Interesting little schmup, nice art and boppin tracks, I can see that with some more time the game could be finished off as a complete toho fangame. The "secondary combat objective" of money for a separate attack was quite cool, would like to see how that could be expanded upon with the way money bags spawn, etc.
Hey, the plot matches the theme. Nothing to say much about it.
The concept of shooting coins to dismantle yellow shields is a cool concept. Liked it, and the first and second bosses were criminally easy. Had fun playing as Green Reimu lol
The art is nice. I like the artstyle, but the music sounds pretty weird for a Touhou fangame. It didn't flow well with me, but it's my opinion, someone else might like it.
Being that it's an Alpha release, the third and fourth bosses don't do anything and the fairies have too much health. The points collected, bullets grazed, and power meter don't reflect the changes shown on the scoreboard. Not even the bombs refill when you try to continue. Hopefully in future I'll get to fight the third and fourth bosses!
