I had a sneaking feeling that there was something about Utsuho that made her much more difficult than some of the others. Of course it would be that. I mean, controlling her as a character I already know she's ridiculously overpowered, at least to me -- I like her fire and forget orb-laser-thing that shoots into the air and fires down four or so times.


I'm at 121 souls for now, just about every other boss has not given me a problem, though some stages are of course much, much more frustrating than others, haha.

Thank you so much for your advice! I'm going to post again when I manage to hit 200, just for the sheer satisfaction of having done it.

I would also like to add that somebody posted a custom mod in here that added more characters. It is entirely legit and virus free and holy hell I finally get to play as Meiling. Seriously, I was so sad when she wasn't originally a PC. XD. Oh, also , is there a way to donate to you, for your future projects? Not sure if I missed it.

HAHAHAHA!!! very nice game !!!! i know touhou because of this game XDXD
I love touhou! I especially like the graphics of this game.
Sorry, I'm new here. I don't know where to reply and such.
Anyway this game is really awesome.
Though the question I made was a mistake.
I'm still stuck on getting Alice and the rest.
Sorry...

The game isn't plot driven, I think in terms of gameplay alone it should still hold up.
Hi.Estheone I have found a bug/glitches how I can fix this bug? Pls help

This.

I will post the link to the video

It's the first time I see that.
Sorry, I really have no idea.
Hey! I'm still playing the game after all this time (finally 100%'d on Lunatic, took me 70 hours total!) and I've actually modded some few extra playable characters in (like Meiling). Not sure if you're okay with this (I'm not thinking about distributing any mods I make either way) but I kinda want to make new extra maps but this weird tileset thing makes it practically impossible. Could I get some help? thanks.

Edit: I spent more time than I should, but I don't need help anymore. This is a great game and I'm looking forward to all of your future projects.
Sorry for not answering, I don't come here much anymore (this game is nearly 4 years old after all).

You can do whatever you want with the game and if you change your mind you can distribute your mods too, no problem.
It's probably too late but here's a link to the tileset editor program I've used for mapping.
Hello. I have been playing this game for a long time, and almost completed the game (Some character out there I have to find and a bit of wandering souls) But I have a problem with the Orbs Puzzle in the Netherworld Secret Stage, I've found all the indicators for the order of the Orbs but I just can kill 4 orbs, and after that they dissappear and I can't advance to the silver chest.
Is it a problem or am I missing something?

Sorry for my bad english
The right order is blue, red, green, yellow. The position of each orb is random but it doesn't matter, only the colors matter.
I tried it again on the 1.02 version to make sure and it works just fine.

Fantastic game! Thank you so much!

I did my first playthrough on Normal, because I never played any Touhou games but they have a reputation for being hard. Normal was a bit too easy, but still very fun. I got 200 souls ^^

Now I'm trying it on Lunatic (in the scarlet mansion currently), and oh boy, the suffering is real lol. I modded the game to make it so that calling the party member switch menu with the "R" button fully heals my party so I don't have to wait around for regen between fights.
Played on Hard. A very poor choice, since the game kicked my @$$ all the way through. BUT, I admit it's a very well made game. There are so many parts in the game that made me throw my theoretical controller to the wall, and then some. It's extremely tough, but when I finally got to the end it was all worth it. And then there was a New Game+ right after. So the grind continued for who knows how long. Ended up getting all 200 souls somehow. I didnt get 100% because i assumed that u have to buy all the items in the shop to get that so I didnt bother. Great game.
I do a bunch of games on my YouTube channel, is it alright to show or mention this game on it
Hey, I want to know how to get the hidden soul in Nowhere Dimension Stage 4, I can't reach the invisible floor no matter what, can you make a video or a picture?
(Nevermind, I found a video that explains it)
