I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, being able to see the hitbox when focusing makes a lot of difference! I couldn’t see it in Touhou 06, so its Extra Stage was hellish…that and the fact that you only get four lives at maximum (I can only make it to Flandre with three though lol).
This time, this Extra Stage was easier to clear, still was a challenge, but managed to clear it in a lot less attempts than Touhou 06!
I learned my lesson and learned to use bombs whenever I have even the slightest feeling I’ll get hit by a bullet. Plus, in this game when you get Cherry Bonuses you get a barrier which disintegrates all bullets onscreen after getting hit so you don’t have to waste a bomb. It makes you fail card captures if used/hit when dealing with a spellcard, but better making it through and not capture it than game over! lol
