東方祈華夢 ～ Elegant Impermanence of Sakura (Demo 2) || Lunatic 2MNB (Marisa&Yuyuko)
77The new EIoS demo arrived recently, exactly three weeks ago. And I must say WOW, that is the most massive change I've ever seen in the game's demos. Nearly everything got revamped, starting with patterns, mechanics and tweaks on the music. I'm in awe.
Btw, please take my apologies I'm making the video just now. I'm simply bad at prioritizing newest fangames recently, but that's something I'm working on lol.
----------
The new system can be described as this (taken mostly from @williewillus, I couldn't make more precise description):
System is based on "dyeing" enemies. Enemies can be colorless, green, blue, or red, indicated by the small animated swirling texture on small fry and by the aura, for large fairies. Killing large fairies dyes small fry around them that large fairy's color (there are only red and blue large fairies - there might and will appear already green-dyed enemies on some stage parts). If a small fry already has a color, dyeing it again will immediately kill the foe (known has double-dyeing). Additionally, double-dying 3 or more enemies at a time increases your PIV and chain combo in the HUD, the latter being necessary to unlock last spells.
Colorless and green-dyed enemies drop items to fill your bombs, red-colored enemies drop items to fill lives, blue enemies drop point items (which also fill your bombs).
Killing undyed or green enemies produces large amounts of revenge bullets on higher difficulties, so you're highly encouraged to dye things before killing them. Dyed enemies are also easier to kill, as their HP lowers as a result of it.
----------
To be fair, it's quite difficult to make proper routes, especially given piercing-type shot that makes Marisa&Yuyuko duo. Very easy to kill dyed enemies on accident. I was about to reach third stage condition for the last spell, yet failed doing so. Meh, maybe next time. All of it is not bad but I wish for some adjustment in terms of colors chain condition or its gain. It imposes a big challenge to reach LS.
