From the description:

Yo Shmupers, it’s Vinu! Today we’re talking about XeGrader plus, a new arcade shooter with light exploration and puzzle elements, created by Tokihiro Naito, one of the key people behind UndeadLine and the creator of Hydlide.

A pleasant summer surprise, with short stages, scoring, secrets to discover, and that real arcade flavor we love.

Looks fun! I'm working on getting some Steam shmups running on a Retroid Pocket 5, if I can get it to work satisfactorily, I may have to pick this one up!

Vinu is a good reviewer and player. He puts the games through the paces, does live tests, shows up on other channels, 1cc commentaries, the works. Great stuff.
