东方琴鼓歌 (Touhou osu!) v2.1.0 || Song Pack 4 (Omega/Phi Rank)
88Alright, there goes another pack of awesome songs to play! Maybe these aren't the hardest in the game, but for certain are great to play and listen to. Enjoy~!
(Note: Overdrive songs from Pack 4 are intentionally skipped - they will be shown in separate video)
----------
东方琴鼓歌 ~ Thunder Drum and Mysterious Rhythm is a Touhou fangame based on LuaSTG engine, made by 吃药图书 (https://space.bilibili.com/24053931) - the same guy responsible for LuaSTG Multi-Boss Rush (https://youtu.be/NIakZN6b9Nw) and "Gensokyo's Day and Night Incident" (https://youtu.be/9NFK3XvbcNs).
The game combines Touhou with osu!'s three game modes: Mania, Taiko and Catch the Beat. During all 47 tracks available, one will have to dodge the bullets, and also tap to the beat - during Mania, Taiko or CtB sections! Sometimes you'll face one of these, sometimes all of them, or even switching each other rapidly on the highest difficulties.
All the tracks have awesome Touhou remixes, from really great albums (some of them I listened personally. Yep, many of them slaps hard). This makes the game and tracks very unique, and the experience there is incredible.
(While I'm concerned about legal usage of them, I guess it is fine as long as dev doesn't monetize the game or anything.)

[ SONG PACKS & DIFFICULTIES ]
Currently, there are 7 song packs. Song Pack #2 is basically a tutorial. Song Pack #1 contains special songs. These are usually hard to unlock, also they are generally difficult. The others are your usual songs, with various range of difficulties.
Overall difficulty ranges from Easy, through Lunatic, to even Overdrive++. Difficulty notation for tracks is an average of bullet attacks and specific rhythm modes' difficulties.
Easy and Normal might have one or two rhythm modes along dodging. Mode switching is distinct.
Hard mode can have two modes implemented into track, but generally without really rapid switching between them.
Lunatic and Overdrive traccks, on the other hand, are super tough. Mostly they consist of super difficult Mania tracks or quick switches between multiple modes, along with Lunatic-level bullet attacks.
----------
[ ACHIEVEMENTS & OTHERS ]
The game contains achievements, and they have various rarity. Requirements are unfortunately in Chinese, which doesn't help in acquiring them.
Apart from that, in settings (second to last menu) you can test rhythm settings, adjust offset, speed of Mania/Taiko/CtB elements arrival, or even speed of the game (And yes! Songs adjusts to it as well, although it awfully sounds then...). In other two settings menus you can set key bindings for player moving and Taiko/Mania.
I do really hope for English language support (or English patch). It would make things way easier. Nonetheless, one should find that in menus without much trouble.

[ TRIVIA ]
- This game was made all by hand, without usage of LuaSTG Editor. Which makes it incredible, but it's also understandable. These wonders couldn't be possible merely with a GUI editor.
- You noticed game's version, right? It's v2.10 right now. Several weeks ago it was at v1.00, but was waaaay too strict in terms of gaining score and ranks. Dodging alone is tricky, but pulling off all perfects in Mania mode is quite challenging. (I can compare both versions if there's a demand for it - just let me know :))
