The first two were fairly decent, this one looks more interesting from what I could see of the video. And Aozora Market's still drawing some of the characters, which is good to see.

I played a little bit of TWIN1, it was fun. The danmaku's not quite the same level as Touhou is, but it's got a lot of things Touhou does not (like the character-swapping aspect and multiple paths to take). AS looks interesting though, seems like your "bomb" works more like a shield ala Reflex or Samidare, and the tension gauge seems to run FAST in this game.

Awesome news, as TWIlight refrAIN is one of my all time favorite not-Touhou shmups. I will most definitely be watching for this one. The changes to the Tension system seem interesting.

Demo is out. Hmm.....It quite hard if you don't use Bareer system (button C). Character spite are cute. OH you should set shift button for Focus mode.

Been playing this like mad. There are also online scoreboards now.

My only gripe is that if you get hit even once past stages 1/2 your score goes down the drain. So, at first, the twin sphere/shield system seems way too overpowered but later on it'll require a lot of strategy in order to keep the score from sinking astronomically down.

Agreed on the tension meter. Works like a charm. I also like the fact that you can move a lot around the screen.

The selection of characters is also a bit better than the previous game and the loli-twins partners are a welcomed addition.

Downloaded the demo, but my first attempt at playing it saw the game going at approx 300FPS. Any idea how to fix it at 60FPS?
