This is likely because us WINE users need to include the .dll in the game directory. The one you need is d3dx9_43.dll.
Thanks for the tip. I got TD working now.
Loving the music and its more aggressive drumset.
The new soul system is quite interesting - so now intentional suicides are going to be a key strategy?
Strange that the illustration style is a lot more simple than that of UFO. On the other hand, I'm kind of liking it a bit (at least for Youmu anyways).
Played Stage 1, and I was not surprised at all that
given the background.
EDIT: Youmu is a hell of a lot of fun.
Also, except for activating Youmu's charged shot, what does the Trance button do?
EDIT2: This game is indeed quite easy and slow-going. Bring on the VSync patch so I can play at 75FPS (90 is too much ATM)!
