Oh this absolutely rules, great work. Bombing and racking up the big multipliers feels awesome.
Number 412! baby
My name is ingame is Ivy, and I keep going to different devices, itś a shame that the score doesnt carry over.
Is ANY reason not to HOLD fire button all the time? I don't understand, why this button exists and not auto-fire.
there are no way to know the keys that i have to press via the tutorial, could that be added?
cant put my name, i press enter and it doesnt do anything.
Does it let you type when highlighting the box then pressing the shot key? [Z on keyboard / A on gamepad by default]
i press Z then press ENTER and it doesnt work :( but it does let me type my name.
Okuu/10 best Touhou fan game
crazy
