I really dig the artstyle, music and story! It's really fun and entertaining. One thing I wish was present is the soundeffects, not sure if it was me or the game, but I couldn't hear any of the shooting. If you ever do an update hopefully the SFX, really interested in what is to come!

fun shmup! i haven't played many games of this genre, but was enjoying what i saw here. the enemies/bosses are really detailed! i think the only thing missing here was a bit more juice (sound effects or other indicators that you landed a hit/got hit would be nice).
Presentation is on point! Which makes no SFX bizarre, but I'll just chop that up to design considerations and game jam stuff. Really hard too, but very satisfying!
This game is so cute! The artwork and music are spot on. The controls are smooth. It would be nice to have a visual hit indicator on the enemies (i.e. a blink effect or color change) when they take damage. I thought my shots weren't hurting them for the longest time because I couldn't see any difference. I would also recommend putting the music on a continuous loop so it isn't as obvious when the track ends and begins again. This game really nails the bubbly anime vibe and I love the concept overall. Great work to everyone involved!
So fun and incredibly cohesive presentation, really nice work!!
A very cute and nice little shmup. It's a bit sad that the soundtrack doesn't really loop, but that just a nitpick. Everything is really well done.
It got a bit repetitive after a while, but this is just for a GameJam after all. Very nice!
Super cute and fun! It’s a Touhou-like 2D shooting game where you have to weaken yourself in order to progress. However, since the enemy and boss patterns stay the same, you gradually get used to them, making it possible to adapt and win despite getting weaker—really well designed.The poppy and cute design and music are great, and I also love the student-themed enemies.
The name Tsuyoko is so straightforward that it’s amusing. Also, I didn’t expect to see the Japanese word Joshiryoku (女子力) here!
all the tsuyokos i encountered were very cute. best girl. the art is extremely good, cute, and professional. the song is a banger but it did get repetitive after playing so long. i would've liked sound effects in the game. the concept of having to choose a power to lose is so damn good, great job thinking of that one. the gameplay is a lot of fun. i kinda suck at bullet hells so i got stuck at biker tsuyoko unfortunately, so i didnt get to see her confess her love to MC-kun properly. btw, what the hell did MC-kun to get this wonderfully cute and very powerful girl to love him like this?
Very cool style of game that isn't explored too much and there are some really quality assets in here that would benefit from the additional polish of animations, looped music, and sfx. Really nice overall!
YESS! I love the losing power to progress! Huge fan! Such cute art to boot! Such a fun experience! Loved the different Universes too! Great Job guys!
Very adorable Shoot 'em-up game, I'm usually not too much of a fan of Touhou games, but this one was somewhat on the easier side, I didn't find it to be too difficult, It wasn't completely easy but I had fun with it. The gameplay was smooth and the visuals were very pretty, everything felt so warm cute. Overal I think this was a competent game and I had no issues while playing it :)
Y'all were right, if I liked Touhou I WOULD like this game. Very faithful to the genre it's pulling from, aesthetically beautiful and really fun trying to work within the attach patterns. Importantly, bullets also aren't autokill which allows for way more room to breathe and enjoy the game. The theme inversion is also a nice touch. GG!
Oh hell yes, I love Touhou, I love shmups and this was just the perfect game for me to play! The twist of the game where you have to give up some of your power to get on your husbando's level is pretty clever and I really enjoyed the stages with the enemy speed up debuff. The boss patterns can feel a little samey and I miss the sound effects and feedback of my shots landing at enemies and vice versa, but what's there is more than impressive, shmups are really hard to make in such a short time frame. Well done!
Very cool, cute and all-together a fun experience! I'm not a fan of bullet hells and I enjoyed this game! I think you did a great job!
Insanely beautiful artwork! Just wish there was more player feedback, like some particle effects, screenshake, or sound effects.
