Those who are new to Touhou, its a shmup.
Aka a game where you control a vehicle (in this case, a girl (in this case, a loli)) that always shoots upwards and enemies fly in and try to kill you with their 2d bullet patterns that can get extremely confusing.
Hopefully you will find it entertaining, or at least find the music entertaining since that is something apart from the game itself that many can enjoy.
Those who aren't new,
1. Old bomb system has been put back into commission,
2. Same life system as SA in effect except now only three life fragments make a life,
3. UFO SYSTEM!!!: collect three of one type or one of each of the three colors to summon a huge ufo.
-if not killed after 10 seconds, the ufo flies off the screen
-if a boss is present, ufo flies off screen regardless of time left
-before destroying the ufo, feed it point and power which it will automatically suck up when you kill enemies who drop them
-reds drop life fragments, blues drop points and go up to 8x multiplier, greens drop bombs
-destroying the ufo will clear bullets according to how full it is (filled clears screen)
4. Sanae playable O.O
5. I found it much more fun than Subterranean Animism, and so have many others
Side note: My blind lunatic run got me to first stage endboss where i anticlimactically died three times in a row to her third spell card.
Edit: FULL version released as of yesterday: [url blocked]
UFO is so funny, after seeing brofist i didn't expect stage 4 to be just as visually ridiculous in terms of danmaku shapes rofl
Since its another touhou in a sense, I give you as well touhou 12.3: 東方非想天則 (Touhou Hisoutensoku), the next Tasofro fighting touhou game. I'm not entirely sure why they changed the scheme from x.5 to x.3, though.
[url blocked]
Also: the reason why there are so few characters is because hisoutensoku is both an add-on to SWR and a stand-alone game.
So, if you have SWR, you can play all the characters from SWR and all those ones now playable in hisoutensoku (CIRNO!!!). If not, you only get like 8 characters or something.

@x89titan: Tohou games are relatively accessible, where patterns are not THAT bad and there is still some flexibility to recover. Cave makes some of the best games in the genre. You linked a video of Mushihimesama Futari, but they have more "accessible" games like ESPGaluda.
If anyone likes the games, please, support ZUN. It is not that hard to buy legit copies. Palet Web carries them at relatively decent prices.

Holy crap. And I thought Ikaruga was something.
|
Ikaruga isn't that tip of the iceberg hahaha
|
Damnit, you got me so addicted to this, I downloaded older versions too. I'm going to blame you if my eyes start to bleed ><

Shootan games are so awesome on seimitsu sticks.
|
Like, how do I shoot Q_Q. It says 0 and 1 but they're not working ;_; also I'd like to change them to ctrl and shift.

You can't change controls unless using a joypad (or wired xbox 360 controller like i do).
The 0 and 1, etc. apply to joypad buttons.
Shoot using z and bomb using x,
Slow your movement (helps to dodge some patterns) and change shot with shift.

or find a key switcher program thing

If anyone wants to see the replay of the first stg 1-3 lunatic clear I've seen so far,
http://replay.royalflare.net/replay/th12_ud6481.rpy
Stage 3 really does look ridiculously hard for STAGE 3...
Its pretty obvious he didnt know how to do much of stage 3, which is why he went mostly bomb ufos to prepare for it.
But he still completed (with heavy bomb abuse on the latter half of st 3, that is)

I blew the last day on this when I realized that Reitaisai was over the weekend, bah at this new system. When I first saw the screens I thought we were going back to the good old days 
ZUN needs to balance death though, currently 0 reason to go get the life fragment UFOs, bombs got strictly better without reset of bomb/link to power.

why does mine crash everytime?
|
these games are kicking my ass =(
