Haha, how they could take away all the spirit from the game is impressive, but not as impressive as how they could ruin the great soundtrack with that "go! go! go! go!" they threw in. Thumbs up!

It's Korean, the guy's blog is here: http://marhite.tistory.com/
I'm fairly sure he says he'll have it out in a month but my Korean is shit and google translate didn't help.

He has some other mental game as well: http://marhite.tistory.com/157

Thanks! That site's a bit of discovery and there's some seriously weird shit going on there:Image
Like when you see one of those nature documentaries about life on the deep ocean floor that no-one ever knew was there before.

This guy's great!
Just gave those two games ("小怪奇" and "小怪奇 Rainbow Rabel eXtra") a whirl and they're really rather good- it's all DOJ and Ketsui inspired. The music's absolutely fantastic and the graphics are tripped out too so it's highly recommended.
Judging from the screens and the storyline in the manual, a lot of this madness is generated by the stress of the North/South Korean Conflict.
This is what would have happened if Hieronymus Bosch had made shmups :D

Explained. Korea is weird. I like it, I like Koreans, but it's effing weird.

Though if you watched the video you already know that.

In case anyone still cares, the game's currently undergoing testing, difficulty tweaking, baby punching and whatnot. I'll inform you guys when the final version's up.

Wow. That is insanely odd. It's just amazing somebody's dedicated their time to something so peculiar.

Can't get it to work "cannot read the game file". Tried with applocale too.

I fixed the "cannot read the game file" errors by removing all the asian letters from the EXE and parent folder.

But now I've come across this problem of not having music playing at all. Trying to figure it out now.

Mine's running fine without changing anything- I've got non-unicode languages set to Japanese in regional options and have got full east asian languages pack installed (including Korean which might be significant).
Ha ha- this is fuckin' fantastic!
The developer just posted a vid of it too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HTHJx4btJE

This doesn't actually seem quite as bizarre as his RainbowRabelextra game.
Anyway- I can only get this crazy Dotonpachi running with the LQ.exe and the hi score doesn't seem to be saving.
Maybe you actually have to get a high score or something...

lol looped it

It only saves your score if you clear the game. I did a 1-ALL and got my name on the scoreboard but game overing in the second loop gave me nothing.
