Great take on Space Invaders, I think you did a good job nailing a lot of important game design elements like different enemy attacks, getting power ups from sniping a faraway enemy and the freezable fairies you can use as shields or projectiles are a really original touch, great job

I love the strategy around the frozen ice fairies. How they can be used for shields or for a one time big AOE. I also really enjoyed the track and the ramping of the heart beat as it gets more dangerous.
Yooo UFO stage 6 just like how I remember it!
It's simply all well put together. The gameplay's rad, it may be Space Invaders but I really like the custom flairs put into it, especially the one where you freeze the blonde fairies.
My favorite character has to be this P-Item-carrying fairy (looks like a maid fairy?) because she has a whistle-like signal - Incidentally I like Lily White who's also got an audio signal in Touhou 9.
Anyways, first try in Jam version, 68200 points before I made an unforeseen oopsie.
Good game, thanks to the team!
My highscore: 28000
It looks and plays good, my only complain is the piu piu piu piuu sound, i guess it was supposed to play when fairies where close but it played randomly and it was annoying.
The scoring system is pretty rad! My only complaint is that Waggysaggy and her shots move a bit too slow, but otherwise the game is fun and well-presented.

I like how you can choose to either use your fairies as walls, or shoot at the enemy for points. Offers a nice risk vs. reward system.
We've found it, lads. The OG shoot'em up. I haven't touched a space invader game since 1875 but damned if I didn't know about the amount of strategy and meta that comes with it.
This is a space invader game in Touhou form.
Has an interesting premise and decent gameplay, and the art is nice as well.
