Firstly, I would like to thank you for hosting this jam, and I hope you will keep hosting them in the future. Touhou has brought so much joy to my life and an event like this brings even more joy.
I also would like to thank you for the elaborate feedbacks you have given to the participants. This really helps us become better game makers.
I do admit that as a solo developer, I had cut many corners, which is reflected in the lack transition states, impact effects, and sound effect, etc. So I primarily focused on experimenting with the new art styles and see whether people would like them. However, as too many corners are being cut, I also feel that the game is quite “empty” in various aspects.
Now that the jam is nearly over, if time allows, I think I will keep working on this project, and make gradual updates that addresses the issues you pointed out here, such as the problem with the overly-easy boss attacks. I think I will also support joystick control, which will allow users to use their PS4/XBox controllers.
Once again thank you for everything!
