Blast Works Depot, the official site for uploading and trading user-created Blast Works content, is now online (despite the game's current lack of availability). Rather than creating a fancy new corporate-designed website, Majesco worked with an existing Wii community website, It's kind of a brilliant idea -- (some) Wii owners are already used to sharing content on Mii Plaza, and Blast Works content now uses the same interface for trading levels, enemies, ships, bullets, and shapes. Oh, except you can upload and download directly from inside the game. Now all we need is for the game to come out, and for other people to buy it and create interesting things!

I know I'm going to buy this game on day one, but I also know I'm not going to be able to play it a couple weeks, possibly months. There just isn't enough time. But because I've followed this game for while now, I feel I have to buy the game.
Though, I just can't shake the feeling that this game is going to bomb and bomb hard. I hope I'm wrong, I really do, because this is a really cool idea.

You can play the original game where this is based from, Tumuki Fighters, which is freeware. Just no customizable content. It's a pretty good SHMUP, love the idea.
Actually, from what I hear, Tumuki Fighters is an unlockable game inside Blast Works, as other Kenta Cho works Gunroar, Torus Troopers, and rRootage (ESPECIALLY rRootage).
I would actually just buy the game to play rRootage (despite all of these being released as freeware over the internet); it contains 5 different modes, like an Ikaruga-style mode (Yes, that means polar-switching mechanism is present) or standard bullet-hell SHMUPs. It's like icing to a piece of cake.
