This has just been released on XBLIG for a mere 240MSP. Highly recommended. To be quite honest, I've been spending more time on this than SDOJ!

Brilliant game, I agree. Just about everything in there is amazing... like that title track, DAMN! :shock:

The only gripe I have is it feels like the view has been zoomed out too far or something. Could be necessary partially due to the required aspect ratio I suppose, or it could also be due to my withering old man eyes. >_>

Don't forget to add your vote for a Steam release:

As a straight-forward progression shmup, this is better than any Japanese release in recent memory.

Voted!

This is one game I'd probably rather have on PC, if only for the fact that things being ridiculously teeny-tiny might not be as much of an issue with a screen that's barely a few feet away. Here's hoping it goes through.
Defnitely had to go ahead and get the soundtrack, regardless, though! :shock:

Looks to have a very "fantasy Zone" vibe....

I think I d\l'd the demo on XBL, but haven't played it.

Love the sprite work. That's what attracted the d\l.

I actually discovered this game many months back on the toilet while flicking through games when I got my Vita. :D

Really good fun, solid lil defender homage. Nice to see it popping up outside of PSM too.

Definitely worth the few bucks for anyone who's not picked it up.

I noticed. The early levels are fairly simple defense, it's a bit like resogun a circular affair.
Does it get more interesting later on?

Kinda awesome to load up the Steam store page and see two shmups on the first page of new releases, and a run-n-gun off to the side in the specials. I must have woke up in bizzaro land. :)

Yeah and Ikaruga hasn't even hit yet. Hopefully we'll see more soon.

So yeah, this game has a lot of meowing sound effects. It drives my cat nuts. He literally will not let me play the game and keeps jumping up at me. It's cute and annoying at the same time, haha. :twisted:

Other than that I like what I've played so far. Takes a while to get going but gets plenty crazy later on.
