Heads up: Bug Princess (Mushihimesama) is free on iOS today only, as a result of a Twitter campaign. The game releases on Steam next week.

Thanks for the heads up. The iOS shooters are surprisingly not that bad.

CAVE arranged this to celebrate the Steam release. The iOS version should be free until 11/2.

It's free, but if you've never played Mushi you're better off avoiding the iOS release. Awful touch controls aside, the resolution is horrendous and overall it's a poor introduction to the game.

Took a screenshot, it says everything so I don't have to.

I don't recall it looking that bad on the last iPhone I played it on. Odd.

Had both on my iTouch since they were released, both look fantastic.

I kind of had the same feeling as Elixer when I first booted it up. It's not great.

Still, free is free, right?

While I don't like playing action games in "iDevices", game looks nice (at least in my 6s) and plays correct

I would never pay full price or play intensely for score, but given it's free I don't see the point why not grabbing it to kill some waits in busses or trains

I have never passed stage 3 in the 360 version, but 1CC the original in normal my first play yesterday, it's really that easy?

The "normal" difficulty in the mobile version is heavily toned down; the "hell" difficulty in the mobile version is equal to standard arcade difficulty, although it's still easier than usual since you can move wherever whenever with the touch screen controls.

Thank you for the heads up about this. Although I prefer to play something like this on a tv with a game pad or stick (instead of touch controls), at least this like some of the other Cave iOS titles are fun in short bursts.
