We're live from Escape Portal with the first week of Eschatos for the Perth Shmup Club monthly leaderboard! twitch.tv/perthironkingarena

Shooting games are happening at fighting game locals

Here's the full leaderboard and score tracking chart for the Perth Shmup Club Guwange month.

Here's the Guwange top 8 from the Perth Shmup Club leaderboard for June 2026! @heavyviper.bsky.social has won free entry to the next Friday Night Fights (@pika-oce.bsky.social). That's $10 value, wow! Aurum had the most improved score (+586%). The game for July is Eschatos.

I can't stop thinking about the guy hitting a clip in dig dug

New Guwange PB! (Shishin, Stage 4) Streamed for posterity, no audio, because i forgot to untick a setting. Proud of this run, as always, could have gone much better, but it is what it is! Really really fun game, gonna miss running this one www.twitch.tv/videos/28064...

Thrilled to have a track featured on this one 🍛 Have your stone weights and ninja stars at the ready!!

@fuckyoubaker.bsky.social cheers!

Todays build is for DonutsFrosted ! It’s an expansion on my 6 button layout, with an additional L/D/R button set. It’s also the first time I’ve worked with a HelpMe lever, I was quite impressed with it for its price. Thank you for believing!

Marvel Prerelease was a lot of fun. Turns out having your deck be Doctor Doom plus 10 removal spells is very good.

Is it three weeks till BAM? ^_^ CouchWarriors gives away one of my sticks every year as a door prize. This is in conjunction with @cqbarcade.bsky.social who provided the buttons/stick. Koalakuma artwork by @thechamba.bsky.social Other little bits and pieces to come. I hope to see you there!

I own roughly 100 records as of 2026, and I don't often get to gush about them. So randomly, when I feel like it, I'm going to generate a number between 1 and 100, then pick that record and do a show and tell.

Please support!!!!!!!!!!!

So far my favourite part of this months game is the collective effort of our community to figure out the high score glyphs
