Pink Sweets: Ibara Sorekara (ピンクスゥイーツ ~鋳薔薇それから~, Pinku Suītsu: Ibara Sorekara, abbreviated: PS) is a bullet hell shoot-em-up developed by CAVE in 2006. In terms of story, this game is a sequel to Ibara.
Pink Sweets was later ported to the Xbox 360 in 2011, included in a double-pack with Muchi Muchi Pork!.
Contents
Gameplay Overview
Controls
Pink Sweets is a 2-button game in normal play, with an 8 directional joystick for movement.
- Not shooting will build up your Shield and charge your Rose Cracker. 142 frames after the last regular Shot from your ship, the Rose Cracker Gauge is fully charged.
- A: 1) Fires your Shot & Rose Hips. However, pressing the button fast enough will raise the internal autofire rate; 2) In case your Rose Cracker Gauge is fully charged, you will additionally release a Rose Cracker.
- B (press): Cycles through your Rose Hip Formations, if you have any collected on your current life. Cycling between: Forward, Wide, Back, Reverse & Turn in that order.
- B (hold): Fires your Rose Hips only.
- A+B (press): 1) Changes your speed; 2) The current charge of the Rose Cracker Gauge is cancelled.
In-Game HUD
1) Rose Cracker Gauge. When fully charged you'll be able to release a Rose Cracker
2) Speed meter. There are 4 different levels of speed
3) Internal auto-fire rate (#10, #12, #15, #20, #30)
Characters
Each character has 4 different sub-types to choose from. These types usually have slightly different attacks from Shot Level 1 onwards. Shot Level 0 is the same for each type. The types are decided by which button you press when you select a character: A, B, A+B, and Start.
The 4 types of each character and their Rapid Shot as well as their Wide Shot at Shot Level 3 are as follows.
Speed
There are four levels of speed you can switch to by pressing A+B anywhere in the game. In terms of speed, Meidi&Midi and Shasta are both faster than Kasumi and Lace. The speed values in the table below are measured by counting the frames it takes to cross the screen horizontally. Therefore, a high value corresponds to a slower speed and a low value to a faster speed.
Speed 0 | Speed 1 | Speed 2 | Speed 3 | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Meidi&Midi | 140 | 105 | 71 | 53 |
Shasta | ||||
Kasumi | 171 | 128 | 86 | 64 |

Rank
There are two separate settings affecting the base rank and rank progression in Pink Sweets. Difficulty 1 determines the starting rank as well as the minimum rank cap. After the player has started a run, the rank is then gradually increasing determined by difficulty 2, which is the per frame rank increase. Under normal circumstances the game always starts with a base rank 1,048,576 (100,000 in hex) higher than the minimum rank cap. Starting a game in Special Version always begins at minimum rank.
Difficulty 1 (base rank) | Starting rank in dec (hex) | Minimum rank in dec (hex) |
---|---|---|
Super Easy | 15,204,352 (E80,000) | 16,252,928 (F80,000) |
Very Easy | 14,680,064 (E00,000) | 15,728,640 (F00,000) |

Notes:
- Rank maxes out at 00,000,000 (000,000 in hex) regardless of the difficulty settings.
- Starting rank for Score Attack mode is the same as on Normal.
- Minimum rank cap for Extended mode is 11,010,048 (A80,000 in hex) on loop 1 and 8,257,536 (7E0,000 in hex) on loop 2 on default difficulty settings.
Both the overall rank and the per frame rank are influenced by certain actions of the player, e.g. firing your Shot or picking up an item. All of the actions that have an effect on rank are listed in the tables below. Even though, an increase in difficulty is actually measured by a decreasing rank counter, the numbers below are listed as if the rank counter would count up. This is simply to make things easier to follow.
Action | Rank increase in dec (hex) |
---|---|
Death from 0 lives > Game Over | -2,097,152 (-200,000) |
Death from 1 life > 0 lives | -1,048,576 (-100,000) |
Death from 2 lives > 1 life | -524,288 (-80,000) |
Death from 3 lives > 2 lives | -262,144 (-40,000) |
Death from 4 lives > 3 lives | -131,072 (-20,000) |
Death from 5 lives > 4 lives | -65,536 (-10,000) |
Death while on infinite lives | -1,048,576 (-100,000) |
Death during Score Attack mode | -524,288 (-80,000) |

Absorb a bullet w/ Shield or RC | 16 (10) |
Shoot a destructible bullet | 16 (10) |
Seal a bullet | 1,024 (400) |
Notes:
- Simply pressing the A or B button has no effect on rank. It is only the action that counts.
- Grazing enemy bullets has no effect on rank.
- Absorbing enemy lasers with your Rose Cracker has no effect on rank.
