This was my 1st CAVE game and the pixel art and visuals still blow my mind how great this looks and plays. I found myself going into all the modes from Arcade to Black Labels to get many awards, Blowing my mind I was able to do some of the challenges.

Game: A great shooting game, and considered by many to be Cave's easiest one, so a good place to start. The era of Cave's pre-rendered CG sprite graphics technique (or whatever it is) was at its height around this time, so it's beautiful. It also has a Namiki soundtrack which has a lot of iconic songs. Since writing this review, I've got arcade mode clears of all the non dlc characters, and a sakura arcade clear in MBL (though, it was in the newer port...), so I'll remove the part about how I totally suck. Really love this game. Port: The consensus is that this is a decent port, in terms of input lag, slowdown, etc. There may be a lot of missing slowdown on the extra stages, but I am unsure if that is still the case. The Deathsmiles I & II port that is also on steam is considered more definitive in these regards, but it's also more expensive. Buy that one if you really love this game. You can get this one for a very good price in a bundle with two other excellent CV1000 Cave games, so it's still worth it unless you are hard committing to Deathsmiles (or god forbid Deathsmiles II). The biggest issue is the training mode could use improvement (boss select, especially).

Challenging, yet at the same very accessible to newcomers and those of moderate skill. As with most bullet hell, your first few runs will revolve around not dying, but one you become accustomed to the game, you can can delve into the scoring system, and that`s where the real addiction starts!
