Happy Halloween everyone!

HW Itazura is a shmup made by Inatsuka Haru in 2012, basically got this information from looking at t_prin's video, you can download this game here: http://www.freem.ne.jp/win/game/4227

I've blind 1cc'd this shmup a week ago?.. I don't really know anymore, I didn't know of the mechanics however, so I scored terribly low, felt like improving it, so this is basically an improved 1cc of normal, I'm still willing to score 300m or higher.

I decided to upload this as it got a Halloween-ish feel.. Actually I'm pretty sure it's Halloween themed in some way, err.. Well, as far as I can see.

This shmup got a pretty interesting gameplay, although it's really short, basically you collect the things called koro from the pumpkin enemies, you get 5 per wave as the pumpkins give 1 per pumpkin, you got some sort of bar on the bottom, when it flashes you can press X to collect the upgrade or attack (it does if you got the specific amount of koro for it) you can upgrade your character or use the bomb function, in order the things you can upgrade or use are: SpeedUp (as logical as the name implies, you'll get faster, you'll need it.), PowerUp (Again, obvious), Barrier (You'll get a shield, once it's hit it'll break, handy for not dying of course, what you want for no miss runs.), LifeUp (Once you die, you can regain your lives this way.), and Bomber!! (Which, as you can guess, is basically a bomb, all attacks that hit it are turned into items, it also does allow you to auto-collect stuff, pretty handy for scoring.) You can see your upgrades to the right, the amount of Koro on the left.

This game also got a ranksystem, which basically makes your score higher and the game a whole lot harder, on normal it stops at rank 6, easy to get to, reasonable as it doesn't give too much danmaku and suicide bullets, hard got that when you reach rank 7, basically why you might want to die at times, although the rank increases fast and life collection'll get a bit harder, the rank goes up if you collect the amount of Koro that's on the left-side of the screen, you might want to collect it or to not collect it at times, take prior notice to that, it's also interesting to note that speedkilling will give you way more score at the bosses, you can see the score in the upper-right corner.

It's pretty interesting as you're kinda able to decide wether you'll go for scoring, a no miss or a no bombs run.

I like that.

I also like that Youtube now allows videos to be 60 FPS, as far as I knew chrome was capable of uploading 60 FPS videos, not entirely sure but I read it in a skype-chat I'm in, nevermind that though, we are atleast capable of uploading gameplay on 60 FPS now! anyways, have a happy Halloween!
