Hehe! I bet I'm not the only one feeling like this right now.

Haven't had time to blog... have a comic!
Haven't had much time to blog recently. Sorry about that...
Here, have a one-page comic to make up for it. I can't make
any promises right now, but I do plan to start reviewing
regularly sometime soon.

Bulletgba - Free Danmaku Trainer for the GBA
Overview
Bullegba is a free, downloadable danmaku trainer for the gba. (psp in my case thanks to emulators) Unlike other bullet-dodging trainers, this game simulates one long boss fight for each level. Think of an extended version of the Tohou bosses on normal and you'll get a pretty good picture of what I mean. I'd recommend playing the game on a real GBA, a DS, or a PSP if you can for maximum enjoyment.
Game Modes
The game features multiple modes of play. There are five "shooting levels" with different bullet patterns and increasing difficulty; there's a 'BulletsMorph' mode where you cannot shoot back and are forced to dodge random bullet patterns, but wherein you can't die either. "Select Barrage" allows you to practice on bullet patterns from various danmaku style games including, but not limited to Noiz2sa, Progear, Storm Caliber, Strikers and the cult-favorite, Tohou. You can also view and save replays for the bragging rights :3
Graphics
The graphics are very basic and it feels like the creators just put them there as representations and nothing more. That said, they do their job well and do not affect the gameplay one bit. You control an orange '@' symbol and get constantly assaulted with the different shaped green bullet sprites with a constantly scrolling black and gray screen background.
Sounds
The usual blip blips you'd expect from a modern 2D shooter; nothing really fancy, but they do their job just like the graphics. The music is a mix of techno and old school 8-bit nes style. The tracks are very upbeat and fit the fast-paced action of the game very well.

Typhoon Fengshen/Frank!
Ehehe! Sorry, my reintroduction to doujin game blogging/reviewing got delayed a bit. A huge typhoon hit my area, Iloilo City, Philippines. A dam broke and three major bridges collapsed causing massive flooding in many areas. At least 40,000 were stranded on rooftops, thousands missing and hundreds dead at this point.
Luckily, we didn't get hit that badly and all we suffered in my part of the city was one uprooted tree in our front lawn. Pics from the badly damaged parts of the city attached.

Wings II
Man, that was long hiatus, eh? It's been months since my last update. Construed broadly, this little project of mine should qualify as a doujin game even though I'm not Japanese. Please read with all your heart.

Also, I'll be blogging about the english visual novel community a lot more from this point on, along with the usual doujin gaming reviews.

Hey Look!
Courtesy of M12 I've been featured in a dlsite interview along with some of my fellow OELVN creators from the lemmasoft forums. Check out lordcloudx interview on dlsite here. Thanks again dlsite and M12.
Warning: In case you haven't noticed. That's a dlsite link and that means, Absolutely Not Safe For Work! That is all.
On the doujin gaming review side of things, I've been a bit busy playing.... gba titles on my psp lately, but don't worry, I plan to add more reviews real soon. (or at least one review before the end of this month)
Also, check out my new gallery of my freeware character and music contributions for the 5th anniversary of lemmasoft.
