New PSN Mobile danmaku - TonanAsiaKyo for PSVita

[PC Engine Fan X!]

The above yoko danmaku title appeared on the US region PSN mobile site on 4-2-2014. It's a mere $2.29 purchase & is an 18mb d/l at best. Upon installing it on my PSVita, it runs at a silky-smooth 60fps framerate as all good shmups should. The leaderboard seems not to be up & running yet. You can use either the left analog stick or D-pad to control your fightercraft. By using a four button control scheme, you can activate your regular shot, shot spread burst or hyper wave weapon at your disposal to get out of tight situations if the need arises.

By pressing the left shoulder button, you can draw the rotating auto-firing satellite power-ups closer to your fightercraft as well.

There isn't an option to change the overall speed of your fightercraft “on the fly” but it'd be nice to have it implemented if an update is released.

High scores are saved for posterity but the ability to enter high score intials is non-existant.

Man, the info available is super-barebones. The promo description is apparently literally just "A side-scrolling shoot-'em-up."

There's a screenshot gallery at the bottom of this post. It looks like a doujin-ass doujin game. But for $2, maybe it's decent?

This reminds me a bit of an old game called Amanagi, anyone remember that?

Apparently this guy also made some quicky Notepad clone. Meh.

Even on the "Normal" difficulty setting, it's quite a challenge to dodge 'em bullets (even though there are five difficulty parameters to choose from (to whet your appetite) upon starting a new shmup gaming session. I think with a bit more polish & effort, the sprites could be a tad bit bigger (with some extra added detailing) but that's just my two cents here.
