Oddly enough, I had a harder time with the non-boss rush sequences in this game than the bosses themselves. All said, this is a very neat and compact Touhou-like game in the truest sense. The mechanics are spot-on, and the patters are very visually striking... might be some of the best I've seen so far. The music is especially hoppin'; I think that might be the best part of the game itself. That said, it's still ferociously hard and as a result can feel really unbalanced. No story or dialogue also notches some points off the final score; if there was a story included, I think this entry would have that authentic cherry on top Don't let my minor criticism bug you though, this is a GREAT game, especially under the three-day limit.
