I lied. Done judging. First, my reactions, impressions, and general criticism of everyone's entries.
Demonbman
Okay first off, that background is terrible for a laser only contest. Lasers being additively blended, the brighter the background is, the harder it is to see the laser. Second, the difficulty of the whole script isn't on the scale of Easy, Normal, Hard, or Lunatic. It's not Extra or Phantasm. It's pretty much just cheapshot bullshit. The first attack pretty much proves my point as I died and bombed a ridiculously number of times just to get through it. The second attack doesn't seem to have any visible way to get past the giant rotating lasers and meanwhile merlin shoots godspeed lasers randomly about. You probably should've thought things through a bit more.
ahahaha yeash....
The way to get around the giant rotation lasers is to go through the base!
The background...well....:X I really didnt just want to use just the music sheet as a background, and I guess I thought that I've created and played the script so many times that I know what to do.
From now I I'll think in the way of the person whos played the script for the first time! That way no more Cheapshot Bullshit!

This is Iddyea, a fairy who lives in my subconscious (seriously). She talks to me in dreams and gives me small suggestions even if I'm awake. She said that she was sad because nobody believed that she was real since there was no proof, but I'm either too nice or too insane, so I do. So I started working on this contest, but I didn't know who to make the boss. When I went to bed that night, I had a dream about these patterns - so I made them.

It comes with two scripts with four difficulties each. Subconscious "Labyrinth of the Mind" is my main entry, while Dream "Multichromatic Trance" is more of an extra (though I still want it graded of course). Lunatic might be a tad much (I don't play on that difficulty yet, so it's hard to balance for it), so I suggest starting on Hard or lower. And as one more note, both patterns are semi-random, but they're always possible - you might occasionally get a really hard section, but that's part of the fun.

woooooooow. not much more I can say than that. Thats amazing, and 2nd card is really really fun.

excuse me while I start picking your cards appart to figure out how the effects work lol.

The problem was in the actual "shot_replace.dnh" file.

[rant]The shot_replace.dnh and supershot.txt files were clearly meant to be in the same folder. WHY WHY WHY does shot_replace refer to supershot by an ABSOLUTE PATHNAME (from the th_dnh folder that is)[/rant]

I only included scripts that weren't disqualified, so yours and rdj522's didn't make it.

Sorry.

...The odd coincidences these things can produce...

Iryan's "Wave Theory of Light" looks remarkably like my "Color Spray", right down to the cone... granted, mine doesn't have all that certain-death stuff outside said cone. And for some reason Wave Theory seems to have a bit more order to it...

And that last spellcard "Pythagoras Tree"... just... whoa.

Videos, I enjoyed them. And I was quite under the impression from Iryan's Pythagoras tree. That was simply amazing.

Well, that looks amazing, but it's kind of boring to dodge, honestly. (But hey, one of my spellcards was like that, so who am I to judge?)

I think it should be enforced that in each contest Nimble should continue to make the last card borderline impossible, and that Naut should be forced to capture it each time.

Well you are already one of the better graphic/effect designers. We cannot all have all stats maxed out ( well you can but takes practise ).

I have the same thing, my math / pattern abilities are low while graphic and eye-candy things are high. We have to deal with it. orz.
Which is currently the problem I am having with my own game. I have so many ideas, but little knowledge on how to turn them into a spell card.

Most of Azure's stats seem quite high though. :V

I'd say I'm almost maxed out in the logic stat (which is closely related to the math stat but not quite the same). You tell me what behavior you want, and I can probably make it. On the other hand, my graphics/effects stat is damn close to 0.

Lol, talking about Danmakufu strengths and weakness in terms of RPGs.

This, I can do.

[rdj522] level 25
Math: 40
Patterns: 35
Effects: 20
Special ability: Works well under pressure, providing a boost to Math but lowering Patterns.

At least, that's how I see it. If something needs trig to be done, I can figure it out given a bit of effort, but because I'm a bit OCD about not copying already existing cards, the ones I do make are rather plain. ...And that was the reason why I didn't submit an entry for the third contest.

Is there going to be a stat tier list?  :V

Also, WOW videos already! Awesome!

*bows down to Naut*

Also yeah, I often take inspiration for my danmaku from music I listen to (guess what Apocalypse Sign "Set The World On Fire" was inspired by  :V), and I just happened to have gotten Octavarium for Christmas. I'm already considering to buy more of their albums, but I don't know which one.

Well, that looks amazing, but it's kind of boring to dodge, honestly.
That is what I believed to be one of the reasons my script wouldn't win: The tree looks good but is rather uninteresting gameplay-wise. I tried multiple ways of making the fractal spawn and fade away, and this one was the best option I could find.  :V
