Love her design.
An ugoira from everyone's favorite Terajin:

Love her design.
Amen to that. Hecatia has one of the best designs in the series IMO (Then again I do have biases for Touhou characters with more contemporary designs).

Finally decided to start LOLK and I gotta say, the music is really nice and the character designs are pretty great. Went through Stage 1 without a hitch, hit a few snags with Stage 2 and I've just been dying more as the stages have been going on. As someone whose only normal clears are for the spinoffs, I do like the Pointdevice system.
My only problem is that I feel like the game's ruining my eyes. Besides the bright UI, the colors for a lot of patterns + the background have been really sore on the eyes at times (because of all this, I think I've gotten a headache from Clownpiece's 1st nonspell, which is already super hard for my eyes to keep up with). Does anybody have any tips or hints for that part? I've tried focusing on the bottom only (along with the indicator that shows where she is) but it's taken 50ish tries already with no success
May god have mercy on your soul because I have no tips for her first two non spells. You just got to stay at the bottom and dodge left and right while staying within the laser beams. It's ridiculously hard and sometimes she goes a bit downward causing the attack to become harder.
Sooo... I've never played a Touhou game, but I'm willing to give the series a shot. I know Playism released Double Dealing Character over here, so that's the most convenient option... is it worth trying out, and why?
My concern is the level of polish.
On another note, here's an accordion version of Clownpiece's theme
So after choking about a billion times (so many deaths at the 1 second mark >:|), I finally managed to beat that damned Moon spell (stars are now officially the worst type of bullet, I really shoulda known just from fighting Marisa in IN though)
I beat her second non-spell in one whole try. I feel pretty good about that honestly. I found it way, way easier to react to than her nonspell for some reason, either it's the momentum from beating the last card or I was just not in a good mood for the first nonspell.
Uh in other stuff, I've been re-getting into Touhou again (mostly because I have a computer with easy access again) and just wanted to recommend Do Your Best (;_ Kogasa Chan! and the Immortal Who Saw the Death of the Universe. Kogasa chan! was just a great laugh and the second one, I enjoyed the concept of seeing what would happen to the Houraijin Immortals when the Earth gets destroyed (though I have to admit that it's way too cutesy for the subject/theme)
Also apparently Carcharias is gonna finish Soga no Tojiko which is great! I honestly thought it'd never get finished
EDIT: FFS this laser has to be trolling me. I keep adjusting where I start the spellcard and I still keep getting hit on the opening phase
EDIT 2: Yep it's a homing laser. Thanks Clownpiece, thanks a lot.
Thankfully Clownpiece gets easier in the latter half of her battle.
I really, really hope so
I mean I'm not gonna quit (there's no way I'm gonna pass up clearing the game with this kind of system) but I really kinda wanna play other stuff since this is really soaking up my time lol
I found some way to cheese the lasers so far. I start off right (so then the homing stars go right) then move down with the lasers and if I time it right, I can bypass the stars completely and then repeat the process. Nearly managed to time it out too (I'll take what I can get ), just gotta get this down.
EDIT: Really? REALLY? I died a millisecond after the end (as in she'd already dropped the item points) and it didn't count. I AM SO MAD RIGHT NOW

Late to the Hecatia love, but yes, her design is superb. Best character from LoLK.
Wait, seriously? I've been wanting this for ages, don't be getting my hopes up over nothi--
HELL YES. This story is probably the main reason I have any love for the TD cast.
Up to Junko's second to last spell card. So dang close. I'm super tempted to bomb the last few seconds (I got enough pieces for a second bomb during the fight). I'm really dreading her last card, it's apparently a survival card? I guess that's a really strong incentive to not bomb lol. Still, I'm awful at survival card (I've never captured any in a game outside of practice mode)
I hate to bring you bad news but Junko's survival is her second to last card. Her last spellcard is really really really difficult and I need at least two bombs to do it consistently, with just one it's still really hard.
You can hug Sagume's feet during the card where she throws everything and the kitchen sink at you, it's a safe spot.
Huh, I'll have to try that out sometime
I'm at the survival spellcard and it is unsurprisingly the worst. What I hate the most is that I keep getting hit by the bullet spawn instead of the homing stuff. I also don't have enough bombs to bypass it and also bypass the next card just in case it's too hard so I've got to do this right. Ughh
EDIT: Well, screw it. I dropped two bombs with dodging for the survival card and then just dropped my last two bombs for the last portion of the final card
Guess I'm finally done! Got my first Normal difficulty, mainline game clear (and probably my only one unless this system comes back :/). I guess there's always the spinoff games to clear speaking of which, I wonder when 14.7 is gonna come out.
There is always the extra stage you can suffer though.
I'm sure this has already been asked, but is Double Dealing Character a not-terrible place to get started? I know the OP talks about good places to start, but this one is definitely appealing because it's a simple western $15 digital release and I don't have to deal with importing a physical copy. If so I'll definitely pick it up. I like Cave shmups casually and I've always wanted to check out Touhou.
I wouldn't. Start with one that was actually translated. Don't support lazy publishers. No Touhou fan, or fan of niche games period, should give Playism a dime. Start with EoSD if you can.
Pretty sure there's a demo in the wild.
OK, thank you for the advice. EoSD is cheaper than I expected on Amazon, so I guess I'll probably start with that one.

Gonna be attempting a serious 1cc this week, my last one was like, touhou 4. Dunno which yet. I don't think I 1cc'd any of the windows games...
Gave a couple runs at MoF and SA, I'm so rusty but surprisingly I got deathbombs left and right. I doubt I'll get any of them when it matters though.
Yeah definitely, except for HRtP. The bosses are completely different in structure (and also shorter I think).Would you consider the PC98 games easier to 1cc? Just kinda interested in knowing. I've only really tried out PODD and HRtP properly
This Saturday, NicoNico will broadcast a 8-hour special show, the 20th anniversary drinking party for Touhou Project.
The description page says there will be trailer(s) for new game(s), which likely will be some new fan games being ported by the Play,Doujin! programme, because Aqua Style has already said they have new games to announce this week.
However, this may also be a new official game. They've got ZUN as the "main star", and they've got Twilight Frontier as guests. Everything is possible.
I'm playing ULiL with a Gamecube controller.
It's going surprisingly well so far, any complex inputs I should worry about?
