horse touhou game is fun! im no shmup god and was only able to beat the UFO on easy, I always die to the snowy wind attack on stage 2 on normal and above. music and art are very charming. the game is very responsive and the controls are intuitive once you get used to aiming the bow. I wish there was a bit more feedback on hitting an enemy, sometimes i wasnt sure I was even doing damage. The tiny hitboxes also made me wish there was a fullscreen option, i found myself leaning forward and squinting at the screen during denser patterns. The patterns for stages 2 and on were especially fun and creative. Who is this Lombard fella and why does he never talk?

Hi. Stage 2 boss's second attack is probably the most gimmicky one, so it might be hard to get from intuition. But I also think Lombard might be simply too slow to dodge it properly (I haven't done much balancing on that). I'm glad you didn't have any problems with the controls; it's been an uphill battle to get those to work properly. I agree the effects are way too underwhelming. As for fullscreen, I've added an option for it (though with no proper scaling, so everything will look fatter if your screen isn't 4:3). Lombard does not talk because he's a cool guy, and cool guys are silent. Or perhaps I just can't find a way to fit him in the scenario. He'll probably talk one day. Anyway, thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback!
