I'm getting the same error. I even tried disabling the leaderboard updater in the options, but that doesn't fix the issue. So far I haven't been able to figure out a way to avoid the error while offline.

Yeah, I disabled the leaderboard as well, but that didn't fix the problem. I hope there is some way to stop that error message.

You create a in-game profile (just entering in your name or online alias, no GOG Galaxy or Steam), and any score that you make in a run you have the option to upload it to the rankings on the server the developer (or publisher) set up (as well as an option to replay it). Pretty much how the Steam version went overall, no Steamworks or anything like that, just an optional connection to their server that was set up for rankings (for multiple versions of the game too). Added an attachment as well (chances are I probably made it higher on there, but I can't remember what name I used for those runs).

You can still play single player (there's no multiplayer) without a connection. I pretty sure it just checks whether or not it's connected and updates the rankings (assuming there are any updates, and you can update them in-game as well when you are connected), and to see what version you're running. It's still annoying though, but you can still play offline just fine (trying it myself).

Thank you for the recommendation. I might give it a try.

Nice, thanks for the info. Off I go to download it. :)

I thought it was just Touhou 14: Double Dealing Character getting a port to English (officially). I absolutely love the Touhou games and it's a good choice (better than Touhou 13), but I don't think any other ones are being done officially as of yet. Either way, you can always get the physical copies from JList/JBox for anyone interested, and for a rather good range of prices too (none higher than $35 and as low as $16 or $19.50).

If they ever came to GOG I would buy them all in half a heart beat, especially if they came with the soundtracks. To those interested I recommend getting your hands on copies if you like Danmaku/Bullet Hell. As others have stated Crimson Clover is another really good one. They aren't easy to come by but I also recommend TouhouVania (Legend of the Scarlet Devil Castle 1 and 2) which are platformers but they are really fun. ^_^

As for this game, I am so tempted and the price can't be beat right now. :P

Yesterday I tried the Revolver demo again and I really cannot find a good way to play this game with a keyboard because there are simply too many buttons to use. Did anybody play this with a keyboard at all and which keys did you use?

I just downloaded the demo and tried a quick round, and used these keys:

D shoot
C laser
S overdrive
A turn left
V turn right

F ok
Z cancel

They work fine enough, but I ended up never using lasers nor overdrive, since it takes a lot of concentration to turn left and right when needed.

Yes! Thank you so much for figuring that out! :) I had no idea why the game kept throwing an error message whenever it didn't detect an internet connection!

After thinking much about it I finally decided to buy the game. I think it is important to notice that this game is quite different (in a good way) from the free demo version. They added quite a lot including a much better keyboard support which made me finally enjoy this game even on keyboard (I don't like controllers - sorry) and a complete English translation.

However at least on XP there is a little bug they did not fix. I have my resolution on 1280x720 and starting the config file in this resolution won't show me the save button to save the changed configurations. This works only works after setting resolution to 1920x1080 for a moment until you have saved the settings.
