I like Cactus and Lemon. I haven't unlocked Shittake or Peanut yet though. This game speaks to me.
I needed a little break, my hand was cramping.

144 FPS support has me interested. Might pick up on Friday because of that
He's poking fun at me and my twitter profile. :3

Man....this is fantastic. If you're a fan of arcade action games, you pretty much need to buy this.

Running into an issue with Share Play. I've only been able to try with another person in the U.S., but they're getting a region message, that the game isn't available in their region.
I won't be on much longer, but if you see this in the next 15 to 20 mins, add me on PSN. I would like to see if anyone else is receiving the same error. PSN: Randy_M_Green

Figure everyone played it on PC by now.
Anyways, after playing the PC demo, I gave in and bought it on PS4 so yeah, same PSN name you see here.

S+ rank so elusive. I'm gonna lose hours to score chasing.

That moment when you wonder if any of these characters are your main
Then you unlock Peanut
:O
Then you unlock Peanut

I've only gotten one so far and still didn't get into the top 10!
I have the game a 9/10 on SelectButton. Fucking rock solid port. Should have been PS+ game of the month.
The differences are not all that major but a lot of people feel it's more suited to console, we use the speakers in the DS4 and have improved some enemy attack visuals as well as adding full localization for french/italian/german/spanish/japanese.
It's primarily balanced around solo play, multi player is optional.

Just tried with another friend in my region. They are also getting an unavailable in your region message. Downloading from the store again.

Just got it too!
That's concerning, I think shareplay was unavailable before the game had released proper but we did test it on the development environment earlier and it worked fine, it shouldn't be something we can even block from a game side (since nothing is blocked from streaming either).
Let me know how you go, maybe try again tomorrow as well if it's a timing thing. If something is wrong we'll get it fixed asap.
Edit - We've tried shareplay with an EU copy and it worked fine, and I've enlisted some twitter folks help to test the US copy now. They should be identical builds but it's possible something else is broken or it's still not considering them in a 'release' state.

Wario uploaded a S+ Cactus run against Liquorice. Fucking insane stuff. Would love to see these replays for the top 5/10 playable ingame off the leaderboard, would help people work out how to improve their scores a lot.
I reviewed the game and gave it a 10. Amazing game with a ton of polish, especially in terms of the PS4 port.
It's as balanced as a peak fighting game. Really impressive on that front.

You can also turn on pro mode so that it auto-restarts when you lose S+ rank (how I played)
Even better

Really liking Starch so far.
I was just gonna say "I'm all about that Starch life".
Peanut is cool, but I like the Missiles better than the Giga Drill.
Just an update on Shareplay - It seems to be an issue with PSN thinking the game isn't released yet in the NA regions, I've reached out to Sony to ask if there's something on our end or their end that needs to change. Hopefully it just comes good over the next day.
It should be working fine for EU players though we've tested and confirmed that.

Yes. All androids can achieve S+ on all the stages, plus you have EX Options to unlock (like for example First-Person View) for added spice if you want to diversify. Enemy count is appropriately balanced too.
Best twinstick shooter I've played in a long-ass time, if not one of the all-time greats. It helps that there's an absolute minimum of luck involved, so being robbed by bullshit only happens once every blue moon unlike something like Geometry Wars. I even went this far:
Never mind that you also earn purple S+ ranks if you beat a stage with all androids, though World / Zone 5 is still the only one I have yet to fully complete:
S+ Boss Rush has also been one of my favourite shoot 'em up experiences in years.

You done got me hyped now. I'll be booting it up as soon as I get through Hitman Go.
How tough was S+ ranking everything?

Challenging, but doable once you know all the nuances. Handful of harder difficulty spikes in places, but these usually change between characters.

Was sticking with Holly but just tried out Peanut and I'm loving the drill (seems to recharge quicker too)
FPS mode is insane haha, looks super broken but still very playable, playstyle definitely translates well.

Spend 3 hours of my life trying to beat the final boss. It better be the final boss because it's an annoying son of a bitch. I'm done for the day... :/
If you're getting the message from your other post then yep that's very much the final moments of the campaign.
Oh wow, that's great
Stuff like this makes me really happy, the last thing I want people thinking about when they play Cactus is what engine it runs on or being annoyed by performance/glitches.
There are one or two annoying bugs we found after going gold (Character voice volume is doubled when recording via PS4's built in methods because it's capturing the controller voice streams) so I'm pretty sure we'll do an update after GDC to try and further improve things, but it's relieving to know people can enjoy it at launch just for the game it is

Is this still getting a vita port? This would win me as a customer.
If you do port it, please try to optimize the loading times a bit, as they're pretty atrocious on many Unity vita ports.

Vita port is planned for later this year along with Wii U, and PS4/Vita are cross buy (Though probably not cross save, but not sure on that yet).
We're too far out to talk about how it'll end up performing but on PS4 we got our load times to about 1-2 seconds in most cases jumping from level to level.
