Been years since I last played Touhou; seems that I have lost my touch.
Still... did you just balance the game such that stage 1 is more or less equal to stage 4 of a typical Touhou game? :'D
One thing for sure I am not 1ccing this just to see the ending... If I have to make an excuse though, the bullets and the player character don't contrast enough from the background, making them hard to track using peripheral vision XP
Thanks for participating; I had fun -- and TIL you can make bullet hell using RPG Maker
