Of course, I loved this and talked about it plenty already in Discord but I gotta leave a jam comment anyway.
Super unique concept with an aesthetic to match! Maybe it's nostalgia but I always think it's neat when people replicate the vibe of mechanics associated with classic consoles, and I haven't really seen anything like this anyway. It was fun to desperately crank out the shapes to try and keep up with the ramping difficulty, although I do kind of wish the high points lasted longer or escalated quicker instead of seemingly fizzling out for so long with taking damage. Skill issue on my end perhaps

So funny and creative! Finally a game where I can use my drawing tablet! Okami on PC will not let me use the tablet at all so that's what I needed.
Also why is it so hard to draw lines? I think it often gets mistaken for a U, somehow...And what the heck even is the Pentagram sound? did we summon satan
Anyway, I'm keeping the game somewhere on my PC, it's just so fun!
Very fun little score attack game, especially if you've got a tablet to play it on. If I had this on my DS, I'd be playing it nonstop. I think it's clever how drawing one shape clears the danmaku from both of them, so there's a little risk and reward for waiting to clear danmaku. My only criticism is that I think what's accepted as a line could be a little bit more permissible; you have to draw them pretty straight for the game to recognize them.

500,000 Days of ThunderMagnificent concept! It's impressive you were able to get the drawing system working in time for the jam. I wish there was a scoring system so I could compare how I did to other people.

Touhou: Protest in PerspectiveVery unique and creative mechanics! I got the hang of it after a while but I gotta say, the pentagram sound effect is very grating to my ears quite a bit. I would also like to see an actual objective instead of just survival (If there is one i missed it.) The detection was good most of the time, I didn't have a problem with it. Overall, a really nice entry!
Loved the game! Very interesting concept, to be honest I have no idea how you guys pulled that out! I didn't quite understand the health system/condition to lose and that made me confused... and the lack of highscore is a bit sad but it doesn't matter that much for a Jam. Song was very nice and the art looks charming. Great game 8/10
Piper read some fun documents and dabbled a bit before the jam window to test the viability of the concept, and it was honestly easier to implement than they expected! We weren’t able to implement score during the timeframe sadly, but we’ll try to add it in a post-jam update.
The health system/loss condition confusion seems to be a fairly common bit of feedback, so we’ll need to work on that as well.
