Anyone else think that these are a really bad idea?
Normally in a shoot em up you know that when you get hit you will die. This creates a tension.
In shoot em ups where you have an energy bar what you notice is your energy bar being gradually eroded. The problem is that it's not always obvious where you lose the energy, so you end up feeling "cheated"
Examples I've played recently: Mercs and 194x series.
