Well, it's Steam winter sale time again, which means two things:
1. Grab any good-looking shmups that are on sale
2. RIP my wallet -.-
Barrage Musical is reminiscent of most of the WIndows-era Touhou games, and while it doesn't do a lot that's new, what it does do, it does well (except maybe the translation, but ... hey).
Normal in this game isn't tough to clear at all, especially since the game rains resources down on you -- bombs are every 100k coins (and bombs aren't lost when you die), and extends are every 200m * 2^n points (where n is how many extends you've already gotten, so 200m, 400m, 800m, and so on). I'm thinking Hard won't be too much tougher to clear.
Getting the good ending, on the other hand, is a bit tougher, at least at first -- you have to have 1.3m coins by the time Frenio (the stage 5 boss) appears, and on this run I barely made that.
