I was chatting with Mikito Ichikawa, and he mentioned his latest game, which was announced last year August, and I believe went on sale in September. It's a shmup with a horizontal resolution of 3200 pixels, which is incredible. You need to get two monitors, but I believe it works with one as well. Has anyone tried it?
The point of the extra length is to set up massive chain reactions to boost score and kill bosses.
Has anyone else heard of or played it? I tried the demo, but my graphics card apparently can't handle it.
It does look rather lovely though. It reminds me of the original arcade Darius with a bit of R-Type, thanks to the charge shot, but from the videos it seems to play entirely differently.
I wrote a blog entry on it, in addition to posting here, because my main concern is that it's currently at the whim of Steam Greenlight. Which from what I've read, from every developer, is just plain nasty to go through. People arbitrarily vote you down just to be mean. Why would you vote down a cool 2D shmup?! It's not like there's a limit to shelf space on the internet.
