There are more submaps?

I kinda miss the character switching of the first game.

I find that to be pretty typical of fanmade projects. If one aspect really stands out, other parts suffer. Particularly if it's the technical stuff that rises above and beyond.

The sub-par midis of songs are still great. The bosses are not too bad, either, though they are a bit samey. Drama Mistery the first also had that issue.

Of course it has a plot twist; what we see now feels like half of a full game. And the EMPEROR is not the simple kind of villain. He's the kind to just pull a machine Deux right out of his pocket. Or heart, if he wishes to be lethal about it all. That's what he did to end the first one, after all...
I am prone to almost everything... except spontaneous violence.

does it bother anyone else that the charlies are fireproof? because that just feels so off to me. i'd take the normal three-hit variety over these two-hit fire-haters any day of the week, honestly

Fundamentals First is what I say!

Although it is super duper easy to get wrapped up in wanting to make something neat on a super large scope.

My guess is the twist is that Big Rei only rents the castle.

Wow, so I just found out that mistery isn't a misspelling; it's the archaic form of mystery, and Grate intentionally wanted to use it. BTW, does anyone know what happened to them? I really wanna know what they're working on now.

I think you're supposed to use your dash to go under most of the Thwomps, not try to jump over all of them.

I was going to post something similar to this. I noticed rao tends to jump over Twomps in other games as well even when suboptimal.
It's probably mostly automatic after it being the best solution 90% of the time with spinjumping. He does usually goes underneath when first jumping over a hole which I think is the most common alternative situation.

I love how halfway through the post-boss scene, Kooper blindly trusts the Emperor's word, yet at the end aggressively doubts and threatens him. No wonder Kooper looks so constantly enraged if he's burying these massively conflicting social trust issues. Poor guy just needs a hug.

raocow a-are you okay omg

The poor comment section is full of hate :( I feel bad for people who find this "cringe" instead of finding it... well, unfortunately hilarious. RIP in RIP. Also yesterday's lightning boss reminded me a lot of something I would make, but with less reactionary consideration.

I'm 99% sure that the song during the castle is Chop Suey. But there are parts that don't sound like Chop Suey.

*still watching video so he hasn't see "the plot twist" yet*

Drama Mistery is... a special duology. Very special. Very... special.
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.

I don't know if this is the best or worst thing ever, but it sure is something alright.
