the game has a hard time with fullscreen, maybe that's because i have 2 of them?

i played it in fullscreen, and then the game crashed when i tried throwing the brother's ultimate attack

It played fine in windowed mode though. Hildegarde is cute and a psycho, Lombard is getting bullied and would rather just get along with everyone i feel. Funny characters. Art is nicer than some DDs ago too

I like being able to aim with Hildegarde. 

I'm not a good bullet hell player, the ice girl made me retry in easy mode, but even there it was hard beating her.

not knowing where your hitbox actually is makes it hard to dodge sometimes, like others have mentionned

I find it amusing that lombard is the easier of the two to use now with his homing shots vs having to manually aim with hildengarde.

I got as far as stage 4 this time before I got hard filtered by the pentragram enemy thing that shoots red bullets towards you. It ended up camping at the bottom right corner of the screen and shot horizontally towards me. Not sure what I could've done there.  Also felt like there was a drop in attack pattern quality between stage 2 and 3.

I had a lot of fun though. As a complete casual to the genre I thought easy mode was pretty fair and I especially appreciate the addition of lives + continues tyvm. The music is nice and I thought the story was charming.

a very cool game, i think it is a good idea how you made the background get darker during the more intense parts of the first fight it made seeing the bullets much easier, during the second stage the ice bullets were blending in a little with the background.

I like that the characters look cute but are kind if violent lol an interesting contrast

the hit box for your character is much smaller than the sprite which I think is good in this kind of game but I had a hard time judging what would hit me, I think if you made the character darker but gave them a bright necklace or something where the hitbox is it would be useful

it took me a little bit to finger out that the spinning cube was a shield but once i did it was very cool and i liked using it

also nice to see a fellow high iq SDL2 chad!

damn, the art of this game seems a lot more polished compared to when i played it the first time.
also, adding a continue makes the game much less frustrating
the final waves of the ice girl were waaay to hard for me though, like the entire screen was filled with projectiles, i had no chance to dodge them.
great job!

Fans of the Touhou Project will feel at home with this one. Many of the core concepts are here. You have a variety of shot types to unleash carnage. Some of the shot types are gimmicky which might be able to be taken advantage of by a skilled player. There's a variety of fun puzzle-like patterns to dodge and there's a satisfying  feeling to learning the patterns and progressively getting better.

However I find that the patterns are a little too simple. I didn't see any that had the intricacy or beauty of some of the Touhou patterns. There's a lot of patterns that are just bullets fired at a straight projectory with a changing starting angle, or just a ring of bullets, or just bullets fired straight at the player. I'm not sure if there was a single pattern I was like "Wow, how was that generated!?". There's also some gimmicky patterns like the square of bullets that breaks down when it hits the floor that you see in the example gif. I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Also you can get through the second half of stage 2 on normal difficulty by standing still which is not good game design.

The bosses need to have health bars. Without health bars you cannot gauge  your progress or get a feel of how more damage higher damaging shot types do. There should be a level select option too.

The graphics harken back to early doujin games where the artwork was cute and dare I say "soulful" but far from professional. One of my gripes with the graphics is that the bullets don't really pop out from the background which makes them hard to see when dodging them. Furthermore, there's this one pattern with the stage 2 boss where snow is used to indicate the direction of the wind but I thought they were bullets at first and tried to dodge the snow. Also many of the enemies are just circles which is just uninspired. I do enjoy looking at this game nevertheless.

As for glitches the game crashed on me a couple of times and I think it was always at the stage 2 boss. I don't know if this is a problem with my PC or the game though. I also fiddled around with the options menu and somehow I had it where the graphics were all shifted to the left making the right side of my screen a black void.

At the time of writting this I made it part of the way through the stage 3 boss on normal difficulty.  If I progress further I might edit this comment. I have many more demos to play through and give feedback on.

Overall, I enjoyed myself with this game. If you're looking to scratch your bullet hell or Touhou itch - this will do it.

Tried my first run using the default skills and without reading anything in the settings menu. It was jarring just being dropped into the game like that without any instruction, it took me a second of scrambling to figure out how to move, shoot, and switch character. I reached the first boss but died, I didn't know how to aim up with the girl for most of the battle so I spent a lot of time doing nothing after the brother died. 

Took a look at the controls before starting my next run, this time it went much better. Killed the first boss with relative ease, but I died very quickly by the ice girl's initial burst. I kept trying until I experienced a crash during the phase where the boss drops the projectile cubes on you: I was under her using the sister, then I used a bomb (white square), which crashed the game. I tried this again and the game crashed again under the same conditions. I went in for a third time, not using the girl this time, and it randomly crashed again. Sucks.

Closing thoughts: the dialogue between the characters is cute, I could get a grasp on what their personalities are like with just a few lines of dialogue. The art is amateur at best but is still very charming, it might even work to your favor considering ZUN. I don't see why I would ever want to use the sister over the brother, considering I have to actually aim with her. I can only assume she does more damage? Anyway, this is a neat little game that I sucked pretty hard at, I can see bullet hell enjoyers liking it.

Not much of a bullet hell/shmup player, didn't even manage to finish Touhou PCB back in the day, so this was pretty challenging for me. I managed to get to the 2nd boss, but died without any continues left when her fight actually started. I think the attack she has with the rows of ice is a bit too tight, but otherwise most patterns would probably be quite reasonable if I could see what my hitbox was.

Didn't work for me, am I missing something?

Not a fan of bullet hell, but your is fun enough that I would recommend to my friends that like them.
