Greetings, I’m a random guy wanting to preserve, share and spread awareness of this awesome and great game series. It would be sad for it to be lost to time forever would it not? This is an old series from back in time from Japan. Physical copies exists on earth too.
eXceed 2nd ver 1.03 and 3rd ver “1005” in english. You menu navigate with arrow keys and click with z, x , c, v , b, you can check the in-game action keys in the game menu key config settings.
R.I.P eXceed series. A danmaku/bullet hell series.

It is safe to assume that the original circle has dissolved, Flat/Tennen-Sozai seem to be in the grave. And developer has dropped out of contact with publisher Nyu Media so they’re unable to hand over publishing to them. As such, Nyu Media has delisted the eXceed series titles from Steam on January 6th 2023
A thanks to “Xerxes” on Steam for the following interesting information:
"There were actually plans for a FOURTH eXceed game according to a blog post:
http://flatsoftware.blog.shinobi.jp/未選択/イクシードシリーズ英語版について
It even includes screenshots of the game while it was in development. That post dates back to 2011"
Xerxes original post can be found in the comments to the Steam delisting announcement.
Seems like the last activity from Flat/Tennen-Sozai that I personally found while digging is the following update history from the (obsolete??) Flat-Software website (site link further below)(Google translated):
"2018.08.09
Social RPG “Labyrinth Kenbu” pre-registration is now being accepted!
We are now accepting pre-registrations for the quick and easy non-authentic RPG [Meikyu Kenbu] from “DMM” and “Nijiyome”. Please look forward to it!

Again, a thanks to Xerxes for finding a lot of information, including the homepages http://flat-software2.com, http://www.tennen-sozai.com/index.htm (now gone) and the blog http://flatsoftware.blog.shinobi.jp
If anyone got any information or comments, please share :)

I wish I had the first game eXceed - Gun Bullet Children. I didnt buy it when it was listed since it has mixed reviews and no english support. https://store.steampowered.com/app/207370/eXceed__Gun_Bullet_Children/?curator_clanid=33008586

All three games were on sale before getting delisted for 5 euro. So I do have them on Steam. I don’t know why since I’ve never played a bullet hell game.

Delisted just means they aren’t available for sale anymore but those who bought them can still download them otherwise they have to give out refunds to anyone who purchased them before.
I had completely forgotten about this, while the first game didn’t have an official English release there is a patch to make it English here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=187462763 and this guide still works, and the patch is still available for download.

Anyone know where to download the game and compatible with the patch provided by Shaun ^^
Thanks for saving this! I will download this and preserve for sure!
Shaun
Note: I own all 3 games I just forgot to mention that before, I wouldn’t know how to share a copy of the first game.
