 ■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)
