Thanks for taking my comments into consideration guys. I actually have read this site forever but signed up to comment on this. I really believe this game is among the best on the service.
Hopefully when this game is reviewed, the reviewer will put the effort into figuring out how to play well. You can watch the top 10 scores gameplay so that helps in understanding (and a nice feature as well).
I realize that shmups are not for everyone. But to say these games are basic or too short just means you aren't quite understanding how to play. If you love shmups, or just have an interest in them, this game is a steal at 500 points. Not to mention it isn't everyday they are published in the west.
I would like to add that you were missing something. If you play to beat the game, you most certainly will. If you utilize the chaining system and play for score (how you are supposed to play) the the lifebar becomes low and generally one hit can kill you. This game is truly awesome!
It is apparent to me that the impressions are from a person who doesn't quite get the genre. I have been enjoying this game for months now and it is among the best on the DSi Ware service.
Shmups are all about scoring. If they were long, they would become broken/boring/unplayable. The scoring system is tough to master and quite enjoyable. By utilizing it, it creates a wonderful risk/reward system. My first play through, I thought the same thing, but now that I understand how to play it, I have started to dye more and more trying for a better score. This is what these games are about. If you have any interest in shooters, please purchase this game. It is most definitely worth the 500 points. The gameplay is how long you put into it. The length of this game is perfect for a handheld. If it were much longer it wouldn't be enjoyable.
