What about the King of Spades? xD

In all seriousness, I'd love to see Yuuka in more games than just PoFV. She's by far my favorite of the Pc-98 era characters.

It's better than what I can draw, certainly. ^^;
Because Touhou OCs can in fact exist, sounds fake I know.

I can't change my username but I go by Vali/Claire now (aka call me Vali or Claire at your leisure ^^).

I never update this currently playing section anymore, it's probably an RPG or something.

First trial impressions: Stage 3 music (both stage and boss) is really good, gameplaywise, I like stage 3 the most so far, and I really like Marisa-A's flame-thrower focus attack!

I'm DLing the trial right now, I'm going to jump straight in to Lunatic (like I did with the PC98 games when I first started playing them).

This is going to be such a trainwreck ^^

EDIT: Sakuya was worth the wait ^^

So apparently Shot Type A for each character is using the hacked weapon during focused fire while Shot Type B uses the backup weapon during focused fire. Unfocused fire does not change between shot types.

Reimu - Homing Amulets and...
ReimuA - a Homing Gohei! (with a Giant Gohei that she swings like Youmu's bomb from 13)
ReimuB - Needles! (with her traditional spellcard)

Marisa - A nonpiercing illusion laser and...
MarisaA - Fire! (with her traditional Master Spark)
MarisaB - Cobalt Missiles! (with some sort of flower thing that's reminiscent of the bombs from 10 that lasts a lot longer graphically than the invuln frames do)

Sakuya - Knives and...
SakyuaA - Slightly delayed exploding homing knives! (With a bomb like MarisaC from 11)
SakuyaB - focused knives! (With Perfect Square from 7)

I played the trial with Sakuya A and B, I cannot find the gimmick with the cursed weapon, it just makes your character stronger, and as for the rest...at least it's more easy with the cursed weapon, will that change something in the ending?

Also a hint: try to autocollect when there is a certain amount of boxes on the screen:
-if there is 20 boxes on the screen at least, you earn a bomb fragment,
-if there is more than 60, you gain an extend fragment.

You gain those fragments in the following order: bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, extend.

If you collect more than 60 boxes, you get an extend fragment, but it's doesn't count on the list.
So if you got like 4 bomb fragments, then collect an extend fragment while collecting more than 60 boxes, the next fragment you get after just collecting 20 boxes will give you another extend fragment.

And I like the atmosphere and the musics from this one a lot.
Also, what's with this dark mist surrounding a boss each time it uses a spellcard? Story plot?
I see what you did there...

And this is still less complex than UFO or 10D's extend systems (though I think I like UFO's system better - both were consistently 5 fragments)

So after finally getting the demo to work, I really enjoy this!
Music is fun the patterns are fun but most of all I love the new bomb/life part system.
I'm sure it will be tweaked before release but being able to get additional bomb & life parts just by collecting items is a great idea. Gives a lot of resources which is good for someone like me who is not good.

Honestly this system should have been in ten desires, the one that was supposed to be easy but hid away its resources like it'd die otherwise.

e: tried out sakuya corrupted and I think I accidentally spawned so many knives it crashed

So far I don't like any of the music so far, which is actually the main thing I was looking forward too. It seems closer to generic video games than touhou.

That werewolf is so fluffy with her ears..

Sakuya B's bomb is really OP for scoring, got 122 million on easy (!) with her, while dying three times out of pure sloppyness, lol

Yes, and it also cancels all bullets on screen, which adds up like crazy to your point value (you can get 2000+ on one of the 2nd bosses nospells on the point value ON EASY (!))

Also i find SakuyaA once bit more imba, cause you can double-bomb with her.

Yeah, SakuyaA is a lot like MarisaC from SA but with more bullet clearing power.

But I can't handle using her focused shot effectively, it's like with Youmu's focused shot from 10D

Actually, no it's not. I thought that way at first until I realized that her knives will explode on their own anyways, so you don't have to unfocus to get them to do anything. Youmu's TD shot is still worse.
