Ikaruga is a vertical scrolling shooter developed by Treasure, renowned for their innovative design in titles such as Radiant Silvergun and Gunstar Heroes .

The GameCube release is particularly notable for its graphical fidelity and the implementation of a unique "Double Play" mode, which utilized the controller's rumble feature to distinguish between Player 1 and Player 2 control inputs.
