Asakura! P is a side-scrolling 2D hardcore action platformer developed by Somiso and released at Comiket 80. At a price point of only 1200 yen (15 dollars), it boasts 20+ hours of insidiously difficult, yet delightfully refined gameplay, and is certain to be a worthy addition to the library of any gamer who appreciates a solid, skill-based challenge.
Note: Not recommended for anyone who does not find attractive the prospect of seeing a game over screen thousands of times.
Installation:
Extract ZIP archive to a folder of choice, point an English patch to that folder, run AssaCrip_en.exe to play the game. If BMP files get garbled filenames on extraction, 5.79MB one is ジャケット.bmp, 5.56MB one is レーベル.bmp
AssaCriP_20110906.zip update that's available on the official website is already applied, so the Japanese version doesn't need it and the English one doesn't use it anyway.
