Those were the days, that was New York
I am some manner of posting-machine today, making up for lost time or something. This one’s fairly short, though; I’m just posting to point out that Platine Dispositif, makers of the best shmup EVER, have released a demo of their next game, a “metroidvania” which I believe is called Chelsea: Bunny Must Die. Go check it out; it’s quite Cave Story-like. Except with less plot. And more rigid and Metroid-like level structure.
Important! When you start the game, you will think that the controls are broken and you can not move right. This is not a bug, it is a feature. You will be able to move right as soon as you pick up the thing just to the left of the starting point that looks like a snowglobe with gears in it. I do not understand why this is. Perhaps someone can explain it to me.
Platine Dispositif also recently released a demo of a new shmup called Dandelion: Starchild Journey, and although I downloaded it last week along with a ton of other doujin game demos, I got really busy and haven’t had time to play any of them yet. I’ll try to check them out tonight and then post about any particularly awesome ones tomorrow-ish.
People have been having trouble getting the Chelsea: Bunny Must Die page to come up, so here’s a direct link to the demo download.

Am I the only guy getting a 403 on anything beyond the root of that guy’s site? And after so tantalizing a description, argh
(OK, that’s the second time your math thing has booted me, and I’m CERTAIN I had it right this time >_>)

Ack, it does look like their site is down. Hopefully it will just be temporary.
Sorry the math thing keeps eating your posts. I’ll look into it.

Missing underscore… the correct link is:

The new link is broken now too… and the main page of the site leads to a link without an underscore >_> Are we being purposely thwarted here?

now the one without an underscore works.

Not for me x_x What the heck is going on…

Try the direct link to the demo. If that doesn’t work try clearing your browser cache.

After you get the second hourglass that turns your time gauge purple, you can hold down the time button to reverse time.
