EPTThe Hakurei shrine was destroyed (again - original, right?) by MYSTERIOUS WAVES. Oooh, so scary! You choose from four playable characters: Reimu, Marisa, Aya, or Sanae. But that's not the end! Each character has two shot types, which come in the form of partners. When you focus, it'll be the partner you selected who fires, just like in Touhou 8: Imperishable Night. (A lot of the mechanics for this game are nicked from IN.) Here is the list of pairs and shot types.
If you selected Reimu, your partners are either...
Tenshi who will give you the traditional homing amulet shot for unfocused while her focused shot is infinite-penetration forward-focus red lasers fired from keystones.
Spells:
Boundary: Expanding Boundary - similar to Yukari's bombs from IN
Swordplay: Sword of Swagger - a red slash
Final Spells:
Fantasy Heaven - a giant blue yin-yang sign that explodes in a pink flash
Scarlet Weather Rhapsody - huge red laser
OR
Suika who will give you the forward-focusing type sealing needle shot for unfocused while her focused shot is a small spread; four lines of blue fiery bullets (two in the front and one each on a diagonal) fired from miniature versions of herself.
Spells:
Spirit Sign: Fantasy Orb - I think you all know this one
Ignis Fatuus - burst of blue fire
Final Spells:
Jewel Sign: Concealed Orbs of Light - more powerful version of Fantasy Orb but with yin-yang orbs
Kidnapping Oni - huge black hole that clears all bullets on the screen
If you selected Marisa, your partners are either...
Alice who will give you a spread of green stars as your unfocused shot while her focused shot is four differently colored lasers all on diagonals that fire from dolls around her.
Spells:
Love Sign: Master Spark - if you don't know this one, I'm scared
Curse Sign: Shanghai Doll - purple and white laser
Final Spells:
Star Sign: Dragon Meteor - big rainbow meteor
Crimson Sign: Holland Doll - cross-shaped red laser
OR
Mima who will give you four infinite-penetration lasers as your unfocused shot while her focused shot is a thick, solid blue and green laser.
Spells:
Star Sign: Meteoric Shower - again I'm pretty sure you know this
Twilight Spark - a black Master Spark basically
Final Spells:
Comet: Blazing Star - blue stars cover the whole screen
Ultimatum: Resurrection Spark - the biggest and most blinding laser ever
If you selected Aya, your partners are either...
Momiji who will give you piercing forward-focus red triangle bullets as your unfocused shot while her focused shot is a fan of spinning red maple leaves.
Spells:
Crow Sign: Dark Daymere - little crows fly around and annihilate bullets
Wolf Sign: Vicious Bite - horizontal red slash
Final Spells:
Illusionary Dominance - Aya runs back and forth across the screen, obliterating everything in a red flash
Flowing Sign: Autumn Waterfall - big waterfall fills the whole screen
OR
Hatate who will give you a red spray-type spread as your unfocused shot while her focused shot is a very large fan of purple/pink hearts.
Spells:
Wind Sign: Wind of the Tengu Path - basically a tornado
Amethyst Sign: Jewel of Crown - a barrage of amethysts
Final Spells:
Tornado: Indication to the Divine - a BIGGER tornado
Violet Sign: Phantom Crow - a ghostly purple crow fills the whole screen
If you selected Sanae, your partners are either...
Suwako who will give you forward-focus rainbow lasers as your unfocused shot while her focused shot is a spread of frog-shaped bullets.
Spells:
Wave-Call - waves of water blast away enemies and bullets
Native God: Master Longlimbs - rainbow lasers in an X shape
Final Spells:
Esoterica: Nine-Character Pierce - rainbow lasers in a grid shape
Spring Sign: Horrid River Jade - a big river washes away everything on screen
OR
Kanako who will give you a wide spread of blue and red star shaped bullets as your unfocused shot while her focused shot is white snake-like lasers.
Spells:
Omikuji Barrage - essentially, fireworks
Snake Sign: Sky Serpent - a big snake pattern clears part of the screen
Final Spells:
Miracle: Mid-Day Supernova - white blasts of light
Onbashira - two big pillars of wood crash down and clear the whole screen
Whew! Your mission, for whatever reasons your character might have, is to find the culprit who destroyed the Hakurei Shrine. This will end in a battle far above the clouds where only the stars will witness you...descriptions of the bombs are now up; below is a list of what we need.
1. People who know what they're doing with Danmakufu, because seriously we don't XD
2. Back-sprites for Tenshi, Suika, Momiji, Hatate, Suwako, Kanako, and Mima.
3. Portraits for all characters because I'm neurotic about all the artwork looking the same
4. A way to customize bombs and shot types; this probably goes along with number one.
Anyone who wants to lend a hand, feel free to contact me through TL because I'm really not sure if I can pull this off with just myself and Michael.
