Title: Extra boss fight PatchY (short-version) with Danmakufu by me
Post by: Henry on August 22, 2009, 12:07:52 PM
Click here (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=3d309df496b7e996b64026cfc06112364fd3ceaa1a6cbd2b5621d66e282a0ee8) to download. (2 difficulties available, i.e. Extra and Phantasm)

It is really short but quite enjoyable (for Extra). Phantasm is quite hard. I may post the long version later since it is not complete.
Any comment is really appreciated.
P.S. The music does not fit at all and the boss's name is revealed on title. :P

While for the most part this is generally good, there are a number of design flaws here and there.

Undine is way too luck based. The space between the lasers is way too small and if another small bullet justh appens to be in there with you you're screwed.

The non spell after metal sign is pretty much trivial. On Extra you can kill it before any bullet becomes a threat and in Phantasm nothing even comes close to hitting you.

Silent Selene is cool but it's way too hard to see, especially if you're using someone like Marisa B.

Also what's up with Patchy stealing Shou's spells? :V


I like how you managed to make the spells different for each character, although it took me a while to notice since I often use characters other than the standard 4.

I agree with Suikama, Udine drove me nuts...

Thanks for all replies from the above :)

I am sorry for any design flaw because I am just too anxious to get this on the track. lol

The bullet is homing instead of in random angle. Probably I would modify it a bit so that it is easier.

Sorry if it is too easy :P  I suck at non-spells.

Patchy stealing Shou's spells?
There are many thieves in Gensokyou you know: Marisa, Satori, Hijiri, Nue... maybe even in the Voile Library there is a book about this and all spell cards :P :V

In fact my of the spells are stolen if you know them... (they are in the long version  :V)

Nice work but Extra is way to easy and i found a safe spot in Silent Silena. if you just move a bit right to starting position (like when you die) you will be safe from the lasers.

(I know it) so I would also change it to something greater.

Hmm, everybody pretty much hit the nail on the head. Some spells are rediculusly hard (Undine), while others are pretty easy (Silent Selina, the safespot is hard not to use).

Earth sign "Surrounded by All Sides" was my favorite spell, followed by Moon Sign "Silent Selina". At least on Phantasm mode, Silent Selina is pretty difficult and looks badass.

I did enjoy playing this script, even though I think some spells have too much health (they get kinda dragged out and boring after a while). Hope to see more from you in the future.
