Fantastic Danmaku Festival Part II: dodge through a theatrical barrage

TouHou Makuka Sai ~ Fantastic Danmaku Festival Part II

The music rises with the movement of the barrage. Reviewers describe fights that feel like a performance as well as a dodging challenge.

Yuyuko’s encounter in particular leaves reviewers wanting to take in the patterns themselves.

What makes it fun

  1. Music moves with the barrage

    The music shifts as bosses appear and barrages intensify, while the backgrounds add to the scene. Dodging through each fight feels like watching a stage performance unfold.

  2. Find a path through unusual patterns

    Unusual boss patterns can be hard to read at first. Learning how the bullets move lets you find a path through attacks that initially seem impassable.
