The second, of what could hopefully be a long line of unofficial Strike Witches shooting games, has been released. It is a vertically scrolling shoot ‘em up in the modern style of Touhou and the like, and quite entertaining, so give it a try if you are so inclined. I have also included the first, which is a side scroller, more basic, but with more pantsu.
The most recent game is mirrored here.
Instructions: unzip and run the exe. For best results, play with a joypad, but if you are lacking one, you can also play with the arrow keys and the ‘Z’ key (fire). ‘V’ pauses, enter goes fullscreen, and escape quits.
The complete controls:
A: Shoot.
B: Magic Shield (usable with the gauge at max, replenishes naturally, faster when not firing).
L: Speed up while button is pressed.
R: Speed down.
The game’s official homepage is here, as well as the offical download, with the creator going by the name of モリハマカルテ / Morihamakarute.
The first, but more basic, game is now lost in the oblivion 2ch threads go to, but I have managed to rescue a copy, which you are welcome to download here.

What about the first? Is it available?
I managed to dig up a copy, which I have updated the post with.
Thanks for that. This kind of short little distraction is exactly what I'm looking for.
nice, I'll be trying these out. haven't finished the anime yet
omg it takes 3 or max 4 minute to complate all stage ... Anyways, short game but very enjoyable.
Nice find! Great to see fans still loving SW, even after it's over.
Was able to play both games smoothly, but the STG game should of have a secondary firing mode(Like Shift on Touhou), since spamming shields and hastily dodging bullets won't keep you alive forever.
Is there any playing guide? Or is the generic arrow key movements with fire and shield buttons all there is?
I just read the docs for you, and updated the post again.
Awesome, thanks. :)
Thanks so much for posting this. ^^
I assume fire, magic shield, and pause are the only controls? We got 3 Witches so I wonder if we can switch Witches or they're just following Miyafuji :P
See the updated post, there are also speed controls.
I can't seem to start the game,it gives me error..please advice.
Update your DirectX drivers.
Man I suck so hard at this game!
Would be loads easier if I had a joystick.
Almost feels like I'm letting the cute mecha musumes down :(
How do you start the first one?
I can't seem to make it start
I seem to have the same problem, there seems to be an error when pressing "s" in the menu
I have been playing the second over and over for a while now, thanks Artefact for digging this up
Same here. I also can't start up the first one. I want my ever-huggable Erica Hartmann. ;-;
I played this game for like, 5 minutes, then went back to playing Psyvariar.
I don't think anyone reasonably expects it to compare with a commercial title, or with the likes of Touhou.
For what it is, it is a more than convincing effort, though I'd be interested to see what an official title would hold...
Here is a short gameplay video made by me.
