So, I have come to the conclusion, out of all the CAVE shmups I have played, Crimzon Clover's scoring system seems the most similar to DeathSmiles, because of the "fever" system.
And I must say, I like.

I am not gonna lie, I suck at Shmups, but damn this game is hard! I can't wait for the full, just so I can play it on 'Simple' difficulty. I am not going to lie, that farthest I have gotten is on stage 1 where the guns or w/e start popping from places in the ground, I have gotten just a little past that. Any tips?

In general, all you have to do for doging those aimed shots is so-called 'streaming'. (this simple technique will get you through A LOT of shmup stage, believe me....)
Streaming consists of moving from the far left side of the screen, to the far right, and vice-versa. This way you can dodge all aimed bullets.
If done right, the only part that you really have to worry about is when you make a turn in the other direction.
This doesn't work for fixed patterns, of course. I just suggest saving up a bomb/break for those bigger enemies with un-streamable patterns.
Also, try to use your guided laser as much as possible.

EDIT: I forgot to mention something about streaming, probably the most important part about it. (well, especially for denser bullet sprays..)
While streaming, try to slow down your movement as much as possible (Tapping the guided laser button, to slow down your movement and take down more enemies).
Let's say you're moving from left to right, and you want to turn. If you want to turn, you want to make sure that there's a gap you can jump through.
So what you do, before turning left, you have to let go of the slowed movement, and quickly move to the right.
Your fast move to the right will leave a gap between the enemy shots on your left, which'll be easy to jump through. I hope I explained it clearly. :/



Does anyone know when the full verion's getting released? ;_;

[The Observer]

According to Yotsubane's message when you clear the trial, it'll be on august 2010, aka, Comiket 78 or perhaps after Comiket.

But I'm hoping to see an updated trial before that.

Please actually PLAY the damn game with more than one character (because there are a few n00b characters that do indeed break the game - Tewi actually stands out due to autobomb), and if you still don't believe me, do a one-life run on Extra and come back in a few months when you pull that off.

Please actually READ the damn post.

Uhh ... 1cc-ing PoFV Lunatic is indeed easy =P

This means anything that counts toward a fucking valid 1cc. Be it Aya, Cirno or bombspamming. No mention of all-character 1ccs, no mention of one-life Extras, nothing; you simply put words into my mouth. It's obvious that you are nothing but a childish brat who just wanted to show off, but sadly nobody is going to give a damn about how awesome you are.

Anyways, lemme reiterate: PoFV is not as easy as a noob like you assumes, even given the health meter, and this is coming from someone who has broken Daidra Empty's score system. Please actually PLAY the damn game with more than one character (because there are a few n00b characters that do indeed break the game - Tewi actually stands out due to autobomb), and if you still don't believe me, do a one-life run on Extra and come back in a few months when you pull that off.

Errmmm, that's actually not broken in Diadra Empty. It's done on purpose (confirmed in old diary posts between icewind & friends). Once you break a certain score mark in each mode and reach the first place on the result for all the requirements (score, time and I think it was coins). It kind of tells you that you "bested" that mode, heh. First one I got was in Extra, in which you can get hilarious scores like 4k millions or more.

But this is about Crimzon Clover, guys, for PoFV I'm sure there is a thread in the Touhou section to continue the discussion. I agree PoFV it's not easy either (in fact, I couldn't even be bothered trying the Extra Stage) and I wouldn't judge a game that currently is in trial state, which might and will probably change a bit on the final release.

[ferretboy128]

Does Crimzon Clover save your points to buy stuff? Because I had 13k but now I only have 4k,

[eq2D]

Im not sure about making normal mode much easiest, but unlimited mode is... fucking insane. And I'm really curious about what we find in "shop" in next versions. 59 milions (on normal) are my record. Now I have 2 hours of playing... without smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee/beer/whatever and I almost forgotten to breath. ;-) SO ADDICTIVE!

ps

Observer - I love you man!

[Formless God]

Lol why do I always feel like playing this at 3AM.
Did surprisingly well at the stages but derped both of S2's bosses. I failed to destroy them in time and they showered their most insane patterns on me. Though this time I made around 30,000 just by the end of S2.

[amarthar]

Did anyone of you guys tried to rip the music from this shmup? I tried with MultiExtractor, NovaExtractor and Dragon Unpacker, but no luck...

So this is due out in August? Thatll give me plenty of time to stick with Dodonpachi as after playing it on and off for about a month now i still havnt 1cced the 1st loop, due to me concentrating too much on scoring and only playing with 1 credit per game. If ild of used normal 1CC methods ild of been on the 2nd loop along time ago, which due to me only playing 1 or 2 games at anyone time, is keeping me from playing anything else. Still im having fun.

I just hope the dev doesnt screw Crimson Clover up as im hoping to be able to spend allot of time learning to master it.

Man so many great games to play and not enough time!

Yotsubane blog was updated!

Crimzon Clover will be released as a trial version at C78.
He promised a complete version of Crimzon Clover will be at the next comiket.

[Aisha]

Thanks for the update. I wonder how different this new demo will be from the previous one. Regardless though, I can't wait. Crimzon Clover is one of my most anticipated doujin games this year.

[kaspal]

so, a 3 level demo on august, and POSSIBLY a full version in december?... i guess i can wait.

thx for the info.

[Formless God]
