{{nihongo||弾幕アマノジャク ~ Impossible Spell Card|'''[[Danmaku]] [[Amanojaku]] ~ Impossible Spell Card'''}} is a [[danmaku]] game and the 14.3rd official installment of the ''[[Touhou Project]]'', featuring [[Seija Kijin]] as the protagonist. The game was released at [[Reitaisai 11]]. As the title implies, it is a spinoff game consisting mostly of (near-)impossible-to-beat spell cards.<br />
<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
{{Main|/Gameplay|l1=Gameplay|/Gameplay/Strategy|l2=Strategy|/Spell Cards|l3=Spell Cards}}<br />
The player controls [[Seija Kijin]], who uses a total of nine different "cheat" items to survive and clear spell cards. Before each card, Seija is equipped with a main item and possibly also a sub-item. The main item grants an activated ability with a limited number of uses while the sub-item grants a passive effect.<br />
<br />
The items are:<br />
<br />
;{{nihongo|Bloodthirsty [[Yin-Yang Orb]]|血に餓えた陰陽玉}}<br />
*'''''Main Ability:''''' allows Seija to teleport in front of the [[boss]], but the X button can be hold and moved around.<br />
<br />
*'''''Passive Ability:''''' making her hitbox smaller.<br />
<br />
;{{nihongo|[[Tengu]]'s Toy Camera|天狗のトイカメラ}}<br />
*'''''Main Ability:''''' allows her to clear bullets using photographs.<br />
<br />
*'''''Passive Ability:''''' increases her movement speed.<br />
;{{nihongo|Gap Folding Umbrella|隙間の折りたたみ傘}}<br />
*'''''Main Ability:''''' allows her to teleport to the other side of the screen (vertical and horizontal); and holding the button will keep Seija hidden for a short period of time on the side she had teleported to.<br />
<br />
*'''''Passive Ability:''''' it allows 3 uses of itself (this takes priority over the main-item if pressing against the wall, but if it is used as both main and sub-item, the main will be used first), but you are not able to hid yourself when teleported.<br />
<br />
;A {{nihongo|[[Miracle Mallet]] Replica|打ち出の小槌(レプリカ)}}<br />
*'''''Main Ability:''''' allows her to swipe the space in front of her, dealing damage to the [[boss]] if she is close enough.<br />
<br />
*'''''Passive Ability:''''' increases the amount of times the main-item can be used, or in the case of the ''Tengu's Toy Camera'', ''Four-Foot Magic Bomb'', and ''Ghastly Send-Off Lantern'', it increases their proficiency.<br />
<br />
;{{nihongo|Substitute Jizo|身代わり地蔵}}<br />
*'''''Main Ability:''''' allows her to survive one hit.<br />
<br />
*'''''Passive Ability:''''' it allows 1 use of itself but the invincibility time after being hit is shortened.<br />
;{{nihongo|Cursed Decoy Doll|呪いのデコイ人形}}<br />
*'''''Main Ability:''''' allows her to lead aimed bullets away, meaning that every bullet nomally homing onto Seija will be aimed at the Doll.<br />
<br />
*'''''Passive Ability:''''' increases the bullet shot spread, covering a wider area.<br />
;{{nihongo|Four-Foot Magic Bomb|四尺マジックボム}}<br />
*'''''Main Ability:''''' after being released the bomb while stay activating and, after a while, it will explode clearing all the bullets around it.<br />
<br />
*'''''Passive Ability:''''' whenever Seija uses any of the main-items, bullets around her are erased by a explosion.<br />
;{{nihongo|Ghastly Send-Off Lantern|亡霊の送り提灯}}<br />
*'''''Main Ability:''''' allows her to become invincible for a limited amount of time.<br />
<br />
*'''''Passive Ability:''''' allows item use in the same way as counter-bombing.<br />
;{{nihongo|Nimble Fabric|ひらり布}}<br />
*'''''Main Ability:''''' allows her to hide in the nimble, thus becoming invincible for a short amount of time, during which she can't move nor shoot.<br />
<br />
*'''''Passive Ability:''''' it allows 2 uses of itself, but only when the main-item is unusable.<br />
<br />
==Name and Concept==<br />
This is the first official ''Touhou Project'' work that does not bear the kanji {{nihongo|Touhou|東方}} in its title. The Japanese part of the title starts with {{nihongo|"[[danmaku]]"|弾幕}}, referring to the main theme of the game, while {{nihongo|[[Amanojaku]]|アマノジャク}} refers to the playable character's species: [[Seija Kijin]]. The term "Impossible Spell Card" is describing what the game is about: dodging danmaku that's considered ''impossible'', but are actually possible since there's a trophy that can be achieved if clearing all [[spell card]]s without "cheating".<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
{{Main|/Translation|l1=Translation|/Characters|l2=Characters}}<br />
<br />
Following the events of ''[[Double Dealing Character]]'', [[Seija Kijin]] has become a wanted [[amanojaku]] in [[Gensokyo]]. There has been signs saying that whoever captures her wins an reward. Since Seija has become a rebel, youkai have decided to use [[spell card]]s that's considered impossible to dodge, but Seija is determined to not give up and decides to cheat using the said items.<br />
<br />
Later on however, the [[tengu]] have taken notice and have written up a newspaper about her mischief, which causes stronger [[youkai]] and [[human]]s to try and capture her, including [[Byakuren Hijiri]], [[Mamizou]], and other classics.<br />
<br />
==Music==<br />
{{Main|/Music|l1=Music}}<br />
The soundtrack of ''Impossible Spell Card'' features a total of nine tracks. Four of these were directly taken from previous games, all used during dialogue within a [[spell card]]. The other themes, aside from the title screen, play during any other spell card.<br />
<br />
The title screen, like any other, uses the motif from "[[Theme of Eastern Story]]", from the CD ''[[Akyu's Untouched Score vol.5]]''.<br />
<br />
==Press==<br />
The game was announced by [[ZUN]] on April 12th, 2014, near the end of the internet broadcast "Chotto Summit ~ The Drinking Party of Indie Game Developers",<ref>http://live.nicovideo.jp/gate/lv174951611</ref> showcasing the promotional video later uploaded at Youtube.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2XZ1w-vvwI</ref> A few weeks before the release, ZUN posted some info about the game and it's release on his blog.<br />
<br />
