The following are games that are heavily inspired by Touhou gameplay but with a unique setting and characters.

J, (E) | 路鳥 (ろどり Rodori ) | 2014 Download ENG Patch |
A free Touhou-like game made in Danmakufu v0.12m with various animal characters. Gameplay revolves around score-extends by use of a screen-clearing attack charged by collecting point items via grazing / PoC. Much tougher than a typical Touhou-like game, and only has two difficulty levels. However, it features an "Another" Stage, a second kind of Extra Stage where each of the two player characters gets a unique stage, ending with a fight against the other character. Also contains ten boss special attacks, one for each character. |

J, (E) | 路鳥 (ろどり Rodori ) | 2016 Download ENG Patch |
Sequel to the above, now using Danmakufu ph3. Features strange gameplay based around purchasing upgrades and bombs in real time. Significantly easier than the first game, and introduces a full set of four difficulties. Also introduces two more player characters, originally bosses from the previous game. Boss special attacks are called "Works" here. Contains ten boss Works for the ten new characters, but these must be unlocked by completing certain tasks. |

(Ore no Animism ~Resurrection Chapter~) |
J, (E) | 路鳥 (ろどり Rodori ) | 2019 Download ENG Patch |
Third game in the series. Centers around filling a temperature gauge by staying alive and generally playing well; as it rises, enemies become more dangerous, but more points are rewarded for collecting items and clearing boss special attacks, now called "Tricks". A new type of special attack, the "Ignite Shot", is introduced to allow the player to decrease this gauge. Features four playable characters (including bosses from the previous game). Also contains eight Challenge Tricks for the eight new characters, but these must be unlocked by capturing certain Tricks on all difficulties. |
