+Shimmers in the Stars was the production name of a game I was making with LÖVE[(0)][0] at
+the start of 2016. SITS aimed to provide a networked versus shooter experience in the
+vein of _Twinkle Star Sprites_[(1)][1][(2)][2] and Team Shanghai Alice's _Phantasmagoria_
+games[(3)][3][(4)][4]. Given the recent rise of small shop shoot'em ups and "bullet

+niche.

+Since then I've learned of Rival Megagun, announced in 2015 as Rival Star Hero and
+released late 2018[(10)][10][(11)][11], which blends elements of Change Air
+Blade[(12)][12] and the games mentioned above. It's exciting that there are others still
+interested in this space.
