Out now on Android Market.

Seems pretty solid from the 30 sec I could try it out now. Good GFX, wacky story, nice sound.

Game has English and Japanese in it, so safe to play already (as if you couldnt play a shooter in Japanese)

Will try more when I get out from work

Oh yeah it's only 1.99.

Spoiler

So sorry Iwata-san!

Looks good.
Shame I could never get into the 360 game.(probably because of the controls)

Might pick this up in memory of Takeshi Miyaji and his Game Arts legacy.

It controls good too on touch screen, main weapon has auto lock which is nice.

If only Sega could port Panzer Dragoon (swoon).

I only played the demo on 360.

Wasn't there a Mega CD one too, or 32X.

Wow, looks really nice. This may be the first game I actually pay for on my phone. Would it run smoothly on an Epic?

edit:

It's selling for $2.99 on the market.

Purchase aborted

Yeah.
It was a 2D shooter though.

Ooh, Silpheed!
I hope this one is iOS-bound eventually!

Of course it runs buttersmooth on a freakin' S2. It just looks so nice, I'm not sure an OG Galaxy class phone would be able to handle it. Well, I'll find out in a few minutes. Downloading now.

Runs and looks great on my (overclocked) Epic. The onscreen directional controls blow dick, but once I set up for gyro/tilt it was all good. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Kosma.

A little info:

You can set select between English and Japanese text, but as far as I can tell all VO is English.
You can change the tilt sensor sensitivity and invert the controls in options.
There's a campaign mode, free mission mode, and "achievements".

Technically 2.5. You had to avoid the backgrounds as they came at you, from a rail-shooting perspective of sorts. Very unique game.

The PS2 Silpheed was 2d overhead.


The 360/this game is nothing like it. It's more like Wing COmmander.

Shame I never got to play it, it did look fun.

Got to mission 3 so far and I think it will get more challenging from here on, with big battleships etc. So far it has been too easy.

I did really like Project: Sylpheed. I'll have to check this out.

Edit: Android only? Fie.

I'll have to make my roommate download this on his phone.

SGS-II, and I tried tilt control. The analogue is horrible for me :-\
