Does not seem to have a thread yet, so I'm making one.
The Tawashi, a cute 'em up that released on Steam a couple of days ago, here's the link:

To those (like me) who are not particularly inclined towards cute in general, it looks a bit shit, but despite this and a rather simple game system it plays surprisingly well.

The player character looks almost exactly like the Compile mascot, no? I like the bubbly art style, despite looking a little rough around the edges.

Bit on the easy side on the default "Normal" difficulty mode, but the game is quite fun, in a straightforward "kill and/or collect everything" sort of way. The size and number of the bullets, as well as the width of the playing field, made it a lot more cramped than I was expecting. In a fun way, though. And luckily enough, I enjoy the colorful nonsense of its art style.

I was going to make a thread on this, if there wasn't already. Just found out about this over the weekend. Looks like it could be fun.

So, it looks like the little dude's tiny green mouth is the hitbox?
Looks cute and fun.

Well, obviously, the mouth/face points upwards, since it's a vertical game.. so the green marker (which indeed is the hitzone) is a tattoo on his head.CaptainAhab wrote:So, it looks like the little dude's tiny green mouth is the hitbox?
