Could it be Bullet-o-tron 2050: Hell in Space Deluxe (now with added bullets)?

it does have a certain japanese bullet curtain arcade shooter feel to it but its not one I've seen

Ah, I'm glad it's a challenge :)

Fifth Touhou game.
Mystic Square.
Mima is a dead giveaway, isn't it?

You're right :> !

Oh yay.
I like PofV the best btw.

GRUNTZ!111

Its from Monolith/Topware, so lets hope it will appear on GOG soon :P And its a strategy/puzzle game, so Weclock wont be crying about lack of puzzle games on GOG.
