Note: I'm not just saying Gentle Mode is easy (because duh, it's easy mode), I'm saying it's easier than it probably should be due to the lives and bombs.
This was a lot of fun! I played in Gentle Mode because im bad at Touhou and I thought it was a little bit too easy, not so much because of the bullet patterns and more because the default starting life and bomb values were too high. I would have liked to see more use of bullets from behind the player, but other than that I have no qualms with the gameplay. I have a hard time differentiating between the background, point items, and bullets a lot of the time, and I'm not sure why P2 is so big compared to P1, but otherwise the visuals are awesome.
I just tested it in version 1.0.1 and yep online crashes too (The last time I played it with friends was on a different computer so that's probably why). Both the Steam and the downloaded Windows version have the same issue. I press play, it gives me the loading screen, plays an alarm sound and the start of the music, then crashes after a second or so. I checked the error logs, and they give a 0xC0000005 exception. I've tried all the usual fixes to said exception and they don't seem to work.
