DeathSmiles, the upcoming iPhone gothic shmup with arguably the most contradictory yet intriguing compound word name seen this week, is back on our radar with some fresh details from the developer.

Bullet hell specialists Cave have revealed an additional game mode, a brand new character, and an absolutely off the chain soundtrack for this Xbox 360 port.

In the iPhone-exclusive mode, you'll play as the curiously named Princess Tiara, battling your way through a plethora of evil witches haunting her otherwise pleasant kingdom of Gilverado.

Cave haven't announced a release date yet for DeathSmiles, but it will be posted on the company's website soon.

One thing is for sure, though, if Cave can maintain its excellent run of iOS shooters - Mushihimesama Bug Panic, Dodonpachi Resurrection, and ESPGALUDA II - then there'll be DeathSmiles all around AppSpy.

Whatever they are.
