Name and Concept
This is the first official Touhou Project game that does not bear the kanji Touhou (東方) in its title (but not the first work overall as most CD titles also don't use the kanji). The Japanese part of the title starts with "danmaku" (弾幕), referring to the main theme or genre of the game, while 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 cards without "cheating".
Story
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 a reward. Since Seija has become a rebel, youkai have decided to use spell cards that's considered impossible to dodge, but Seija is determined to not give up and decides to cheat using the said items.
Later on however, the tengu have taken notice and have written up a newspaper about her mischief, which causes stronger youkai and humans to try and capture her. Shinmyoumaru Sukuna confronts Seija and declares that she ought to return the remainder of the Mallet's magic and that they've lost the war that occurred during Double Dealing Character. Seija, believing that using her cheating magic to conquer Gensokyo, Shinmyoumaru states that they ought to surrender because she has had enough. Since Seija goes against her will, Shinmyoumaru goes against Seija and gets others to capture her.
In the end, it's revealed that Seija has lost all of her allies, but it's nothing to worry about because the amanojaku can never really make friends anyway.
In the mini game Gold Rush that ZUN created for the Digital Game Expo, the story continues, albeit non-canonically[1][2]. Somehow acquiring the ultimate rule-breaking item, the Miracle Mallet (Real), Seija sets about robbing the Hakurei Shrine of its assets before the Miracle Mallet's power runs out.
Music
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.
The title screen, like any other, uses the motif from "Theme of Eastern Story", from the CD Akyu's Untouched Score vol.5.
Press
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",[3] showcasing the promotional video later uploaded at Youtube.[4] A few weeks before the release, ZUN posted some info about the game and it's release on his blog.
The full game was later released at Reitaisai 11 on May 11, 2014.
On November 16, 2014, ZUN released a mini game called Danmaku Amanojaku Gold Rush at Digital Game Expo 2014's "Doujin Shooting Game Caravan" contest, where it was available to be played. It's an extension to Impossible Spell Card, but it's yet to be released to the public.
