Iframely VS RayStorm

• “No code”
  Instead of API calls, an option to use our HTML template and some JavaScript spice.
• JSON
  Only two endpoints to choose from and connect: complete Iframely data or a simple oEmbed connector. Both have the html field for you to embed.
• Cards and URLs previews
  Engage your users with URL preview cards, just like they expect in a modern app. Change cards design easily in your settings.
• React and JavaScript
  React, and other JavaScript runtimes won’t let you run third-party scripts. Iframely fixes this by hosting media in an iFrame instead.
• Responsive embed codes
  Rich media will resize and fit your site’s design on any device, with a correct aspect ratio or a horizontal height.

• Striking 3D visuals
  RayStorm (1996) was one of the first shmups to use fully polygonal 3D graphics, with dynamic camera angles, impressive lock-on laser effects and detailed boss designs that still look distinctive today.
• Innovative lock-on mechanic
  The signature lock-on laser system lets players target multiple enemies on different depth planes at once, adding strategic depth and a satisfying risk-reward layer beyond standard shooting.
• Strong soundtrack
  The techno and electronic soundtrack by Taito's Zuntata sound team is energetic and memorable, and fits the sci-fi atmosphere and fast pacing of the game.
• Replayability
  Multiple selectable ships with different weapon behaviors, score-chasing incentives, and a branching risk/reward approach to scoring encourage repeated playthroughs and mastery.
• Accessible ports and legacy
  The game has been ported to PlayStation, PC and later compilations (such as RayForce/Layer Section series collections and R-Gear/Ray series re-releases), making it available to modern players, and it is well regarded by the shmup community.

Possible disadvantages

• Short length
  The game can be completed in under 30 minutes, with only a handful of stages, so players who are not interested in score chasing may find the content thin.
• Steep difficulty
  Dense bullet patterns, tricky boss fights and limited continues on higher difficulties can be punishing for newcomers to the shoot-'em-up genre.
• Dated graphics
  Early polygonal 3D models and low-resolution textures look blocky by modern standards, particularly in the original console ports when displayed on modern screens.
• Depth perception issues
  The 3D camera and overlapping lock-on targets can make it hard to judge enemy positions and incoming bullets, sometimes causing unfair-feeling deaths.
• Availability and port quality
  Official availability varies by region and platform, and some ports lack features, have inconsistent performance, or are hard to find at reasonable prices. Also, the Taito website itself is a corporate site rather than a dedicated store or guide for the game.
