3	''Blue Wish Resurrection'' is a doujin [[FreewareGames freeware]] [[VerticalScrollingShooter vertical-scrolling]] BulletHell ShootEmUp developed by x.x. Game Room and released in 2006. It is the [[SequelDisplacement sequel]] to ''Blue Wish''.
4
5	The gameplay is your typical bread-and-butter BulletHell game, with three levels of difficulty ([[IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels Heaven, Original, and Hell]]) and two different ships, [[TitleDrop Blue Wish]] and Blue Hope. An additional ship, Blue Peace, can be unlocked by completing Heaven difficulty or higher on one credit.

7	However, BWR is a bit on the NintendoHard side, being a BulletHell shooter with no slowdown whatsoever, meaning that you have to dodge everything at full speed even if there are more bullets on screen than there is empty space.
8
9	A second version of the game, ''Blue Wish Resurrection Plus'', was released in 2008 and features all ships available to play as well as the [[GuestFighter Eden's Edge]], a new soundtrack, and {{Palette Swap}}s of the five stages. It also has a number of adjustments that make it easier for new players, such as more [[Every10000Points extends]] and deliberate slowdown when there are excessive bullets on screen. As such, some players have taken to calling it a good beginner's shmup.
10
11	You can download BWR and BWR+ from x.x.'s itch.io [[https://xxgameroom.itch.io here]].
12
13	A sequel, ''Blue Wish Desire'', was released in October 2021 [[https://xxgameroom.booth.pm/items/3346770 on x.x.'s Booth page]]. It was later released on Platform/{{Steam}} in November 2021.

15	----
16	!!''Blue Wish Resurrection'' contains exampes of the following:
17	* AutobotsRockOut: The true final boss theme of ''Plus''.
18	* BeehiveBarrier: Although the ship's shield is a simple sphere, the concept is referenced by the auto-guard symbol by composing it with hexagons.
19	%%* BulletHell
20	* Every10000Points: 4 million and 10 million in ''BWR'', and that's it. ''Plus'' has extended every 5 million, and there's no limit to how many extends you can get.
21	* HarderThanHard: The Accel mode, which causes bullets to accelerate. Originally a separate hidden difficulty in BWR, it was changed to an option in ''Plus''.
22	* HardModePerks: A minor variant -- If you finish the game with Auto-Guard off, you get 500,000 more points for each remaining life.
23	* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: Heaven, Original, Hell, and Accel.
24	* NintendoHard: Mostly the original ''BWR''. ''Plus'' introduces slowdown, which makes the bullets easier to dodge.
25	* NoPlotNoProblem
26	* OneHitPointWonder: This is a shoot 'em up, so it's par for the course. However, if you turn on Auto-Guard, your ship will automatically use a bomb, if any are in stock, to protect itself, so you can take at least 3 hits per life if you don't fire your bombs manually.
27	* PaletteSwap: ''Plus'' changes the colors of the stages. In addition, in either version, you can play as a green (BWR) or red (''Plus'') version of your normally-blue ship by selecting with the bomb button. For Eden's Aegis though, pressing the bomb button gives you [[spoiler: Eve]], its human version as in the game [[spoiler: she]] origially came from, ''Eden's Edge'' and its sequel, ''Eden's Aegis''.
28	* ShoutOut: Possibly, [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Heaven Or(ginal) Hell]].
29	* SmartBomb: Three variants:
30	** A spherical bomb that damages everything in its radius and provides several seconds of invincibility.
31	** A laser bomb that turns all on-screen bullets into 100-point items, then does tremendous damage to enemies that are in contact with the alser.
32	** The Auto-Guard shield, activated by taking a hit while having a bomb in stock, but only if Guard is enabled in the Options menu. It will deplete your item counter if used, unlike the other two bombs.
33	* SpreadShot: Blue Wish has this as its standard shot. Blue Hope too, but to a lesser extent.
34	* TrueFinalBoss: One at the end of Hell mode, reached by completing Hell on one credit. In the updated version, it may also be engaged in the stage select screen.
35	* UpdatedRerelease: Blue Wish Resurrection Plus, which adds a third ship, adds intentional slowdowns in certain situations to make things easier to see through dense bullet patters, and changes up the mechanics from the original.
