I believe this was discussed before. Its a very amature/homebrew looking game, with sprites/layout/designs copied from Mars Matrix, Ikaruga, DoDonPachi, and even Ketsui.

Yeah, but has it been released, or will it be?

The game has indeed NOT been released and on the developers webpage it says "Freezed" after the game's name on the project page. Reason of the freezing has been given but can't remember where I read it and what it was though...

A new (and this time PROMISED to be completed) game is in development for the DC though...

Check out this thread for some of the sketchy details and even pics...:

Price tag of 30 euros????

what are the odds of a manual, case and delivery to your house included in that price.

You guys should try Baryon, a 1995 shump from a Korean company Acro Studios, Much better level design & Bosses than this crap.
For anyone that likes Raiden 1 & 2, will love Baryon.
It's for Dos though.

Well I can't help it, I'm a sucker for city levels when it comes to shmups. These don't look all that bad, ive seen worse.

I was obviously workign on the DC version. The reason its stopped is that the Original Author of the Jp PC version has vanished of the face of the planet. So The game could not be released as he owned the copyright

If your looking to make shmups for the DC please make a thunderforce esq game, forget orginality give us thunder fierce part 6!

any horizontal shmup with multiple weapons bad ass bosses and heavy rock music! I'd pay for that.

The copyright might just as well be "dead" than too...

Would be a real shame if the game was ever leaked onto the internet now wouldn't it!
