Touhou 14.3: Danmaku Amanojaku ~ Impossible Spell Card announced!

[Serela]

It's very random, unfortunately.

[Jaimers]

I have no idea how CAVE Remi is possible without items unless there's safespot somewhere
Also I think 10-7 might be static so maybe it can just be memorized but still it's pretty bleh

Remi is possible if you follow the stream of knives and circle around the screen. It's tricky but possible.
10-7 seems completely impossible though. The only truly impossible in the game.

Caught 68 scenes without using items so far.

ISP is a lot more fun and a lot less rage-inducing than I thought it would be.

[Tengukami]

Agreed. I'm personally having fun using different items with different spell cards. Maybe later I'll try runs without the items, but I can do that in pretty much any other Touhou game that has Spellcard Practice.

[Formless God]

Just timed out 10-10. There's nothing at the end.
At least it's more fun than the one in PCB :V

[Zarakava]

So I'm loving ISC, but I can't figure out what the umbrella does, if anything.

On day 4, it's easily my favorite "gimmick" Touhou

[Validon98]

The umbrella lets you wrap around the screen ala Reimu A in Subterranean Animism, but you have to press the X key to activate it.

Thanks. Should get around to learning more Japanese.

[Tengukami]

Thanks. Should get around to learning more Japanese.

You could do that. Or you could go to touhouwiki.net and search for Impossible Spell Card (though last I checked not all the translations and strategies were yet done).

oh god and I thought 10-4 was nuts

how does one even do this

So... her final phase is the one that she shoots yellow bullets?

[Formless God]

Yes.

[Sc2phoenix]

I wonder how long it will take for someone to pass 10-4 without items  :V
Also anyone figure out what Achievement 17 is?

[?q]

I'm sure some people have noticed by now, but the screen shot with each completed scene is an actual picture of your gameplay.

For instance, in 5-4,

Spoiler:

I destroyed one of Raiko's drums, and it wasn't there in the screen shot.  Oh by the way, you can destroy those.

Along those lines if no one has tried it yet in 2-4 -

Spoiler:

I don't think you can destroy Sekibanki's center head.  I'm disappointed.

I'm taking my time with this game just to enjoy it.  I like what ZUN's doing with this soundtrack.  I like a lot of the patterns but I think the last card on Day 3 was the most fun to figure out...

Spoiler:

the scoring way first, and then the intended survival way.

[pineyappled]

What's the max level?

[Karisa]

I think it varies by item. Clearing the easier scenes from day 1 to 3 no-item (after rushing to 6-1 to unlock all the items) was enough for me to level them all to max, though.

[Suikama]

Does the level of an item affect it's power as a sub as well?

[Validon98]

Levels don't affect sub effects. It only affects the main item.

[Suikama]

Okay so it turns out 10-3 is an absolute joke with Alice's doll + Magic Mallet :V

[Kaze_Senshi]

I think that I found a little bug, little description with possible spoilers

Spoiler:

I unlocked the day 4 and started to play that last scene "Something Wormhole" against Seiga before playing the other stages. I beat her without using items, saved a replay file and then I was able to click on "Next Scene". Then I could play in the day five against Raiko but when I went back to the main menu the fifth day was locked like it was before. 

Did someone see something like this?

[Limian]

Also anyone figure out what Achievement 17 is?

10 hours of gameplay.

Ye. iirc the same bug appears in Double Spoiler.

[Espadas]

10 hours of gameplay.

Which, for Touhou standards, is another game's equivalent of "Clear the first level"  BV

I only just got the 10 hour one while attempting to get a 70th no item clear...decided to call it a day though and stop at 69/75 no item, 75 cleared  :V

[Formless God]

How does the sub lantern work? nvm you need the lantern in both slots

[Suikama]

Sub lantern lets you deathbomb basically

It does nothing for items that work passively though like Mamizou's statue

[Sungho]

The camera has weird time-bending properties.
In Scene 4-5, holding the X button for a certain amount of time will make the red wall bullets stop spawning until the camera takes a picture.
It also screws with Scene 9-7 and Scene 10-5.
Might have to observe more to understand how it happens.

Also found out that red bullets in 10-5 are erase-proof.

[game2011]

Romantic Flight is my favorite theme in this game, and remember what I said about it sounding like it would fit in a Goemon game?  I made comparisons to a couple of themes from that series, and the more I did so, the more I agree it's true.

[CyberAngel]

I have to say that, even though I'm more than frosty about the gameplay, the music really is outstanding and enjoyable to listen separately. Liked all new tracks instantly. That's quite an achievement, I usually need some time hearing them during gameplay to form an opinion.

[Snowlock]

Arg... Well, I got about one day out of it (loved the game) but now every time I try to open it, it'll just give me a message in Japanese that says "Log" at the top and won't open. Tried replacing all the program I could find and it still does it.

Edit: The game was running invisibly and it was telling me in Japanese that it was already open >_< A quick trip to ctrl-alt-delete land helped. I get the fun of starting from the beginning haha.

On topic though one of the funniest cards for me was Mokou's second or third one, with the falling fire. I dodged it all without items (like you're supposed to) then for a minute I thought "Wow! I got her! That was too easy!' ...Of course I forgot she can revive.
