i picked byakuren+miko and wowza what a shot. very bold. their own pride is shown in full force in the way the screen lights up the moment you press z. it uh. almost lights up to the point of it being hard to see where bullets are

i like the patterns and colouring of everything, but it feels fairly cramped and a bit fast. i'm no seihou  or traditional shmup player but i play unreal len'en and hard touhou so i am fairly confident in my ability to sightread, but i just had no hope here. stage was bam bam zoom shwoop and chimata was pew pew boingoingoingoing. these sound effects indicate danger to my lives so i ate like most of the patterns with bombs

i do like the continuity from the last game though with rinnosuke, and i liked what i saw of the boss patterns

i also notice sakura petals drop when you shoot chimata. it doesn't seem like we have pcb border here, so i'm not sure what's going on. are there bonus mechanics?

Thank you very much for playing!!! Always looking for ur comments since u a game jam gigachad reviewer yo

I think most of the difficulty you had with the game was a combination of a very big playfield and very big bullets. I hateeeee bullets being so small that I have to stick my face into the screen to see them so my shmup design philosophy goes against that as much as possible... in turn causing other problems. I'll take a look at what I can do to improve the experience a bit more!

I'm glad the sound effects are having their intended effects, the bam bam zoom shwoop and pew pew boingoingoingoing are meant to have a very strong retro shmup feel lmao. Don't feel bad about using bombs either, I made my game very accessible (with an easy difficulty and adjustable life counts) for a reason!!!!!

The sakura petals that Chimata drops add 250 points to your Sexiness meter! Sexiness acts as the Point Item Value meter of the game - so if you have 50000 Sexiness, each blue point item will give you 50000 points (and each rainbow item, which only Chimata drops, gives 100000 - double the PIV amount). Normal enemies in the stage section also drop green petals which add 100 points to PIV/Sexiness. I highly recommend reading the Manual & Credits.txt in the game directory to understand better how scoring works!

Once again, thank you very much!
