Touhou Scarlet Labyrinth
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
This game was made to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Touhou 6: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, paying homage to one of Reimu's most important adventures.
Re-explore the Scarlet Devil Mansion in this Metroidvania-like reimagining of the original game as you dodge and weave around bullet hell patterns while returning fire of your own in twin-stick shooter combat.
And in true Touhou 6 style, you can't see your own hurtbox... let me assure you though, it is much smaller than the actual sprite.
This game was downscaled a lot from the original idea; it currently features one boss and two upgrades that will allow you to explore further reaches of the mansion. This game may receive updates in the future to reach its intended full scale, however the fate of the project is uncertain. Any gates lacking switches to open them is a consequence of downscaling.

That's pretty cool!
Some things I have to say though, the enemy firing sounds stack so it gets pretty loud when the fairies all shoot at the same time. The black cursor I think doesn't stand out enough from the red backgrounds (it was easy for me to lose my cursor of my sight when I'm busy looking at enemies, or even the Meiling boss. And the pressure plates aren't visible enough, they don't stand out well.
But these aside, wow it's so cool! The level feels maze-like and yet is well thought with progression in mind, and the aerial fighting feels really good even if it's quite simple. Very good boss fight too.
Anyway, good game, glad to have this for EoSDay!
