Touhou Dream Runner: A Short Rhythm Game Starring Youmu
66I gotta work on these titles... Anyhow, this is Touhou Dream Runner, another Touhou FanGame Jam, more specifically the 8th Edition; It's a very simple yet challenging Rhythm game that takes inspiration from "Rhythm Doctor, Muse Dash, Rhythm Heaven and Reflec Beat.", that is what is said on the page.
I'm not exactly the right person to "review" this genre of games as I've not played many, still, the few times i did, it was quite enjoyable. TDR feels pretty challenging (at least to me), especially because the game does not have a rating system at all, rather the only "grade" you can obtain is a simple "PERFECT"; the game will not bother with anything but that, as you'll get pushed into the ending of the game no matter how well or badly you've played the entire game. It is a Jam game after all.
Despite all, i would like if there was a "fuller version", with either more story or just more stages, as being able to perfect a stage feels extremely satisfying and i also enjoyed the remixes made for the game.
Game only requires a single button of the keyboard or the mouse to be played ("Controls : Left click, Space, A, S, D, Z, X, or C (Use any)"). Doesn't get more straightforward than this.
This is a full playthrough with the intro and ending but you should definitely give the game a try, it's pretty nice!
