I played it earlier (Xbone and Switch versions) and just got it for the third time for PS4.

I really like the game, it feels different and I like like the atmosphere, graphics, music etc. a lot. I haven't played the game a ton though, mainly because of couple issues with the Switch and XBone versions that made me decide to wait for those to get sorted out or I get the PS4 version, which looks to be just perfect. The game has to wait a bit longer though as I'm currently still focusing on ESPrade.

On normal difficulty, the pace is quite relaxing and might feel a bit too slow for experienced shmup players, who should focus on hard to get that arcade like experience.

As for the issues in the other versions, which I hope will get eventually fixed... For Switch, it's that 30fps, which results in higher input lag that makes the controls slippery, especially when using non-analog controls (and I play mostly with arcade stick). XBone version would be otherwise really nice, but it doesn't currently support arcade stick for xbox one (official one's at least, might work with brook board/converter though).

Thanks for the compliments Jonpachi! GJ on the normal 1CC and good luck with the hard mode :)

Thanks a lot for supporting us so much GFoyle! <3

BTW, I'm still working on getting the game running at 60FPS on Switch. I'll throw in a couple of bonuses even if I get it done. Last night I got the last part of the desert boss fight running at 60. This level so hard to optimize, but I'll get there!

Months of hard work but finally, it's coming on June 1st! The 60FPS patch for Pawarumi on Switch :)

Bonus: the game will have a new app icon, bugfixes and achievements, each of which will unlock an image in a gallery.

No date for European PSN yet. We're still waiting on Sony's backend upgrade...

Quite stunning with the 60fps framerate -- the developer said that he work an entire year on it to the get the framerate consistant & that it was hard work. Also, a picture gallery was added as well.

Thank you :)

DrLight66 is doing amazing runs on PS4! Did you guys watch his 65M ALL hard mode run? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZF-_6N68uw

He's aiming towards 70M now :)

Preorders for the Physical Switch Release have started on Play-Asia! :)

Limited edition: https://www.play-asia.com/pawarumi-defi ... /13/70doi7 (with soundtrack CD :D)
Standard edition: https://www.play-asia.com/pawarumi-defi ... /13/70doi5

If you wonder: it's called definition edition just to be clear that it already contains the 60FPS patch. If you have another edition or the Switch eShop version, don't worry, you're not missing anything :)

This game just went on sale on PSN - 35% off - for PS Plus subs.

Decided to pick it up and give it a try and it’s well worth the purchase. Weapon system sort of through me for a loop when they first teach you, but once you realize the visual cues during gameplay, it all clicked pretty fast.

Very different than anything out there - highly recommend it.

I finally got the PS4 version in the last sale. Enjoying it so far.

Since a dev is reading this thread:
There is a bug with rebinding controls. Changes are not saved correctly.
If I close the game and start it again, the change is gone.

There is a reprint of the Switch physical edition coming to Play-Asia. If you want to avoid the ebay price, you'll need to be quick. There won't be that many... :?

Are you using a particular controller? Last time I tried (on PS5) it worked.
