Clean Asia! was in another gaming magazine. This time an american one, called "Games for Windows" and I managed to pirate a copy :D
I was also recently featured on Arsecast, a nice and quite famous little podcast about independent games. The host used his witty humour to make fun of most of the games he mentioned, one of the few exception was CA! which he seemed to like a lot. This was quite pleasant and unexpected.You can listen to it on http://www.arsecast.com/, they start mentioning the Shmup-Dev games at around 11:00 and get to Clean Asia! around 12:45. For those who don't want to download the huge file (which I definitely think is worth both the listen and download), I transcribed some of the good bits:

Considering this is a bit of a bullet hell game, and that the graphics are abstract neon lines, I'm surprised at just how much I'm enjoying it. I mean I'm not any good at it by any means, I've only just beaten the first level, but I've been enjoying banging my head against the difficulty level because the game feeds back to you so well. The only real faults are that sometimes enemy bullets are obscured by your own pyrotechnics but is not a deal breaker by any means because of how great the rest of the package is. This is one of those rare games that are so addictive that you're actually annoyed about how long it takes to say "Game Over", because you just want to start a new game as soon as possible, I can't recommend it enough.
Really, really nice job. You deserve it.
Congratulations. ^_^
Why haven't you submited CA here? >:(Because I was hoping to update it. I still need to fix at least one bug before it's "complete".
Hey dude, I forgot what I wanted to say… :)

No way! That was YOUR game? I get that magazine, I saw the game. Didn't know it was you.
