History YMMV / Ibara

* GoodBadBug -- ''Pink Sweets'' has this in the form of infinite lives. It's used in order to crank up the rank so high that it makes ''VideoGame/MushihimeSama'' look like a walk in the park. At least that would be the case, if not for the ability to cancel bullets...

* ScrappyWeapon: The Rose Hips in ''Pink Sweets''. Shooting enemies with them adds nothing to your score.
** The Rose Cracker qualifies as well, due to the quick rank increase that results from using it, and the fact that, unlike Yagawa's other rank-based games, rank cannot be decreased '''at all'''.

* VindicatedByHistory: On release, ''Pink Sweets'' was generally regarded as a lackluster follow-up to ''Ibara'', with an art style that contrasted with the steampunk aesthetic of the previous game, and gameplay that similarly diverted from Yagawa's signature rank-based gameplay. Nowadays, opinions on ''Pink Sweets'' tend to be more positive, with the rise of guides ([[https://youtu.be/X2F0mObXL9E like this one]]) that showcase the true depth of its scoring system (such as the ZAN system and how to control the rank), which lead to an uptick in both popularity and reception.

* TheUnfavorite - This game in comparison to other Creator/{{Cave}} games with the main reasons being Yagawa's trademark rank systems, the bugs, and the sheer fact it's nothing like a typical Cave game. (Yagawa games encourage rank control, bombing for score, strategic suicides and avoiding power ups) It shares this distinction with Muchi Muchi Pork, another Yagawa-programmed game of Cave's.
** In particular, ''Pink Sweets'' is hated for the fact that the game is significantly harder than Yagawa's other games, due to the fact that you ''can't'' decrease rank in this game, and the rank is also cranked up faster than other games (especially in regards to the [[SmartBomb Rose Crackers]]). This means that no matter what you do, without the Infinite Lives bug, the game will become UnwinnableByDesign eventually. Oh, and there are also ''no'' score-based extends.

** Another factor is that the few Cave games Yagawa did are easily counterstopped (a black sign for a shmup) while his Raizing games would go into letters upon hitting the number cap.
