東方命雨滴 ～ Unification of the Artful Rain [v0.01b update]
Aka Kyuketsuki:
Hello everybody!
I'm Aka Kyuketsuki from Τeam αlternative Σnding.
After all this time, I am very excited to present to you our new Touhou fangame!
Touhou Project "Lambda #1"
「東方命雨滴 (Touhou Meiuteki) ～ Unification of the Artful Rain」
Here is the story:
-- "Long ago, it was said people celebrated the rain.
It was said every droplet carried a sparkle of life,
that every downpour brought a sleet of vitality.
The sound of the drizzle which carried the hopes
for a long-lasting life...
What the rain had given us, do you believe it could
eventually be taken back?"
Just as spring has made its leave, downpours have started to drizzle all over Gensokyo.
However, the human villagers claim to experience fatigue while staying under this rainy weather.
It was as if the energy from their bodies was drifting away slowly over time.
As our protagonists went, the sky was already full with eerie clouds.
It was just a matter of time before the chaos-bringing flood dropped over Gensokyo once more.
This full-scale fangame (6 stages and EX) is a rain-themed fangame with 3 protagonists available to play:
Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame and Komachi Onozuka (Not all characters may be available in trial version).
Each character will have two different shot types with different charcteristics, so don't be afraid to try all of them!
It also introduces the Flow system, a mechanic inspired by Perfect Cherry Blossom.
Destroying enemies releases special items called "Droplets". Collect them to fill your Flow Gauge.
Once it's full, press C to double your score with special items.
If you survive until the end, you can earn a huge bonus based on your performance: items collected, graze, the level of the boss...
You call also gain a spell fragment when surviving long enough too. However, you are not protected from getting hit, so only use when you are sure to shine!
Take a look at the teaser trailer here!
Here are some screenshots too!

Nice, at first I got kind of confused with the Gore's new game (also with Komachi as playable), sorry for that.
I do look forward to this and screenshots do look nice, with your artworks looking lovely as always. I know some people might be a bit tired of seeing new fangame demo/announcement lately, but the more the merrier IMO and I'm still going to judge each one individually.
CrestedPeak9:
Is it just a coincidence that there are now three fangames that have a plot about rain?
The system sounds like a mix between TD and PCB, which reminds me immediately of PoIB. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

Rain and stars are the popular trends apparently.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing this one! The Summer of Fangames? just keeps giving, doesn't it?
