I went ahead and cleared the whole game while I was at it, so to not allow too much distraction from IN. I'm not too interested in doing every scene without items (where possible). Some scenes were hard like 4-6, or 10-7, but most things were easy if you know how to handle them roughly. Scenes that caused the most trouble were 10-3, 10-4 and 10-9. 10-3 because it was hard, hands down. I didn't get 10-4 until I started being retarded, funnily enough. When remilia started shooting the undodgable barrage of knives I tried spinning them and then lived long enough to see that she doesn't shoot the knives that way for forever. That was silly of me. Normally, 10-9 would have been disgusting memoshit, but I somehow managed to bruteforce it with Tanuki item. Would need a route for not scrubby clear though.
Speaking of memoshit: 10-6 was gross. Grossest curvy lasers I have ever seen. Fucking Byakuren.
Overall the game was quite fun. Not a bad game by any means. It had its problems however with some things. I felt quite bullshitted in some scenes (like 10-7, my strat was "get lucky"), but that was mostly because I didn't care enough to experiment with items, I think. Others were much too easy if you consider the name of the game (like 10-2, what the fuck was that? Using an item on that would be an insult to the player). I also didn't like Seiga's shot much, it felt pretty weak. There was also heavy rehashing in some scenes. Particularly in the stage with
which I didn't appreciate. Other scenes were quite creative though. But it's probably not a game I would consider playing seriously. Perhaps single scenes, but not as a whole...
But now that I am done, I can go back to IN without worrying about getting distracted.
