Deathsmiles Mega Black Label

Deathsmiles Mega Black Label is CAVE's 2008 revision of Deathsmiles, a horizontally scrolling bullet hell in which the player fires to the left and right with a familiar trailing behind and takes damage against a life meter rather than losing a life outright. The revision adds Sakura as a playable character, an additional extra stage, and a Level 999 difficulty setting with its own true last boss, Bloody Jitterbug, reached only by clearing all six Chapter and Verse stages at that level plus both extra stages and the final stage without continuing. It also raises the item threshold for entering power-up mode to 500 and makes the item counter easier to read.
