Touhou 东方夏夜祭 ~ Shining Shooting Star - Lunatic 1cc Full Borders

[@yasendai]

This game is very beautiful. The background art, the danmaku patterns, the characters, and the music itself were all spectacular. I can tell the OST lives up to the quality of Touhou due to how the stage and boss themes go in sync with some of the segments of the gameplay.

[@x1g5dj7dh4]

There's definitely a very Chinese influence on the music.

[@seven0929]

That's because the art is made after the music!

[@euniceerica]

Stage 4 is the best example. The boss' theme is just perfect with the syncing.

[@qbek_san]

music is technically nice, but lacks ZUN's soul.

[@Araneus21]

You are aware this concept has game-making potential ? Imagine a Youkai that was born from a danmaku bullet, gained sapience and caused an incident to force the heroines and their enemies to shoot as many bullets as possible since they as the mastermind get more powerful the more bullets are shot. Imagine the implications on gameplay, the more you shoot, the more powerful the final boss is. And the higher the difficulty level, the more bullet variety there is. Play as a trigger happy person ? Conserve ammo ? Only shoot the boss ? Pacifist playthrough ? All is possible in this case. Forward this to ZUN or something

This is one of the few fangames I've seen with music memorable enough to get me humming to it. Quite nice!

[@Script_Mak3r]

Reimu must have felt horrible having to avoid all of that money. :V All in all, though, this game is very pretty.

[@Setixir]

This is probably the first Touhou game where I think the stages are just absolutely incredible. They feel like shmup stages. Zun has a heavy reliance on streaming or just plain stupidity in his stages where as this one just felt...nice. Difficult but nice. Then again I felt the music and just about everything else about this game was amazing too. A bit generous on the resources maybe but otherwise so good.

[@redcaravan141]

[@nazrin992]

The music actually reminds me of modernized PC98 Touhou music actually. It is more relaxed pace than the modern Touhou music. Then again, relaxed? Probably the reason why I can't exactly hum the music the way ZUN's captures me. To each of their own. I would say the visuals and presentation is really great for a fangame. Like the usage of old Touhou(?) engine instead of Danmakufu.

[@WishMakers]

I dunno about that in terms of stage design. Recently, that definitely is the case, especially with Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, but I think 10-12 had fantastic stage design (Particularly UFO, UFO has some of the most interesting stage design in the whole series). But I won't deny that this game is also fantastic.

I don't get it, I mean the hit box thing. @ 1:11 the players hit box (the red circle) clearly comes into contact with an enemy projectile and it doesn't register as a hit? Also how do the big rounds work? Later in the stages (don't want to look for the exact time but you see them throughout the game in a few stages) there are big projectiles that are basically a disk of light, brightest on the outside and gets darker (fades) towards the center, they are almost twice as big as the player... at some point there is a ton of them coming down the player and he goes through them, not entirely, not through the dark center but the players hit box is traveling through the bright light portion of the disk/projectile... WTF?

[@monument-cafe]

D Sandoval if you are still accepting replies: 1. This game has a 1px hitbox. It's smaller than the visible hitbox. 2. Those bullets with brightness on the outside and darkness on the inside are probably what are called bubble bullets -- their sprites are larger than the hitboxes they possess. The hitbox is the inner part, the darker part of the bubble. You can go through the white / light part of the bullet and not due to it.

[@monument-cafe]

dow kow After images? Also, part of games like these are memorization, knowing your hitbox, and bullet reading, least for me. For example, take Ami's first boss spell in the video. After knowing how the bullets in that attack are fired, you might find a consistent way to dodge them (I did, but I just can't execute it easily since I am not used to micro dodging as much as streaming). Practice makes perfect, as they say, so I'd keep practicing if I were you. Best of luck out there with games like these.

Everything except the music seems pretty good. I'd give it a 2 out of 10.

[@FrogmaskMusic]

the guitars are honestly what ruin some songs tbh

[@Setixir]

I respectfully disagree with that. I think the guitars add a sense of epic encounter when dealing with the final bosses. I really though the music was quite nice.

[@balneor]

I'ts true that the guitars makes some very cool themes, like that stage 1 boss, or stage 5's one. However in my opinion most of the music of this game is flawed by something. That stage 5 boss, is flawed because the ZUNpets are overused at one point, and while the first time it sound cool, after that it becomes annoying (Even if the melody is nicely made). That's the main flaw of the music in this game, imo. Everything has some really good melodies (Especially that stage 4 boss and extra's), but the musics themselves are not always enjoyable. You rather listens to the main melody than the entire track. That stage 6 boss theme, at around 29:46, sounds pretty damn epic (Especially if it syncs with the survival), but other than that i'ts not really memorable for a final boss. To be honest I've expected some music quality as same as FDF's. While SSS sounds good most of the time, I wasn't particularly impressed with it. If I had to give it a rating, I would put 15/20 for SSS, and 18/20 for FDF.

[@FrogmaskMusic]

+Balneor the guitars just sound a little cheesy to me, tbh ...though you're right about the instrumentation being the real flaw 11 keeps using the same instruments over and over again in a very un-interesting way
