My first Lunatic clear of this game! Possibly one of the hardest Lunatics I have cleared, although maybe not really if you consider how many resources this game gives so you can bomb your way to victory...

I say this game´s Lunatic would be somewhat similar to that of LoLK´s Lunatic, in fact I would describe it as "LoLK lite".

Why?
Basically, both games have harder than average patterns to say the least, but in a compensation of sorts, you get LOADS of resources to just tank your way through a good deal of said patterns.

The difference is that this game has *somewhat* more manageable patterns (Though Remilia honestly has little to envy to LoLK in terms of incredible difficulty in patterns), HOWEVER! You have to actually work a bit for your resources, unlike LoLK. Which may or may not actually make it harder than LoLK (Then again, Reisen and Sanae are basically easy mode there so it depends on who you use...)

Unlike LoLK, Sanae in this game is honestly far from "easy mode". From what I have heard/experienced, shes either 3rd or 4th weakest character (Tied with Reimu, maybe). She certainly makes the Remilia fight more of a pain than it should be...
That said, her "Fireworks" can make Stage sections fairly manageable if you know how to use them properly, And her bomb is pretty cool, too! So theres that. (For a No Bombs run though...hate to say this but I believe theres literally no practical reason to use her for that).

Overall I am quite happy with this clear. There are some sections that could have been better, but most of this went pretty much as I expected, or even better.

And with this clear, I consider this game as Finished. I might do a few more smaller projects with it still, but overall, yeah, I am pretty much Done with it for the time being. It was pretty damn good for a Fangame-Heck, I honestly had a better time with it than with a couple of the Official games (*Cough* TD *Cough*). However I am not doing Lunatic No Bombs any time soon, and I have kinda been wanting to go back to PCB attempts lately...

As its usual by now, in-depth details of the run on the comments section.
