[Nobu]

There are some spellcards that would take a fucking machine to gold on lunatic

Naut mode? :3

[Garlyle]

uhh. is it just me, or does Route B-1's final boss cast GRT on normal? Seriously.

I've mentioned this a few times already 8D

[Ghaleon]

I've mentioned this a few times already 8D

Well then I can once >=p.

Seriously, failed to 1cc B-1 5 times now.
How do bombs work btw? snowflakes on the bottom do NOT indicate the ability to bomb, many times I try to bomb when t hey are there and no dice.. I know the 3nd percentage on the right is bomb indicator and 100% = 1 bomb. but how does it grow besides shattering frozen bullets? Sometimes I SWEAR I stays below 100% after getting over 3 50% shatters in a row, and other itmes I seem to have heaps of bombs without shattering squat.

I'm still really upset I can't even 1cc normal B-1 with intentionally bomb-spamming the boss....

Guys, why use the Z button to rapid fire when you can use the C button. Just figured this one out, after all this time of having the game.

...

It says that in the OP.

[Ghaleon]

I'm curious if I'm doing something wrong if I only reach max spellpower near/at the final boss... I can't seem to get there at all for b-1.

Because I'm used to having my index, middle, and ring fingers on X, Z, and Shift. And I'm also used to tapping shot to shoot.

Also,

Does this game have a vsync option? >_>

I've only reached max power once (it was actually 1cc of route B1 normal).

[Vanishing Sock Puppet]

I'm LOVING this game so far. I've always been a bit of a sucker for bullet cancelling games, and this one definitely tickles my fancy. Can't get too far in it so far, still getting used to everything.

[Formless God]

What do those lasers with spinning tips do ? Do they release small yellow bullets upon contact with your ice or something ? :/

Ice breakers, brake freezed bullets to tiny pieces.

1. B-1 is probably the hardest route, don't feel bad about it
2. The snowflake indicator screws up sometimes; pay attention to the percentage instead.
3. It's not a direct add-on like the power up.  I think you get roughly 30-50% or so of what you freeze; it's definitely not a full 100%.

[Naut]

Freeze more stuff. Even the little things. Granted, it's much easier to hit max power on Lunatic (if you aren't playing it), since there are so many more bullets to freeze.

What would a hierarchy of difficulty look like?

[Drake]

C2<A1<C1<B2<A2<B1

[Docteur Hartmann]

Personally, I think that this game is pretty hard. If you don't trigger your Ice Power at the good time, when you're done.
It mean that you have to try, again, and again, and again, to know WHEN you have to use it. I sincerely feel sorry for the guy who'll try a pacifist road.

[GenericTouhouFailure]

I just got the game.
This game is sex.
No more words need to be said.

Music Awesome
Graphics ZUN doesn't disappoint, even if not his art.
GUYZ WHATZ WRONG WITH THE CONTROLS? JUST PRESS C AS IF YOUR TOEHOE KEYZ ARE REVERSED THEN ITS ALL EZ!
(like really)

[hyorinryu]

I know you guys may have already gone over this, but is there any benefit to capping as opposed to freezing everything. Capping doesn't seem to seem to add to the freezing stats, so I wonder if I'm just better off freezing everything I see.

[nintendonut888]

Looking at the spell card bonus, it only gives you the max bonus if you gold medal it, as the bonus goes down after you freeze for the first time. However, the points you get from freezing likely completely make up for any drop in the bonus, so gold medaling is only a challenge. Silver medals count as a capture in the game anyway.

[Formless God]

[08:29:39]    oh hey let's try capturing Luna Child's first spell
[08:29:43]    on Lunatic
...
[08:33:39]    DAMN YOU ZUN
[08:33:44]    THE FUCKING CURTAIN IS AIMED

 :X

[Formless God]

I'll leave that to Jaimers and Naut :colonveeplusalpha:

[Tengukami]

B1-3 is nuts. I kept asking myself, "This is EASY mode?!", many many times.

Oh and ZUN, thanks SO MUCH for that one spellcard of Sunny Milk's  - you know which one, the one that's just her sitting there a moment and then BANG! - undodgeable ring of bullets. Yeah that was really awesome first time around.

God I love this game.

[Jaimers]

I'll leave that to Jaimers and Naut :colonveeplusalpha:

Bleh, 1DNBNF timeout.
It's more of a puzzle card than anything really. And lol random boss movement that can screw you over.

I said the same thing about Final Flash :V It's exciting though, I love it.

[Tengukami]

Yeah, I agree. I kept doing A-1 over and over today and was like "Oh wait - other routes!" And I'll be leaned forward, face *thisclose* to the screen, dodging, stressing, but with a big smile on my face. Deaths bring laughter, and clearing brings great sighs of relief. I love it.

[Nobu]

Ah, alright. I was having a hard time figuring out whether your last post was sarcastic or not. :x

[Tengukami]

The "THANKS SO MUCH" bit was sarcastic, but lovingly so.

[Shizzo]

Does Fairy Destruction Ray has an impossible to dodge timeout phase?

[Suikama]

Well it does have a phase at the end where all the bullets are purple fireballs and aofihsafoisjfaHOWDODGE
