From Arcadia Magazine #55 Dec 2004

*Mushihimesama developer comments translated*

With the main character being a girl, we started designing her with the straightforward image of a sailor uniform. At first, we planned to make her shy and cute, but at the instant we added voice, we felt like this was broken in a good way.
-Kotani Tomoyuki

The motif is bugs, living mecha. I did my utmost to design them using lines from insects that most people are relatively familiar with, while still paying attention to make them look like the huge creatures that the Koujuu are (seems like I managed to mix in a few things that are not insects too, but...). The thing I really tried to make sure was that the characteristic evil looks of insects were not left out. I don't know about you, but I think I was successful. I would like to take this opportunity to say that I'm happy if I manage to reduce somebody's disgust for bugs.

Deathsmiles Megablack Label 1CC easy route demo with Sakura, Cave arcade PCB (2008)

CAVE PCB 2013-01-27 | Deathsmiles Megablack Label 1CC with Sakura. This is a demo of trying to go the easiest route to a clear, or at least one of them. There is actually another way to go where you get another extra player and so on. This game is odd in that depending on the route choices you make, it can go from being literally the easiest Cave game ever made to clear (as shown in this video) to one of the hardest (search for a superplay of it to see an example). So for example if you choose level 999 difficulty on all the stages and also go to both of the extra optional levels, the clear difficulty is just insane. In fact just adding in the 2 extra levels makes the overall clear difficulty 100X harder.
