Dream Trigger 3D gameplay explained on video
If early gameplay videos for Dream Trigger 3D left you befuddled, we've got good news and bad news. The good news is this detailed walkthrough should clear things up. The bad news is that understanding the mechanics won't make the game any less difficult.
Dream Trigger 3D becomes a reality May 10
D3 Publisher revealed today that its startlingly difficult 3DS shooter Dream Trigger 3D now has an official release date: May 10. Mercifully, the publisher also provided two gameplay videos, which will help you figure out what's going on.
Dream Trigger 3D preview: Bullet hello
D3 Publisher's 3DS launch window title, Dream Trigger 3D, takes the basics of bullet-hell shooters and scrambles them into something unexpected and even more difficult. Well, perhaps I should say it takes a basic of bullet-hell shooters: bullets all over the damn place. The rest is pretty much all new, and crazy. How crazy? Dream Trigger is a shooter in which you can't see the enemy ships, and in which you fire into the screen. %Gallery-118412%
Your first look at 3DS's 'Dream Trigger'
D3 Publisher announced Dream Trigger, a musical 3DS shmup with an interesting "sonar" gimmick, back in December. Today, the publisher finally shared the first screenshots of the Art Co. Ltd.-developed shooter and, well ... it's almost as hard to make sense of these screens as it was of no screens. The images reveal abstract, colorful backgrounds, ranging from glowing circles of unknown composition to some kind of circular city, all covered in diamond-shaped bullets. What looks like the "sonar" effect issues out in two beams from the player ship to locate enemies. With backgrounds like these, it's good you have some kind of tool to highlight the enemies.

D3 Publisher pings 3DS with 'Dream Trigger'
D3 Publisher's first 3DS game is the arcade shooter Dream Trigger, which uses the 3D capabilities of the device for really exciting explosions. Before blasting enemies in the Art Co. Ltd.-developed shooter, you must locate them using sonar. Then, when you do destroy them, they go away in "explosive 3D patterns." 3D also shows up in the "multi-layered environments." No screens have been released yet, so we'll all have to imagine that eye candy for now. And that's too bad, because we're intrigued by the idea of a sonar-based shmup and we'd like to see more. D3 also declined to offer any release date estimates for Dream Trigger.
