Re-Upload from my old Channel. I'm putting it up here for convenience

Turn annotations on to watch the guide!

A little Touhou fangame that I play if I wanna kill some time. It's kinda like Panel de Pon/ Pokémon Puzzle League, but with a few more twists (Example: you can rotate vertically here). Character graphics might not be state of the art, but the gameplay and sounds are excellent, though the voices can sometimes be annoying if both players start chaining too much :P.

This vid will give a quick explanation on how to play and it'll show a bit of my own gameplay as well. Once again, turn annotations on to see the explanations

I won't be giving instructions on how to download/install the game just yet. I need some more time on that

Basic controls:

Z: Confirm / Select / Switch blocks
X: Cancel / Change cursor (Horizontal/Vertical)
C: Move rows faster
A: Increase Spellcard gauge (Needs 50 nuisance each time) / Use spellcard (If gauge is full)
S: Pause / Quit match (Game will ask for confirmation)

Spellcards:

Reimu: Fantasy Seal. Reduces the opponent's nuisance to 0
Cirno: Icicle Fall. Freezes a random column on the opponent's side of the field for some time. Unable to move that column in any way while it's in effect
Marisa: Master Spark. Turns all of the user's junk into usable bullets
Sakuya: The World. Stops time on her side of the field for a certain time and makes you able to chain even if you take more time between the chains, which would normally stop the chain. Also prevents junk from dropping during the Spellcard
Patchouli: Philosopher's Stone. Not sure what it does, but it seems to remove some of your junk and add it as nuisance
Remilia: Gungnir Spear. Sends 6 unbreakable bullets as a row to the opponent's side of the field. These bullets can still be moved

NOTE: I'm using the 1.11 patch of the game which has some slight changes. You can see it at the upperleft corner in the title screen. Changes I know about are:

- Game speed now increases over time. Before the patch, it only had 1 set speed and you were stuck with that for the rest of the match
- Fixed the issue where the CPU opponent just stands there and does nothing sometimes
- Handicap works now. Select a harder handicap and you'll start with a higher speed (Explained in the vid)

There's also a Netplay option which I figured out how to use recently. If there's any request for that, I can explain it at a later time
