WHAT IS IT WITH ZUN AND UNBEARABLY MOE STAGE 2 BOSSES LATELY. I thought she was great the instant I saw her little sprite showed her shouting (?) while she was using her ability. Also her gimmick is awesome, I love her spellcards.

Stage 3 boss though...well uh let's see what fanart does with her. She sure likes her kunais.

Also yes the game feels very easy on Normal, this might be the first game where I move up to Hard! There's no way to manipulate the color of the spirits though, huh?

SERIOUSLY, WTF.

I actually thought at first she was giving the face where you pull down your eyelid and stick out your tongue. And yeah, what a great gimmick. That's some pro Johnny Walker shit right there

One especially challenging aspect of this game is powering up, it seems, where one little P = 0.01 of your shot. And I haven't seen any big Ps, unless I'm missing something.

Really? That's exactly what I remember happening through all of UFO, so that's not that unusual.

That said, I DO remember getting a big P from the stage 2 midboss, so I think they do exist. Just the 'medium' ones seem to have been retired completely.

Yonowaaru · « **Reply #456 on:** April 15, 2011, 05:43:00 PM »

I think midbosses gave big power items. Other than that, I don't think I've seen any.. I don't think there were any on 12 either..

I found Normal "Easy" as well, since I was able to blind-run myself to a 1/0 clear. Though I'm kinda torn on the resouces. Seriously, either I'm missing something or Zun's a lot less generous this time around, especially compared to UFO. And it doesn't help that they seem to love hugging the top of the screen. Also, has anyone found out how to manually activate Trance mode, or is that just not in this build?

Big P items do exist in UFO and this game. I've seen one drop from

in TD, and in UFO Stage 6 Nue will drop one if you bombed/died during its attacks, and Byakuren's second last card drops one as well.

You can only activate trance when your skull meter or whatever it's supposed to be called is max, I think.

Maybe it's a little easier than it seemed the first time. Lunatic 1cc. :V I timed out a bunch of third boss spells, though. The lunatic final will be nuts to actually capture, given the trick is to dodge the red bullets and get inside the lasers before she heals, by the looks of things.

Also, has anyone figured out how to Youmu yet? The shot type is beyond awkward (you can't even tap Z to fire in focus mode...)

Youmu plays like a mix of her PoFV and IN shot types, which is actually a pretty neat way to implement it. But the charge-slash micromanagement combined with being COMPLETELY unable to deal damage while simply focusing on focus-dodging is a pain. I never got a good handle on whether the slashes do enough damage to make up for the hassle.

OK so, opinions.

Difficulty is DEFINITELY easier than UFO, and the gimmicks are more fun too.

Spoiler:

, anyway. Moe~

Haven't got my head around Trance mode. Extends are really demanding - 10 powerups for a life, and they drop about as often as they did in SA...:<

Unassuming Squid · « **Reply #476 on:** April 15, 2011, 06:06:05 PM »

So I finally got a chance to play this and I really cannot wait for the full version.

Spoiler:

was surprising, somewhat. My first thought was

Spoiler:

, and then

Spoiler:

. But, conversely,

Spoiler:

appearance was just so damn unlikely that I really wasn't surprised at all to see her there.

Also, am I the only one who actually had trouble with this? I had to continue at Stage 3. The fact that the little spirit things apparently don't descend when they spawn, coupled with the fact that Youmu's short-range focus shot is a pain to implement correctly means that I'll probably be spending a lot of time around the top of the screen.

As far as the new characters go,

Spoiler:

was very clever. I haven't shouted out "OH FUCK YOU" to a boss's gimmick since Sakuya in EoSD.

Spoiler:

also looks to be my favorite stage 3 boss in the series.

Spoiler:

Going to try it out with the other characters, maybe upgrade to Normal mode while I'm at it. I still need to get the hang of the new system.

EDIT: Oh, and I'm really loving ZUN's new art style. I can actually vaguely consider having it as a desktop wallpaper or something now.

Not sure if anyone's noticed this already, but life/bomb items are counted twice if picked up in Trance mode.

So are multiplier items, seems to be the main scoring method.
