The 5min "Q Caravan" stg on Switch Smile Basic 4 app is ace.....

Post by PC Engine Fan X! »

I was playing the "Q Caravan" indie stg developed with the Smile Basic 4 app for the Nintendo Switch 1 from game developer Konimiru -- if you manage to reach and destroy the "final boss" in the last 10 seconds before the 5 minutes are up, you'll get an additional 76,800 points added to your overall score. I managed to score 3,011,800 points within the 5 minute caravan mode today, 3/16/2026 -- a new personal best score. It does save your top 5 ranked scores via NVRAM. Even a score bar graph is displayed highlighting the "highs & lows" within each minute checkpoint if you played a 2min or 5min session shown on the main title screen -- how cool is that?

Both 2 minute & 5 minute Caravan modes are just plain nuts/crazy in that anything goes mixed with a bullet hell aestethetic all wrapped in an indie Caravan stg title. It runs at a silky-smooth arcade-spec 60fps framerate presentation which is quite impressive for an indie stg title running on the SB4 app/engine.
