Touhou Hollow Song of Birds Hard 1cc (Reimu Red)
A Hard 1cc of new fangame Touhou Hollow Song of Birds using the Reimu Red shottype.
Some thoughts:
Demo stages: still very good music, danmaku could a bit more active. Good boss fights.
Stage 4: Music is good but it feels *really* out of place. Sounds like it came from RSS or MPP or something. Especially if you compare it with the stage themes on either sides of it.
Stage 5: Masterful orchestration on the stage portion, though it can get a little hectic in lunatic
Set: Easy on hard mode, hell on lunatic mode
Stage 6: Amazing orchestration yet again, that part where you ascend the pyramid shaft and fairies come out of it is so cool.
Hourou: Meh, the whole "oh the boss is a little girl with a cutesy theme" thing made me feel like Set was the real final boss. The spells are alright.
Overall, boss themes didn't really make a heavy impression on me.
Favourite stage (gameplay): Stage 5
Favourite boss (gameplay): Set
Favourite track: Stage 1, 5, 6 in that order
