When I heard the Vocaloid, I was like WTF!

Thanks for the OST link, btw. Donated my $2 since his music is awesome.

Please tell me I'm not the only one playing this right now...

I'm stuck at World 3 now (3-6). Geeze, this can get complicated...

The only thing I don't like about this game so far, from what I've seen (and heard) of it, is that it's a DSi title. I still have a bog-standard DS Lite, and haven't scrounged up the funds for a 3DS yet — partly because I don't think it has the library I'd need yet.

That said, the musician's stuff got linked to me earlier today, and then I see this thread. So how does it play? I haven't seen it in motion yet.

It plays like one of those Art Style games (Orbient I believe), except you are an alien chick who trots around the 2D planet. You can control the speed at which you trot, and you can "Pulse" a planet to bounce off from it. Your goal is to hop from planet to planet to reach the spinning vortex goal. The only thing is you can Pulse a planet twice before it gets destroyed (where you bounce off on the surface determines the direction). Some planets are bigger and thus have a stronger gravitational force (in other words, some really just need to be destroyed in order to proceed). Along the way you encounter aliens that also block your path and some that also trot along the planets you land on making it tricky. Some of these alience will bounce off the planet when you pulse them, making them hit other nearby enemies and destroy them. There's also a T-Rex at the end stage of each world which destroys the planet you are currently on (making it like those autoflipping stage from its predecessor, Mighty Flip Champs).

I would not hold the fact that it's a D Si Ware against it. You should definately get a (used) D Si in many places. I hear they're cheaper nowadays. Or maybe just get a 3DS and update later this month (since 3DS is bound to have a big library sometime, not to mention you can play your DS games on it as well)?

For those of you asking for a video:

I'd be playing this so much... if I actually had a D Si.

You can also play it soon if you also have a 3DS.

I'm stuck on the World 4 Boss.

How the hell do they expect me to do this?

Could this be a sign of good things to come with the D Si Ware service?:

Or perhaps Nintendo is trying to quickly free up space in their queues of their services.

I'm just waiting for La-Mulana to be released on Wiiware.

What language is main character speaking? ._.

^^You won't have to wait for long. This month's Nintendo Power has a guide to the first area.
