The difficulty curve felt a little uneven, some spell cards were very easy while others were very tricky. I think the difficulty level will be beyond most of the game jam participants, but I don't think there's really anything you can do about that with a danmaku game.
Also... are many of the textures/sprites *supposed* to be the same Batman meme image? I wasn't sure if that was intended or if my game was glitched. In general, the art was very odd, it seems like you just used random images for assets.
I think the game is overall a little *too* similar to Touhou, but I get the feeling that's a limitation of that "Danmakufu" engine you used. It's a little difficult to rate your game, because it's hard to tell how much you made yourself and how much was built into Danmakufu.
The difficulty is indeed a bit high, but I failed to persuade XGN to lower it as he's too much a bullet hell player.. Thanks for the comment anyway ~~as I never expected such a rough game in our first ldjam would get any reviews~~
By the way all my music are not in the debug version :( ~~though they are as rough as the graphics~~
And about the built-in. We made pretty much everything: practise system, ending, danmaku, in-game manual even the whole main menu. They are **not** builtin. The replay system is built-in though.
Thanks for your reply and playing!
