Suwako no Danmaku Pyonpyon Daisansaku and its sucessor Suwako-chan Cubic are shmup fangames with a twist on the formula. True to her status as a "frog", this game has a jumping mechanic, which literally adds a new dimension to the danmaku in this game. It also is very beginner-friendly due to its laundly list of difficulty-reducing features: - A rechargeable shield that lets you take a free hit every now and then. Shield recharge can be sped up with point items after stage 2.
- An autobomb. Get hit while unshielded and you'll bomb automatically, but this uses up all your stock.
- Extra lives given by the bushel. Simply collect enough point items.
- Failing all of that, the game offers a Very Easy difficulty.
It's not just beginner-accessible, either; the skilled players get rewarded for playing on Lunatic or accomplishing a certain optional something somewhere in the main game.

Finally, unlike almost all fangames, these have gotten freeware releases! Get Suwapyon 1 from here and get Suwapyon 2 HD here.
SP2 got an HD free rerelease, with proper widescreen support and other fixes, as such it is the recommended version.

Pointing out that Suwapyon 2 also got a Oculus Rift port with a partial english translation. Also this game is the cutest thing ever. I mean just look at it. It's so cuteeeee~ Also I've got some 1ccs on this game, so fun stuff. Also here's some translation in images, taken from a MotK thread. Credits go to Nwodatek:

I couldn't never get around the isometric camera on the first one :/. But the second one is great, with a lot of difficulty levels so every player can enjoy it (from the really easygoing "Very Easy" mode to the truly insane "Four Dimensions" mode). Something that Angel didn't tell is the fact that the last two difficulties have to be unlocked, you unlock Ultra by 1cc'ing Lunatic and you unlock Four Dimensions by 1cc'ing Ultra. More info about the game (spoiler): There's also a TLB (TTLB on 4D mode) that you can fight by killing the book on Stage 3, doing this not only makes the TLB appear at the end of Stage 6, but also makes the Stage 3 boss and the Stage 4 midboss (and the stage part before that also I think?). The TLB only appears on Normal or above, and on Four Dimensions you have to fight both the TLB and the TTLB if you kill the book. Got both a Ultra 1cc and a 4D 1cc on it.

Do we have an EN release? The version you linked is only in Japanese and my reading skills aren't the best ><

I knew that, I was trying to withdraw spoilers to keep the experience more fresh, but you had to go and spill the beans... >_< Unfortunately not, you're gonna have to make do with the gameplay translation.

I can hide it on a spoiler you want to, tho.

Just spoiler it away. And don't worry, it's no big deal.
