I'm talking about the spinoff games, like Futari and Black labels.

Are they completely different games or just remixed a little?

I like mushi alot but wondering what is the difference in Futari. Thanks for your help.

Futari is a completely new game, all the Black Labels are basically remixes.

Fine tuned gameplay + new/changed scoring systems are also a factor in Black Labels.

DOJ BL - fine tuned gameplay mechanics
Ibara BL - completely different game just same graphics
Futari BL - original and maniac are finetuned, god is a completely new mode, no Ultra.
DS BL - fine tuned gameplay mechanics + new difficulty

mushihimesama and mushihimesama futari are two completely different games, futari is mushihimesama 2, they share nothing.

I'd imagine it's in the spinoff category.

And a new character, and a new final boss if you do both extra stages.

It is a completely different game. There are similarities which continue themes that exist within Ibara (i.e., similar rank system), but there is definitely a different look to the graphics, different gameplay, etc. Basically, it just continues the story line.

The playmechanics are taken from Summer Carnival 92' Recca.

Right, but not similar to any other Cave game play mechanics.

And will Cave consider doing a proper sequel to it or have they regulated it as a one-off game title as it was intended to be from the beginning?

Wow, it's been so long since the first one came out! It is so different from other games that it would be great to have a sequel.
