History YMMV / CrimzonClover

* ScrappyMechanic: In most modes other than Simple and Boost, when you finish Break Mode part of your bomb/Break gauge is retained. This gets problematic if you are trying to activate Double Break mode, as you might fill the gauge and see the "DOUBLE BREAK STANDBY" prompt, only to press the bomb button a frame or two too late, so instead of Double Breaking you instead waste the gauge firing a bomb as well as some of your Break Rate. Depending on how much Break Mode duration you have left as you approach full gauge, it may be best to forego Double Break instead as it's not worth the risk of the gauge and multiplier penalty as well as wasting one of your defensive options (since exiting either Break Mode cancels all bullets and provides brief invincibility just like entering Break Mode or firing a bomb). This is alleviated in the Arrange modes in ''World [=EXplosion=]'', where exiting either Break Mode fully empties the power meter.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:
** In Stage 5 of the post-doujin versions, as the big door into the enemy stronghold opens up, [[spoiler:you get one of several randomly-picked cryptic messages that includes your name. [[AddressingThePlayer As in, the name on your Steam, Switch, or NESiCA profile]].]] This event can be surprising given [[NoPlotNoProblem the virtually nonexistent plot]], and never gets referenced again afterwards.

* GameBreaker: When [[SuperMode DOUBLE BREAK]] was introduced to the 0.30 trial (the one released at Comiket 78 rather than the earlier 0.20 trial), the developer did not adjust the [[EveryTenThousandPoints extend points]], resulting in hilarious amounts of extra lives. The final version adjusts extends so that you no longer have as many as 10 lives by the end of stage 1.

* BizarroEpisode: Most enemies in this game are machinery of some sort, such as aerial battleships, tanks, and boats. But Stage 3 is the odd-one-out, featuring a whole host of hostile flora and fauna in addition to the usual mecha, such as [[FoulFlower flowers]] and [[SpidersAreScary spiders]] that not only are inexplicably hostile to your ship, but also fire out the usual BulletHell.

* LowTierLetdown: Virtually nobody likes Type-I since Type-Z is basically a boosted version of it.

** The second half of Stage 5 has multiple [[DegradedBoss Degraded Bosses]] from Stages 2 and 3, combined with a ton of enemies that truly makes this a BulletHell title.

* TierInducedScrappy: Once Type-Z is unlocked, either Type-I is a low-tier example for being a weaker version of Type-Z, or Type-Z is a high-tier example for [[GameBreaker making Type-I obsolete]].

** The PC port of ''WEX''[[note]]yep, it's [[RecursiveAdaptation a PC port of a Switch port of a PC port of an arcade adaptation of the PC original]][[/note]] has all the content of the Switch version and fixes the input lag problem of the Switch version. As such, it is regarded by many players as the definitive version of the game.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The Arrange version in ''World [=EXplosion=]'' solves the problem of Type-Z being literally just a more powerful Type-I by getting rid of Type-Z altogether. Instead, Type-I has been buffed to have up to 8 [[AttackDrone options]].

* GameBreaker: When [[SuperMode DOUBLE]] [[UpToEleven BREAK]] was introduced to the 0.30 trial (the one released at Comiket 78 rather than the earlier 0.20 trial), the developer did not adjust the [[EveryTenThousandPoints extend points]], resulting in hilarious amounts of extra lives. The final version adjusts extends so that you no longer have as many as 10 lives by the end of stage 1.

* NightmareFuel: Stage 3. In addition to the usual mechanized threads, you also have literal DemonicSpiders and ants assaulting you, and [[GardenOfEvil killer plants]]. All to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV1B4AlbBA4&feature=related eerie-sounding drum-and-bass music]]. [[HarderThanHard Unlimited Mode]] makes it worse with the [[NintendoHard increased]] [[BulletHell bullet count]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soJT2wDH4kE more oppressive music]]. It's even [[UpToEleven harder]] in World Ignition with it being a common ending point to many 1cc attempts due to being one of the most changed levels from the original game.

* TaintedByThePreview: When ''World [=EXplosion=]'' was announced as a standalone release rather than a DLC add-on, some players were upset that they would have to buy the game all over again. That said once the game was release, most concerns brushed off due to the game having much better performance than ''World Ignition'', which may explain why it simply wasn't made a DLC expansion.
