The fact that a treasure game made it into the top 25 is a damn shame, but 2 of them?! Both ahead of Ibara?!

Fail of the universe. Worse than deathsmiles being considered good.

Hahaha I don't like Cave much, and so the games I end up liking are less like their usual formula. I thought Deathsmiles was a good side scroller. Good pacing and variety, and you can play it easy or hard. I'd recommend it easily for someone's first shooter. It's no Thunderforce III, but it's more modern.

I still think the main characters are creepy.
