RefleX is a Japanese doujinsoft game, a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up. I'm not sure I'd call it a Bullet Hell™ game, but it's close in places. You can kill enemies in a few ways. 1. You can shoot them with your guns. (Duh!) 2. You can also reflect beam attacks at them with your shield, which also absorbs any bullets it doesn't reflect, although it cannot do anything against missiles. 2a. At full charge, you have approximately 5 seconds of shield. 3. Your shield also determines the power of your guns; the less power your shield has remaining, the weaker your guns are. 4. The shield, while it takes about the same about of time to recharge as it does to deplete, will not charge while you are shooting. 5. You also cannot shoot while using the shield. Unfortunately, this game crashes in Hourglass r81, after having installed it using AppLocale. But it would be really cool to see done in the future.

I used to play Reflection, the original version of RefleX. You can download this game for free from http://www.enterbrain.co.jp/digifami/conpark/zyusyou/1997_11.html. I confirmed this game works in Hourglass r81, though this game is for Windows 95.

being an autoscroller is a bad sign for TASing generally. But boosting the difficulty to inhuman levels through your actions can make things interesting.

I think he means something spectacular like Gradius.
