Ore no Animism 3 - The Marching on Fire | Normal mode 1cc | Natsume
Ore no Animism is a touhou inspired shmup with furry characters, this is the third game in the series.
Your rank acts as a score multiplier. You increase rank by not dying and grazing. At high rank enemies also start to fire suicide bullets. Your extends come from score, so you should try to stay at a high rank.
There is also a flame icon on the thermometer, you increase it by collecting fire items. Your rank will act a a threshold that you need to reach to charge a release/flashbomb, making it harder to charge at high rank. It does not fail spells (which are called tricks in this game). You are also not invincible during the release so be careful with bullets you can't cancel and enemy hitboxes.
I chose Natsume because her focused homing is pretty good for stages and her unfocused shot does good damage. Though you will have to dodge unfocused to deal optimal damage. Her bomb is also random, I usually never have problems with it, but it could spawn in a way that deals a lot less damage.
Sasuke's last spell can't be cancelled by your release, but can by your bomb, except the bullets don't respawn so you can just sit still for the rest of the spell. Zeno's last spell is also pretty weird. I have no idea how to deal with the blue squiggly stuff that he fires at the end so I also just bomb it.
The game also has a TLB which is a timeout, It's not very hard, at least on normal, but the last phase can get pretty weird so I just use a release.
