    Just what the title says, both Danmaku Unlimited and Storm Strikers will be on sale tomorrow (or now in some parts of the world) for 0.99USD for one week! Check out DU1 for cheap before DU2 comes out later this winter!

    If you're even remotely interested in bullet hell titles, here's two MUST own titles. DU is easily one of the best on the iOS, and Storm Strikers is a massively hardcore shmup with some pretty nice difficulty and challenge. Both are highly recommended.

    These are arguably in the top tier of shmups in the app store, right up alongside giants like CAVE.

    ###IMPORTANT### This game require iPhone 3GS/3rd gen iTouch or above to run. Please try the lite version first if you are unsure if your device can run this game. ###Reviews for Danmaku Unlimited### NINEOVERTEN (5/5) "If you are a bullet hell shmup lover, this is a must have" 2D-X (Excellence Award) "This well-crafted space shooter deserves a spot in every iOS gamers’ library" TOUCHARCADE (4.5/5) "a gorgeous 2D shooter that offers up challenging stages and lots of competition" POCKETGAMER (8/10 - Silver Award) "A blistering combination of killer visuals and arresting shooter gameplay" SLIDE GAMER (8/10) "a beautiful, unique, and challenging title that deserves being checked out" 148APPS "The game is absolutely gorgeous." VIDEO GAME COWBOYS "Danmaku Unlimited makes its impact with striking visuals and an intense experience that anyone can jump into" ファミ通App - FAMITSU APP "App編集部オススメ!" - Editor's recommendation! IPHONE AC "とにかく高クオリティーなシューティングです" - This is simply a high quality shooter ###Danmaku Unlimited### The wait is over! Inspired by the best of 2D shooter games such as the Touhou series and other doujin games from Japan, Danmaku Unlimited is an authentic bullet hell shooter experience on a level that is rarely available on mobile devices! Set in the not so distant future, Danmaku Unlimited places you in a world that is gripped by destruction, caused by the will of nature to cleanse the earth of mankind that for long has been abusing her gifts. The manifestation of her wrath comes in the form of six goddesses, or Valkyrias. As beautiful as they are deadly, they wield the power to transform and re-purpose man's creation to their cause. As humanity crumple against nature's righteous onslaught, will you, the only Valkyria that still sees hope in mankind, fight to give humans a second chance? Or will humanity receive the judgement it so deserves? ###Requirements### -firmware 4.1 or newer ###Optimized for### -iPhone4/4th gen iTouch ###Minimum### -iPhone 3GS/3th gen iTouch and above (the game may run on older devices but not at a desirable level of performance, please download the lite version to try it out on your device first) -as this is a graphically intensive game that requires a lot of processing power, it may be necessary to change the graphic settings of the game to a lower level on older devices. This can be done in the options menu. The graphic settings changes the intensity of the special effects and have no impact on gameplay. ###Features### -An authentic Japanese style bullet curtain (danmaku) shooter experience on the iphone/itouch! -Vibrant, detailed graphics. -State of the art procedurally generated special effects. -Intuitive touch based controls, with automatic control assists for an optimized mobile experience.(Can be toggled off for more precise player control) -Customizable control sensitivity. -Intense amounts of bullets arranged in intricate patterns for you to dodge! -Multi-stage boss battles -3 levels of difficulty to ensure that both newcomers and veterans of the genre will have an enjoyable challenge. -A certain segment proving to be a touch nut to crack?

  5. Well, Danmaku 2 is coming out sometime soon and it will be universal. Really look forward to that cause Danmaku is awesome.

    Both of these games are awesome shmup fans, highly recommended!

    I kind of like danmaku a little better even though storm strikers is the newer title. Mostly due to the abstract graphics kind of like dodonpachi maximum. Storm strikers looks more like a regular bullet hell.

    Also like the music better in danmaku. Both are bullet hells.

    Both are good, if you like danmaku, you will also probably like storm strikers too.
     
  10. Danmaku 26 mb
    Storm strikers 38 mb

    Both small, but great fun. Highly recommended!

    Playing iOS games, duh.

    I am hopeful Danmaku 2 does really well so Mr. Tam continues on with making iOS shooters. Looking forward to Danmaku 2, and would kill for HD versions of both Danmaku 1 and Storm Strikers.

    Hadn't picked up Storm Strikers yet, but I've done it now. Huge fan of Danmaku, and looking forward to the next one. :)

    Which one is better
     
  15. I like danmaku a little better due to the more immersive soundtrack and pumping music.

    But really, they are pretty close, they seem similar, the theme is a little different. Storm strikers seems more like a regular shmup while danmaku is more space and retro oriented. Both good, get both.

    I wouldn't describe Storm Strikers as a regular shmup. It's not 'bullet-hell' as much as it is laser-hell. The lasers make it one of the most unique shmups I've ever played.

    All three of his shmups are 100% worth your money. Even his other games are pretty good.
