It seems that nobody has noticed it yet so It'll be my pleasure to direct your attention to another nice Ikaruga tribute, namely Kairuga.
"Warning Forever Graphic Style + rRootage Vector Style
+ Ikaruga Gameplay + Graphic Outline Glows = Kairuga"...at least that's how the author describes his nice little creation.
...and here we go:

first impression:
very cool and shows how great the ikaruga system stands out of all the others.

The bullets fly out waaaay too fast, and the chain system has obviously been altered. I found myself being cornered by both white and black bullets far too easily. And I had set the game to Easy Mode. Also it takes too many shots to take out enemies of the same polarity.

It shows promise though...and I would love for there to be some sort of level editor.

Yeah, I also think that both bullets corner you way too fast. I find it extremely difficult even on easy...but that's maybe also because my brain is still in UnderDefeat-mode

I found it far far far too slow, it felt like you were flying through tar.

Your computer might not like the rendering method or some wierd stuff like that... because it runs blisteringly fast on mine. So fast that it is rather difficult to react to the suicide bullets.

Thats a valid point, my PC is a steaming hunk of junk tbh

i totally agree with what Blade said. also the game's size on screen is rather small. am plaing it on a 1280x800 screen and it's really tiny. i think a 320x240 / 640x480 screen-filling option would be great.

it's a nice tribute.

This game is pretty sweet but as was said before I think the difficulty even on easy is way to hard. Also the bullets move pretty fast and it takes a lot of shots to take out enemies.
