Shmup game suggestions?

Im trying to organize a video game raffle of shmup games. Anyone have some good suggestions? Particularly stuff either DRM free from places like itch or i can buy as a key so it’s easier to send out to winners.

Im also trying to avoid steam cuz i pay extra taxes there.

Here are a few on itch that I like quite a bit (gonna include some that aren’t just straight up hori/vert shooters):

Zeroranger
Hazelnut Hex
Satryn
Blue Revolver
Schildmaid MX
Risk System
Maiden & Spell

There are also loads of free ones that are great, but I’m pretty sure that’s not what you’re going for.

Tyrian 2000 on GOG is one of my favorite shootemup games

Hazelnut Hex and Blue Revolver were on my shortlist. Schildmaid is a fun game too.
