I enjoyed reading this review (and agree with it), but who is it by??

I'm glad you enjoyed the review, Janus. It was written by an online acquaintance of mine. I knew that he had a lot of experience with Bangai-O and he sometimes has been willing to freelance for this site, so I asked him to do so in this case and he agreed. I'm very happy with how the review turned out (and told him so).

"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." - John F. Kennedy on reality

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

Yeah, it's a good review. I think I liked it because it doesn't overdo the "WACKY TREASURE ANTICS" angle or the "omg this is hard" approach that you often get with Bangai-O and shmup reviews. It also does justice to the intensity of the bomb and the level editor. The only thing I would've added would be a bit on the importance of selecting the correct weapons before the stage begins.
