Guess what – I don’t play the games I write about either. There isn’t a need to play anything by cactus to know that they’re gold.

Anyway, new game released. Go grab it!

Cactus is, frankly, my favourite indie developer at the moment. This game reeks style, and it smells good.

..But I can’t see the missiles half the time and I die. :(

Cool. Very cool.
BTW, makes me wonder why ‘?????????’ (protogand) is subtitled as protoganda, and ‘???????’ (rope) is translated as strings. A kind of AYB in reverse with russian instead of japanese?

Probably. Cactus has done that before :) Back when clean Asia was released someone noted that “Asia should be written, “a ji a” in katakana, not eishia.” – his response was that to say that “As for the spelling error, it’s on purpose. I study Japanese at the local university, actually. I figured I’d pay tribute to the wonderful engrish present in so many asian games, by putting some naihongou (or whatever you’d call bad Japanese) in it. “

keep losing my player in the background, but it seems solid. i don’t like how unpredictable the missiles become when they go off the bottom of the screen. i always get hit from below while dodging bullets.

Gosh, he churns out game after game. Dev time? 24 hours? Holy poo.

Russian theme seems interesting, however I do not clearly see the point of it. Great game, nevertheless.

Well this game is amazing.. again. I don’t really like the shield, although its more original than absorb i guess, but anyways, absorb gameplay > shield for me.

That’s an echoing bubbly tone sound thing. Just imagine it right after Melly’s post.

wtf? after I died it froze up with some freaky replay, and then it wouldn’t shut down and screwed up my screen resolution. Not exactly user friendly. Anyway I prefer simpler stuff like MSOIDS to this.

I think the absorb mode would be a lot more interesting if you couldn’t absorb and shield at the same time, it really ruins the gameplay as the red energy balls become completly harmless and servers as nothing more than eye-candy.
