I added a new video which shows two players taking on the third stage. I think it shows off very well how fun the two player mode is.
It's a rather large download, but worth it.

The problem with PS is 1) it's ridiculously difficult, 2) you basically have to break the game (max out rank, get infinite lives) if you want to score well, 3) you have to milk everything for about 80 minutes (seriously, that's how long a 1 credit clear lasts with full milking), but the milking is basically just ticking away with your shot on midbosses and bosses, and 4) it's buggy and can randomly freeze in the later levels. Hardly a formula that appeals to most shooting fans.

EOJ wrote:Pink Sweets is a lot of fun if you try and max the rank out and get the infinite lives trick by the end of Stage 3. Which, admittedly, is probably the weirdest way to play any shooter, ever. If you don't do this, the game sucks because it's basically impossible to 1CC unless you do a boring low points, no item pickup play to control the rank.
Score Attack mode is awesome too.
But yeah, MMP is better. Easy to pick up and play, without the atrocious difficulty. Super fun scoring system as well.
EOJ wrote:Ibara and Pink Sweets are not alike in terms of rank. In Pink Sweets you cannot lower the rank, you can only slow its rise. That's a big difference from Ibara and MMP (in both games you can lower the rank by suiciding a few times periodically).
If you want to go for a high score your only option in Pink Sweets is to get the infinite lives trick (get 6 lives total without dying) and then max the rank out and play through to the end. That is not easy, but it's not impossible either.
