C85 Shmups

[CStarFlare]

Comiket 85 was last month, and there were a few great STG releases that have received some attention around here (LaserReimu and Astebreed), but this guy has posted videos of quite a few C85 STGs so I know there was more released - has anyone played other C85 doujin STGs and can make any recommendations?

I have a few of them (see sig):

Astebreed - Wow! Is this really a doujin? Edelweiss have topped themselves once again. Requires a beefy computer to run. It's a horizontal STG, so it's not really to my liking, but others seem to love it.

Yakouga 6 - Akiragoya - Newest release from Arteisneit. Surprisingly less weird than their other games. This plays as a hard-as-nails 1943 clone with a few extra options. I really like it.

Laserreimu - I was a bit disappointed in this. Just another Touhou game done in an 8-bit style. We've all seen it before, and it adds very little to the series but I do love the graphic design.

Revolver 360 - Re:Actor - I wasn't impressed with the first game in this series, so I wasn't expecting much here. Looks like Astebreed to me, but honestly I haven't even opened it yet. Graphics look incredible, and its a side scroller. You'll need a fairly new computer to run this one..

I have extra copies of all of these, so hit me up if you're interested in getting one for yourself.

Aste Mora - I need to watch some high level plays/play Hard Mode (if it exists; I fucked up the final boss fight due to lack of sleep) in order to make an accurate judgement. Right now it just feels like a severely watered down Futari Maniac with a handful of other issues:
- Bullets are stupidly hard to see (ironically, the bullets with the best visibility are the ones you can destroy with your shot).
- Bullets feel like an afterthought; you just slash all of them away, no penalties (except maybe in Stage 4's opening where you might accidentally hit the zako as well.)
- Regenerating health bar.

LASERREIMU - Scoring feels like AKS except you ride the laser right away instead of going through 13 intersessions. Very solid game.

Tried searching up this Aste Mora game and Im getting nothing. Links?

[Formless God]

I know you did that on purpose.

What? I'm serious lol. I looked it up on Google and I get hits based on Waste disposal systems! On Youtube I get nothing as well!

Astebreed + Sine Mora, portmanteau because how astebreed looks...

[Wyrmnus]

I feel so stupid LOL. Probably cause I don't think anything of Sine Mora when it comes to the badassery of Astebreed.

i really like LaserReimu actually ,very solid game with "just enough" scoring system that i don't have to chain or Pointblank to get item A to transform in B to get item C in order to release D to get x9999 gold.
