I have no fricken clue whats going on in this game but you seem to attack by lassoing bullets then shooting them back, but i've gotta be missing stuff.

For anyone wanting to try it out, there's a demo at the bottom of the page.

It's not really a shooter at all. Well...I guess it would feel right at home on the DS. Basically, you play entirely with the mouse. You control the character, and by holding down the left mouse button and circling a bullet, you render it immobile. By getting on top of it and holding down the mouse button again, you can aim it (manually) back at any enemy. Keep in mind that not only is there a time limit, you also have a gauge at the left of the screen that determines how long you have to spend in lasso mode. Use up the gauge on a big pattern and you will have less time for the next shots.

It's...weird. Very weird.

I've just been messing with this game, it's quite fun......you basically trace circles around bullets to capture them, then adjust the angle to fire them back.

This game is just screaming to be ported on to the Wii. Encircling bullets with a wiimote would work well.......
Don't just dodge bullets, dance around them.

That page is reporting a 404 now. Strange. And the same address is still linked from the group's games page.

since i dont have a Wii (and wont have one for awhile), id like to see this one on the DS... somethin interesting should comeup if Murasame does the port ... but, i dont think it will ever happen, since, he's more focused on the PC Doujin market and he never releases source code for others to port the games.
