Send in the Ikaruga clones

(tags game, PC, doujin, Ikaruga, Comic Market, online, Macromedia Flash)

I am totally out of the Comic Market nowadays, but what I saw at the shop was frankly grand. There's a Ikaruga-like doujin shmup that was sold at Comic Market 70 (2006/08/13) and will be sold at Tora No Ana tomorrow (2006/08/24). I saw it on a demo unit. It looks great with vertical orientation (tate), white and purple bullets, absorption and meter. I don't know if there are homing beams, that would really be cool. I really want to skip work to buy it, haha. I don't have any details other than the 2100 yen price, and it's not on the Tora no Ana STG (shmup/shooting) page (this page is not 18-only, but the rest of the site is!). If I get it, I'll be sure to post some more info.

Speaking of which, there's an Ikaruga clone made from Macromedia Flash, according to Kotaku. I don't need to try it myself, do I? I want to level up my FF XII characters, m'kay?
