Kioh Gyoku (稀翁玉) is the second game in the Seihou Project, produced by Amusement Makers and Shunsatsu sare do?.
Gameplay
Kioh Gyoku is a vertical danmaku shooting game with massive emphasis on grazing streaming bullets, where two characters engage in danmaku gameplay within individual and separate play areas (aka. split-screen). Upon meeting certain conditions, players are able to unleash a variety of character-specific attacks upon their opponents in an attempt to whittle down their remaining health points.
In Story Mode, the player will face six opponents, each more capable than the previous. Kioh Gyoku also features a Match Play Mode where the player may face off against AI opponents or compete against other players, as well as watch AI vs. AI matches.
Concept
Kioh Gyoku may have been based on the same vein of Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream. Also, some of the art in this game was done by ZUN, where he only drew Yuuka Kazami.
Name
The name 稀翁玉 is named after the Japanese-translated name of a cactus, copiapoa krainziana.
Story
Music
The music of this game includes 10 tracks composed by ZUN. It's the first ever time ZUN didn't use MIDI, or even FM (Frequency Modulation) Synthesis for this game because he used PCM (Pulse-code modulation) instead that's in a .wav format. Each theme (apart from the title theme) is designed for one of the player characters specifically, due to the nature of the game.
Later on, ZUN created an arrange of "Lovely Mound of Cherry Blossoms ~ Flower of Japan" (桜花之恋塚 ~ Flower of Japan) and "Enigmatic Doll ~ God Knows" (エニグマティクドール ~ God Knows) and added them to Dolls in Pseudo Paradise, where "Enigmatic Doll ~ God Knows" was renamed to just エニグマティクドール.
