Hi U.S.S., thanks for the recommendation. Added to the list. I tend to favor sprites over this hand-drawn Unity-engine look, but that tune in the trailer is irresistible, so I'll nab this in a sale.

As for distinguishing types of tate support, yeah, I hear you, but when I started this I hadn't thought that far ahead, so I'm kind of stuck with the TATE tag (it STILL hasn't caught on, but I work in the industry, so I'll have a little word with Valve, maybe I can pull some strings and make it more official. I have no idea what the threshold is to make a tag official). In my review blurbs I always distinguish between 'real' tate vs 'fake' tate, so I've got us covered. There are still few enough games with tate mode support on Steam that making this a manual endeavor is a viable option, until a glorious future when we're suddenly flooded with thousands of vertically scrolling shmups all with native screen rotation...
