Shikhondo Series Games? (self.shmups)

Is anyone aware of a list of the Shikhondo games? I was familiar with Soul Eater but today I found this trailer for Red Purgatory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_sb_PpI-eE

I also found a Steam release from this April for Youkai Rampage, which I didn't know existed: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2712480/Shikhondo_Youkai_Rampage/

Has DeerFarm produced more in the series? It's such a unique take on the genre.

Quick followup, I just played part of the Youkai Rampage demo from Steam and it was a pretty good experience. I seem to remember the enemies being a little more vivid on the PS4 but the controls feel responsive. The only issue I had was the first boss:

it seems to be the same boss from the first game.

I quit playing after that because I ran out of time. I'll continue to work through the demo and see how I like it before I decide to make a purchase. I do wish it were available on the Xbox. I have Soul Eater on my PS4 but I play the Xbox much more often.
