Was it ever leaked, by chance?IT was never released in any country. It was completed and a gold copy is gathering dust somewhere, but it was never released.

Color coding worked in Radiant Silvergun, where it felt more like a supplement than a requirement, but I really didn't like it in Ikaruga. Too much of the game was centered around shooting just the right enemy, and that made it tedious.
The whole color-coding thing never did it for me anyway. Whether it's Super Magnetic Neo, Silhouette Mirage, Ikaruga, or any of a number of other games that think it's more clever than annoying, I just can't get into it. Doom's "red key for the red door" is just about as far as I want to see that mechanic taken.

I'm trying to think of an instance of color coding being put to good use...

The 4th stage of Ikaruga is fucking brilliant with the color coding.
What part of the game made you shoot just the right enemy? If you aren't playing for score it doesn't matter. I think most people would argue it is less of a problem in Ikaruga because the scoring isn't tied to your weapons power, like RSG.
If anyone wanted a game that was more dodging and less "tedious scoring", there IS a HARD mode (hello suicide bullets), which everyone conveniently forgets.

I felt just the opposite. Radiant Silvergun was impossible if you didn't chain, since your gun's leveling was tied to chaining. Ikaruga chaining was just for points and totally optional.No dice.
