5 and goes through the splash screen, nice touch over the other competion splash screens. Then goes through the video intros, comes to the game itself and black screen and power off. Hope the update is a bit more stable as what I have seen looks quality.

# way to *****ing hard — Guest 2006-08-21 14:02

way to *****ing hard

# difficult... — Guest 2006-08-21 22:20

... as *****k. i'm not agains hard pixel cosmic battles, but please - give us some warm up! ended up frustrated, watching too long game over/highscore sequence...

# I HOPE... — Guest 2006-08-21 23:30

The fix for some of us 1.5 PSPs comes soon. This game looks fookin amazing, just gutted it crashed every time.

# This game rocks — Guest 2006-09-03 07:08

I used to play this on the amiga back in the ol days, was always stuck on level 3 (the big moving ship)

its a hard game but use the left shoulder button to slow things down a tad.

This is the 1st homebrew title i have played and its a really polished game

# Guest 2006-09-11 14:50

Just like to add.

IS NOT A PS2 TITLE FFS LEARN SOME SODDING GAMING HISTORY.

Now that i got that off my chest.

The game is way to hard for home use,

yes i understand that its in respect of the original R-TYPE

But some sort of difficulty setting option, would of been a bit nicer

Or at least Continue options, i mean come on, this is a home brew game, not a arcade game that people have to put money into when they want to play again

Other than that, fu;ing good job, love it

Just wish you could skip the intro on start up, an you could get back into the game faster after you died
