Now onto refrain :D
Couldn't have said it better. Indeed, I have 9 other shooters waiting in line so, for now, can't dedicate to it and I'm sure the guy will address the bugs and problems. Taking a second glance, the graphics are also quite decent and, true, there is no slowdown so bullets are merciless. But I'm used to no slowdown hopefully... in fact, I prefer it, heh.

Refrain will be a trial so whatever you find at the moment will be one of the previous versions which, sadly, are not too polished. Let's hope C77 will show further progress and badassery. Probably toning down the overpowered secondary weapons will help...

RefRain is quite good although i didnt fully understand the 2 meters and the full range of weapons i can get when combined with the special attack. Rebrank have a habit of having all their instructions in picture format, so there is no text i can translate.

I played the c76 version and your right the bosses do get totally stomped on if you unleash a full special on them although the stage 4 twin bosses can take abit of hurt. 4 stages in a trail version that makes think the full version will quite number of stages in it

Samidare was amazing. Why is RefRain taking so long to get a release?

Also, do any of you know where I can find the C77 demo of RefRain ~prism memories~ ? I've looked everywhere with no luck.

It's been under development for ages, I recall Shoot the Core had an early screen from 2004-2005. My best guess is that it has a laughable amount of bugs and things to polish. I would appreciate a better damage feedback too, the earlier trials don't give the sensation that you are causing damage at anything except when you trigger the overpowered secondary attack.

Sadly, the C77 trial sold out in minutes so I'm hoping they'll put out a web version sooner or later. These guys take their time to release things and seriously underestimate their own popularity too (proved by how Samidare Archive disappeared in minutes too during Comiket).

Several copycat title .... Most of them plagiarised from toho would be seen as a cliche stuff and even more ignored by jap shmup fan.

there 're very few innovative shmup , merely take pretty much longer to be ultimately done , such as RefRain.
