We here shall not rest until we have made a drawing-room of your shaft, and if you do not all finally go down to your doom in patent-leather shoes, then you shall not go at all.

Hate to say it, but as a huge MSX fan, I didn't care much for this one. It's ok, but nothing great. The music especially mad me sad. Monyon's previous works were way better than this. Could be fun for 5 bucks or so, but the MSX cartridge was so not worth the price.it290 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 03, 2026 12:50 am Looks to be an upgraded version of the single-screen fantasy shmup he released for MSX2 last year, due out in June of this year.

The Plus version appears like it is a pretty significant upgrade over the MSX2 version, at least in the visuals department. Here's hoping gameplay and sound get a similar bump. I do admit that it looks a little simplistic, but still charming. Not sure if I'm a fan of having enemies hug the bottom of the screen when you can only fire upwards.
