Let's see here. A ShmUP, my speciality! I'm goign to try the Jam version...
Hmm... The gameplay... It's just okay. The basics of a SHmUP are there but there's little flair/gimmick.
That would have been alright if there was more of a challenge from the game. The balance is uh... off-balance.
- You already get shot at spawn with no reaction time... Come on, let the player adjust for a couple seconds. (ツ)
- No enemy type/formation variety... That's the biggest part of the fun in a SHmUP...
- Literally too easy... Player can just hold fire and never be bothered except for strafing every few seconds...
--- No difficulty escalation... And no other real incentive for survival... That's how a survival game becomes dull within one minute.
Long things short, the game lacks staying power. I hope you don't take my comment the wrong way and that this feedback's useful to you for your next SHmUP or survival games.
Also I was expecting some tie to Touhou's world. Like, the apparition of a character from Touhou, or the setting is (clearly) within Touhou's world... Or the style is a clear parody of Touhou, that can work too.
That's what "Your entry must be based off the Touhou universe to some degree." means, in this Jam's rules.
But uh, I guess there's nothing wrong with silly cats throwing fish at you. The art style is cute!
But what did that kitten do to deserve this?
