■1.About the game rank system | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |||
This game has a rank system that is quite alike those in other games. | |||
The game rank system can change the difficulty of the game so that, if | |||
you're doing well the game gets difficult, whereas if you make a mistake, | |||
the enemy fire becomes slow, etc. | |||
●Conditions for changes in your rank | |||
Conditions for an increase your rank (game difficulty) | |||
・Playing time (the longer you play, the higher your rank becomes). | |||
・Gaining 1 more life (1UP). | |||
・Obtaining point items at the top of the screen. | |||
・Obtaining power up items in full power mode. | |||
Conditions for a decrease in your rank | |||
・Dying. | |||
・Using a bomb. | |||
For this game the degree of change in rank will be smaller. | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |||
■2.Focused Movement with Shift Key | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |||
Moving while holding down the shift key will result in a decrease of your | |||
movement speed to about half of what it is. | |||
There will be moments when there are too many enemy fire on the screen | |||
to the point where moving through them is impossible. | |||
In such case, use this focused movement. It will make danmaku dodging | |||
easier than expected. | |||
Probably using your middle finger for the Z key and your pinky for the | |||
shift key would be convenient. | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |||
■3.Recommendation for slow mode | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |||
In the options menu you can choose between Turbo mode and Slow mode. | |||
The Turbo mode is set as default, but for recently produced fast processors | |||
(Above 486(66MHz))(Are they the most recent ones?(^^;;), there is no delay in | |||
performance, which results in severe bullet spamming in some cases. | |||
If such occurs, it is recommended that you use Slow mode. | |||
In Slow mode, when there is heavy enemy fire, the game deliberately imposes | |||
a dealy for a certain time to make it look like there is a delay in performance rate. | |||
Since only bullets and the enemies are targets of the delay, if there's only | |||
lasers floating around, there is no delay in performance. | |||
However, scores obtained through Slow mode are not recorded. | |||
So if you want to clear the game first, then go ahead with the Slow mode. | |||
However, in the Extra stage, only Turbo mode is available. | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |||
■4.Walkthrough of each stage | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |||
Yeah, let's begin the walkthrough for the game. | |||
This is Reimu on the walkthrough. I'll only give hints for parts that are | |||
probably tough to beat. | |||
(It is indeed a rudely written walkthrough) | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |||
●Stage 1 | |||
Well, there's nowhere that's particularly difficult. Just don't die. | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |||
☆Stage 1 Boss (Makai's gatekeeper, Sara) | |||
There shouldn't be much problems with her. | |||
○First attack | |||
4 types of random attack patterns are used. | |||
○Second attack | |||
She uses 4 types of random attack patterns for this one as well. | |||
First and second attacks both consist of random attacks, but she never | |||
uses the same attack pattern twice. | |||
○Third attack | |||
Just spam your fire to her directly. The lasers never reach you so it's easy. | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |||
●Stage 2 | |||
You might die accidentally from all those enemies charging down on you. | |||
Just be careful and don't let your guards down. | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |||
☆Stage 2 Boss (Makai girl, Louise) | |||
○First attack | |||
Omnidirectional red bullets and blue bullets. | |||
Be careful of the blue bullets especially. To avoid this, move to the | |||
slow side first and then find a way to slip out. | |||
The red bullets have large enough gaps to move through so just be careful. | |||
○Second attack | |||
Scattering bullets. Attack her directly in the front if possible. | |||
○Third attack | |||
Spamming lasers and spinning bullets. | |||
The lasers are pretty fast so watch out. Just don't move around unnecessarily. | |||
○Fourth attack | |||
Fan-shaped line of fire. Move around slightly at the center. | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |||
●Stage 3 | |||
You'll see more bullets from here on so be careful as you go. | |||
The bullets fired by the enemies appearing from the sides can be a pressure. | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |||
☆Stage 3 Boss (Girl of Death, Alice) | |||
○Normally | |||
She always attacks you with her dolls so you need to improvise on your | |||
ways of avoiding bullets. | |||
Basically focus on the attack from Alice herself. Maybe it'll be easier to | |||
avoid all the bullets by keeping your movements to the minimal. | |||
Also, the attack pattern changes when she's using the following barrier | |||
attack so watch out. | |||
○With barrier | |||
Shoot at the barrier, and your shots will be reflected. If you want to play | |||
safely just don't shoot. She'll return back to her normal attacks soon. | |||
○Final attack | |||
Her scattering bullets seem tough to avoid upon inspection, but it's simple. | |||
lure her bullets from around the front of Alice, then move around to avoid | |||
the bullets, and you'll be able to defeat her. | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |||
●Stage 4 | |||
Watch out for the mid-boss. For the red bullets especially, stay away from | |||
moving around unnecessarily. Just locate a blind spot and fight without | |||
moving. Also, watch out for the two places where enemies charge out towards | |||
you from the bottom of the screen. Keep in mind these locations and don't | |||
go near the edges of the screen. | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |||
☆Stage 4 boss first half (Magicians Yuki(girl in black) & Mai(girl in white)) | |||
For the first half both of them will attack you, but the attack combinations | |||
are not random so it's easy to deal with them. | |||
Also, the boss health gauge shows the sum of the hit points of both. | |||
○First attack | |||
Various scattering attacks. Depending on where they are sometimes it's hard | |||
to avoid the attacks so be ready to use the bomb. | |||
○Second attack | |||
Watch out for Mai's lasers. Upon that, you might get killed by Yuki when | |||
you get startled by Mai's attack. Just be ready to use a bomb in case. | |||
○Third attack | |||
They resort back to scattering attacks. Carry on attacking them and you'll | |||
have no problem. | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |||
☆Stage 4 Boss second half 1 (Magician Yuki) | |||
When you defeat Mai (the white one) in the first half you'll fight Yuki. | |||
○First attack | |||
Super-slow bullets with scattering linear fire. Take care as you move on. | |||
○Second attack | |||
Omnidirectional attack and 5-way giant bullets. Just watch out for the | |||
very beginning of the attack. | |||
○Third attack | |||
Speed bullets. Might seem rough, but it only looks that way and not that | |||
difficult. | |||
○Fourth attack | |||
Giant bullets and speed bullets. The giant bullets block your vision and | |||
way of shooting so watch out. Avoid speed bullets with minimal movement | |||
among gaps. Still, be ready to use a bomb just in case. | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |||
☆Stage 4 Boss second half 2 (Magician Mai) | |||
When you defeat Yuki (the black one) in the first half you'll fight Mai. | |||
○First attack | |||
Two different attack patterns alternate. Stay directly in front of the boss. | |||
○Second attack | |||
Laser attack. The laser keeps spinning. Don't get confused and avoid them. | |||
When the direction of the laser changes its hitbox sometimes does not change | |||
so watch out for collision-detection errors. Stay a bit away from lasers. | |||
○Third attack | |||
The shuriken-shaped enemy bullets bend in towards you, but try attacking | |||
right in front of the boss. That is the "blind spot (death spot)" for her. | |||
○Fourth attack | |||
Reflection bullets and explosion bullets. Really tough. Maybe you want to | |||
use a bomb first. | |||
But if you're playing for scoring, probably you might want to wait until | |||
the screen is covered in bullets and then defeat her... | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |||
●Stage 5 | |||
During the latter half of the stage, the enemies start running wild. | |||
There's no special way to deal with them so keep your eyes skinned. | |||
Use a bomb if there's no way out. | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |||
☆Stage 5 Boss (Makai maid, Yumeko) | |||
Toughest boss you'll have fought so far in this game. | |||
○First attack | |||
Her sword attacks aren't that tough. What's even tougher is her | |||
spamming those red bullets wildly. | |||
There's no special way to deal with them. Just use a bomb if you're | |||
stuck. Evading once does not mean you can evade twice so watch out. | |||
○Second attack | |||
Sword attack with linear bullets. Avoid bullets while focusing on the | |||
swords. | |||
The more damage she gets, the shorter her attack period becomes. | |||
In overall, her attacking speed is fast so don't let your guard down | |||
(cries) | |||
○Third attack | |||
Two types of attack, neither of which are difficult. | |||
○Fourth attack | |||
Along with the second attack, a laser is fired. Deal with it just the way | |||
you did with the second attack, but easier said than done. Probably you'll | |||
have to use a bomb. | |||
○Fifth attack | |||
Swords fly at you from both sides of the screen and she herself opens a | |||
5-way fire. Tough to deal with so take her down ASAP. | |||
○Sixth attack | |||
She fires randomly at you. A pretty chill attack pattern. | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |||
●Stage 6 | |||
Boss appears right after the point items are sprayed. | |||
Just don't die randomly. | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |||
☆Final Boss (Makai God, Shinki) | |||
As the final boss she's tough to deal with. Since you've made it all the way | |||
here, you'll want to defeat her, right? | |||
○First attack (without wings) | |||
No...... Problem? | |||
○Second attack (without wings) | |||
Watch out for her random scattering bullets. | |||
○Third attack (preparing for her wings) | |||
Her wings start appearing here. Watch out for the bullets when the wings form. | |||
Though it's one occasion it might be tough to avoid them so be ready to use | |||
a bomb. | |||
○Fourth attack (A pair of white wings 1) | |||
The large blue bullets free-fall on top of you. Normal-sized bullets can be | |||
evaded if you move around a little bit. If there's no gap to move through | |||
the large blue bullets, just use a bomb without hesitation. | |||
○Fifth attack (A pair of white wings 2) | |||
As long as you move around a little bit you'll be able to avoid the blue | |||
bullets. Lure the homing lasers and avoid them. | |||
○Sixth attack (preparing to change to black wings) | |||
She starts shaking and changes her wings to black. She sprays large bullets | |||
then, but they're no problem at all. | |||
○Seventh attack (A pair of black wings 1) | |||
Covers herself with formalized red bullets and rapidly fires player-aimed | |||
giant bullets. | |||
A severe attack for those who aren't used to it. Basically you avoid it | |||
with one swift and large movement... | |||
Never get cornered at one end of the screen. Don't just move left and right: | |||
Move up and down as well (Isn't that obvious? lol) | |||
○Eighth attack (A pair of black wings 2) | |||
Pincer-attacking lasers and rapid fire of giant bullets. Pretty tough. | |||
You must move around at a minimum to avoid the giant bullets. Deal enough | |||
damage and the laser will start pincer-attacking you, but you avoid them | |||
the same way. Just focus on the giant bullets. As time passes, the number | |||
of giant bullets increase. | |||
The giant bullets have a significantly small hitbox, so don't move around too | |||
much and evade them so that only half of your body is covered by the bullet. | |||
○Ninth attack (No wings again) | |||
Final attack. If you've made it thus far you're just about to clear the game, | |||
but don't take it easy on her. | |||
Not to mention the case when you've no lives left, but if you do have lives | |||
left since you can get the lives-left-bonus, don't die here. Depending on | |||
how she moves, the giant bullets might be tough to evade. | |||
Now, let's try our best to all-clear the game! | |||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |||
●Extra Stage | |||
This time, the enemies in the Extra Stage aren't that tough. Please don't | |||
die on the way. | |||
Since there aren't that many chances to earn an extra life, a simple mistake | |||
can be really costly. Yeah, life's harsh. | |||
---------------------------------------------------- | |||
☆Extra Stage Boss (Alice of the Magic Land) | |||
She has up to nine different attacks. | |||
1st, 2nd attack: Red magic (fire magic) | |||
3rd, 4th attack: Blue magic (ice magic) | |||
5th, 6th attack: Purple magic (purple laser attack) | |||
7th, 8th attack: Green magic (green bullets with homing lasers) | |||
9th attack: Yellow magic (The ultimate multi-directional attack (lol)) | |||
All attacks are difficult~(cries) | |||
