Graze Counter GM is a bullet hell doujin shmup developed by Bikkuri Software and published by Henteko Doujin/Sanuk Inc. at the beginning of 2023 on Steam, Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. This is an expanded version of the original Graze Counter that was released on Steam several years ago, with new ships and modes included.

The gameplay is a cross between the grazing gameplay of Psyvariar and the Castle Shikigami series with bullet hell shmups like Crimzon Clover. You can graze bullets to build up your Graze Counter, which allows you to activate a laser shot that cancels bullets and builds up your Break meter, which functions similarly to Crimzon Clover's break system when filled up and activated.

As far as the runs goes, this game is mostly really easy outside of the Stage 3 Boss and the last boss battles on Stage 5. This run was mostly a cakewalk until the end of Stage 5 despite it being my second full run playing it. The last two boss battles almost killed my run, as I lost several lives and was down to my last one once I finished. I still need to learn those patterns better, though I have started to get better after this run. Also, I didn't realize until after filming this that you can go in between the power-up pickups to grab all three like in Cho Ren Sha.

The Type 3 ship feels like a homage to the classic Raiden ship, as it has slow movement, wide spread, and even a similar sprite. It is very good for grazing but not so good for certain boss battles that require some quick reaction times to dodge certain attacks.
