Taiko no Tatsujin Omikuji

A simple Amidakuji fortune telling game themed after the Taiko no Tatsujin series, and made to promote its first console installment, Tatacon de Dodon Ga Don.

If a player reached the "great luck" paper, they could download one of ten possible wallpapers, a few of which have since been preserved.

Developer Credit#

Sprite 31, labeled mk, contains a developer credit. The sprite itself is composed of two objects, a button (Button 28), which only uses a shape (Shape 26) and links to the developer's website (http://www.mindkinetics.net), and the text (Text 30), reading "Flash constructed by Shigeru Hasegawa".

Unseen Sprites#

Several sprites appear to the left of what's normally visible:

Sprite 79 appears when most of the game's assets are being loaded. It consists of a white square (Shape 77) with the word "loadchk" inside (Text 78).

Sprite 116 plays the music heard during the game's explanation screens, as well as after Don-chan has finished the amidakuji path. It displays the contents of Text 114, which reads "♪全般" (general).

Similarly, Sprite 532 plays the music heard when Don-chan is going through the amidakuji path. It displays the contents of Text 530, which reads "♪進行中" (in progress). Given how late both these assets and their associated music file are in the file system, it was likely a late addition.
