Re tarde llegaba pero igual quería felicitarlos por ser premiados como el mejor juego de la 6ª Touhou Jam, así como aportar mi granito de arena con alguna que otra crítica.

Siempre pensé que el estilo artístico de Kevin se re presta para un juego de vista lateral y he aquí la prueba. La verdad que se disfrutan mucho los diseños de los personajes y la ambientación del escenario con todos esos detallitos muy característicos de él.

Por el lado de la jugabilidad, todos mencionan Ikaruga pero, como yo nunca lo jugué, para mí esto fue como algo nuevo y las mecánicas de intercambiar de personaje para sacarle provecho al "zapping" de Iku y los espadazos de Tenshi, así como esquivar balas de ciertos colores, las encontré bastante natural. Los controles responden bien y se nota. Más allá de lo largo que puede ser el boss, no diría que es taaan difícil como para no pasarlo en un par de intentos (a menos que uno sea medio manco, como yo(?)). Quizás sí habría servido que hubiera más enemigos durante el stage, como para mantener el contador de combo. Como mejora, sugeriría que la duración del aturdimiento que fuese (bastante) menor. Tal vez también le agregaría más variedad que cada personaje se mueva a una velocidad diferente y/o que el tamaño de sus hitbox sean distintos.

Y ya por el lado musical, aunque muchos decían que suena muy tranqui o que le falta el aspecto "acción", a mí me gustó. Supongo que igual es medio parcial lo mío porque me gusta el temita de Miko, de por sí...

Y bueno. Re grosso el laburo que hicieron y realmente tiene potencial más que suficiente para ser un juego comercial cuando llegue el momento y que le vaya re bien. ¡Fuerza con la versión completa!

AWESOME art and very good gameplay!

Dang, this was super high quality in every regard! I love the wacky art, silly writing, and the way they worked together to create this fun cartoon atmosphere. Also, the gameplay was really solid and is now my favorite use of the theme in this jam.

Kevin Arthur's art is top notch, but in this case, is sad to see it was quite pixelated, not that it looks bad, but it looses quite the detail, as if it wasn't meant to be pixel art from the beginning, nonetheless they still add so much personality to the characters, it's so good.

Gameplay is nice, but Iku's shots were too slow, I really wanted to see more speed on those, Tenshi on the other hand feels just right, and the combo action while switching characters feel so natural that this almost doesn't feel like an ikaruga clone xD, plus, nice difficulty setting and variety on danmaku, good job there.

Music was, kinda lazy, quite slow for a shmup, not the hype type, more like relaxing, but with all those bullets it doesn't mix well xD.

This gave me a Gameboy Advance vibe that I just love too much, so thanks for that.

nice

Really nice for a jam, the artwork looks really damn good but I had trouble seeing bullets and my hitbox at times, the ikaruga style system wasn't immediately obvious to me either for whatever reason (personal problem maybe)

Every aspect of this game is fantastic, and not just in the context of a game jam. I only wish we had gotten to see the Seiga furby in the end. My score was 261079, in case anyone wants to compete.

It's a known difficulty to implement melee attacks well in shmups, but I think this game did a good job. The first kind of enemy you encounter (aimed single bullets at regular intervals) was a bit tricky to approach melee range against, but it was fine after I got used to the range of Tenshi's sword. I ended up using Tenshi for most of the first half of the boss fight, and it felt like a reasonable risk-vs-reward to go into melee range for more damage.

A minor complaint is that perhaps a too large part of the score is gained on the last boss attack. Perhaps it should also be possible to maintain a combo throughout the entire stage? It looked like there was a section without enemies were the player has to drop their combo. Is this good or bad design? I don't know, but perhaps something to think about.

Thank you so much for making this, I had a lot of fun playing it.

Steep learning curve but... wow. That was fantastic on almost every level. The switching mechanic creates extremely unique gameplay, and the difficulty is balanced extremely well with some great art and music to boot. I think this is a very strong contender for best entry: amazing job.

awesome cartoony animation, never seen a touhou game lookin like this before. miko has way more patterns than i could expect from a jam game, and dying to them isnt a problem since getting back is so fast. super good

score: 171724

Very fun, even if I just end up switching to Iku and using only her. I really dig the art style

Love the Kevin Arthur artwork!!!

It's a fun and difficult game with an interesting take on Ikaruga's gameplay. The switching mechanic was fun during the stage, where you could hit most of the enemies with Iku first and then finishing them off with Tenshi (the exception being the ghosts with red gloves, who need a T-I-T combo). However, it's a bit lackluster during the boss fight, where the character that you'll be using most of the time will be Iku, since Tenshi has such a low range and damage output against Miko in comparison.

The best implementation of this mechanic in the boss fight was the 3rd spell, where a curtain of either blue or red bullets approach you from behind while ghosts swarm the screen, here you can paralyze the enemies with Iku, switch to Tenshi to kill them, avoid the bullets and even damage Miko with Tenshi's sword.

It was a nice experience overall.

This was a really cool twist on the bullet hell formula, It really reminded me of Ikaruga! The art and music was also super charming, and I definitely made it a lot more difficult on myself by forgetting about the focus button lmaoo

The best one so far <3
