I liked it a lot!
The atmosphere of both the Outside World and Gensokyo was just right, I felt immersed while I was playing. The graphics are cute and good (especially the portraits), and the music is really nice too (I especially liked the Ancient Temple arrange). The story and script were my favorite part, I really liked the interactions between Maribel and Renko, and reading Maribel's thoughts, and I enjoyed the pacing, alternating between both worlds.
I think it all fits together very neatly, congratulations to the team!
Some feedback:
- Maybe I'd add a setting to decrease a bit the rate of random encounters. I wanted to thoroughly explore the maps and they were a bit too frequent for my taste.
- I think the power cost of danmaku spells is a bit unbalanced. Overall I found myself using double/triple shots the most because they were cheap and powerful compared to beams and rings.
- A small bug: Wriggle's portrait disappeared after she joined for the second time and stayed blank until the end.
Waiting warmly for the next version~
