Tomoyo Fighter

I remember when *all* games used to be 2D side scrollers ^^;
Stumbled onto this at Fakku - Tomoyo runs around beating people up for some reason. Hatsune Miku also appears in it. The whole game available here.
I'm guessing this is a doujin game and wonder how many of you play them. Do you have any recommended ones?

And as for game type - I do get bored of the running-around-looking-for-exit/object 3D FPS type games which is why I appreciate the NDS so much for its 2D games.
Are you still be playing 2D games?

My fave clannad girl? Dont be asking difficult questions ^^;

I recommend the Melty Blood Franchise as a good game I love how quick the fights can be and how pretty the graphics are.

  I can agree with that. I got to try my hands at it once and got soundly thrashed by the A.I.

    is that version the one downloaded from Fakku?
    
    It seems to be a little different than the version I have (char select screen: http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/1525/characterselectgh5.jpg), and the problem that my version has is this: http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/4326/mikumalasw3.jpg, Miku's sprite is bad so I can't play with her T_T, if it is then I'll just have to redownload the game.
    
    Anyway, it's amazing that I have this game for a while now, and never even though about running it with applocale (I don't have my windows setting to Japanese neither, as my computer is shared between three brothers).

  actually i believe that bear is the mascot suit that tomoyo is often seen with. though it's a spoiler to who is actually in that suit in the game. i think it is stage 9 though.

I told myself I'd never play this game, since the initial appeal will wear off and I'd get bored of it anyways.

Tempted though.

I've been playing this game for awhile, pretty fun. I find it really repetitive though, since is basically just the same stuff over... and over... and over again. Still fun once in awhile though.

You should try Touhou danmaku games, like Perfect Cherry Blossom or Mountain of Faith. They are really difficult & addicting.

  The first thing you need to do after you get the game started is to configure the joypad controls. Just click the joypad drop down up top and use this chart to set the buttons:

It's a great game, beat it on easy mode though... If I'm in the mood I'll raise the difficulty.
Played with Miku character and beat it in 36 minutes using 1 credit. Not really a challenge. Don't know how to unlock characters and stuff though.
