Picked this up, seems pretty good
Clean neat unfussy graphics
Lock on weapon ala layer section/rayforce
Not much chat on new Jap shmup
Thought there might be more

Yeah, it's Japanese only, unfortunately... You'll have to create a Japanese account to get it.

This interview shows that the creator has plans to release it in the west, but no release date has been announced so far as I can tell.

I'm glad it's getting an official western release; it looks like a nice cute game. I had been thinking of getting eshop points from Japan to buy it, but luckily no longer. The lock-on mechanic is reminiscent of Soukyugurentai.

Did this get released as mentioned? Anyone pick it up?

I saw videos of it when it released in Japan and was curious....looking for brief impressions or things worth noting.

(As a side note for those not aware...this started as a pc/mobile game. There are slimmed down versions on both ios and android I believe. Looks like the game has been totally revamped since then)

I bought it and I'm enjoying it so far. I also bought the PC version. Switch version feels like a nice upgrade so far.

Did online leaderboards ever get added to the western switch version?

For anyone that owns this, did the dev ever fix the flip option for TATE so it would turn the correct direction to use with the Flip Grip?
