Advent of Shmup (jlai.lu)

This morning my son started his advent calendar.

My wife said to him, "it's too bad they don't make a Pew Pew Advent Calendar for your father!"

It is, indeed, too bad...

If there were such a thing, what games should there be in a Shmup advent calendar, keeping in mind that Advent calendars are not all winners? There should be a mix of old, new, mediocre, and good.

Not sure which shmups, but definitely short levels from each shmup to accommodate how busy people are around the holidays. You can expand and play more if you want to, but each day is only a level. I'd ascend in difficulty as the days go by and compensate by decreasing level length (e.g. the first day is a longer level you can beat on the first try, the 20th is a shorter level people would probably need to retry a lot).
