Yeah, I registered it shortly after I downloaded the trial. It's a great little manic shmup on the PPC with chaining, grazing and clear Cave influences. It does suffer a bit in the control department, but that's pretty much the case with all PPC shooters, and more a hardware issue than anything. Definitely worth the $10 for the full version.

I have played the demo as of about 2 days ago, and I must say, I'm rally impressed with the game itself.

The control scheme isn't a really big issue as I think you can choose to either control your ship with the pad or the stylus with autofire on.

Wasn't a pc version of this game also in the works?

I think even if there are some Cave influences in Darklaga they're very very superficial.
Darklaga is nothing like a Cave game, it's more similar to Zanac Neo with more random level design and more bullets.
