Left click on a video, and then go down to "Save link target as". That should do it.

This thing has caught my attention more and more as time's gone on...now, aside from games I've mentioned before, I'm seeing elements of Giga Wing, Brave Blade, and (of all things) Vasara in there...very interesting-looking stuff going on. Not to mention, of course, the Bike Banditz-esque graphical style. Let's just hope it all comes together...and if that happens, comes home. :)

You people are just being silly, it's clearly a mobile game. :P

It seems to be coming along nicely. I like that there are different weapons. The 123 Laser looks useful, and the bubble gun seems to cause lots of 10Xs. Anyone know what the item with the ka in it does?

Dude, it's new shmup done on Naomi hardware. I'm not saying that it won't come out on cell-phones, at least in Japan, but given that information there's no good reason not to expect at Dreamcast port.

At any rate, people can say what they want about Milestone, but at least they actually PROVIDE footage of their games-***coughcoughSengokuCannonPSPStarSoldierIbaracoughcough***-so that people aren't reduced to having to sneek into a Japanese arcade with a camera just to get some video.

I think that's sort of the idea: a console game with a presentation recalling that of a cell phone game. At least that's how I always figured it was supposed to be.

It sounds like a bad idea when all by itself, but I'm willing to at the very least give it a chance, if I ever get the opportunity to play it.

I think that was aimed at me.. I was convinced that it was a mobile game due to the top panel with the signal and battery graphics..

still, it looks poor graphically.. if it wasnt polygonal it would look like a pc engine game... might play well tho

Personally, I'd LOVE to see a cell-shaded shmup, and I think it looks great for a cell-shaded game. Plus all those weapons! :shock: Awesome, IMO.

Even Homura's boss explosion isn't as good as this. This one's pure STYLE!

That constant bullet swiping and ESPRa.De.-ish scoring system (?) gets me the most. Looks very tedious.

It wasn't necessarily a slam directly solely at pixelcorps. I seem to remember there were quite a few people who were very certain it was a cell phone game when Milestone first announced. That's what the " :P ", because I was kidding. Maybe a :wink: would've made it clearer, but I guess you'd need context to get it.

You know, I thought Chaos Field was mediocre as hell. But this game actually looks really fun.


Here's to hoping for a DC port.

No harm done, I hope! I thought that's what the emoticon was for, but I wasn't completely certain.

At any rate, I will be estactic if this get's a DC port, which I'm pretty confident that it will.

I must say, from the vids/pics, this looks poor. Very cheap in all respects.

I'm almost certain that it's cel-shaded, but with that resolution, I won't say I'm 100% sure. But I like the unique style regardless. I think "cellphone" is the theme of the game, and not that this is a cellphone game. Maybe you fight inside a cellphone or smth. Could GaijinPunch have a look at the site and see if there's any story?

And the music, as somebody mentioned earlier, is really really good.

I think it looks interesting, reminds me of Homura crossed with Twinbee, although the colours in the videos seem a bit bleached looking. Unlikely I know, but lets hope for a PS2 port. ;)

I just watched all the videos and then looped the tutorial video for about 20 times :D

silly gameplay, goofy but creative graphic style, and music that makes one question the sanity of the developers... good stuff.

is it just me but why do I keep making a mental connection between this game and Gunnac.
