"Rainbow Flame" StgBuilder game

Post by sea-slug »

Hi there... I came across this on YouTube the other day...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi8KVeA ... r_embedded

Looks pretty cool, in an old-school kind of way, and slick too.

The vid description took me to a page with a bit of info:

http://stgbuilder.wiki.fc2.com/wiki/RAINBOW%20FLAME

Apparently the developer was "アステロイド製作" and the game was released back in 2013. Unfortunately, the download link seems to be dead.

I'm posting here in the hope that someone may know an alternative source for the game - or better still, may have it and be able to share! I'm assuming it was freeware.

I actually managed to find a working download by following the link to "stgbuilder.wiki" in the description of the YouTube video above: from there click "stgdu0000446.zip", and after that click the "esc-j.net..." link, the download should begin. I only played it once before posting, but it seems pretty solid, though I don't understand how everything works: it does appear to only have 3 stages though, unless you have to play better than I did to go any further, heh.

Thanks for that BulletMagnet.
The link wasn't working for me, but I think it was related to my being in Australia.
Using a UK proxy I was able to download the game OK. Strange.
Nice game, though!

Hm, weird that it'd just block Australia for some reason...in any case I suppose I owe you a bit of thanks for making me aware of this game, as I've downloaded not only it but several other games whose videos I meandered to from there. :)

Yeah, wasn't working for me in Australia either. Them Xenophobics and their global IP filtering! :(
