I finally got around to making a WWW LNB video. I've seen some talk about this game lately in the Touhou ~ Fanworks 'n Chill Discord server (which you should totally join btw), and that inspired me to play it again today. I picked Reimu because I didn’t want to use the OP Marisa lol.
WWW is one of those games where the patterns seem tough at first but become pretty easy once learned. For LNB difficulty, I’d rank it around low-average, slightly easier than MoF feels about right. I think this is one of the few fangames with a consistent difficulty curve, since each stage and boss felt harder than the last. You really need to stay focused at all times, as the hypersonic-speed bullets can catch you off guard if you’re not careful, which actually makes for an exhilarating experience.
Back then I didn’t really care much about this game, but this recent playthrough made me appreciate WWW a bit more. It’s one of the most consistent fangames in terms of quality, every aspect of it is at the very least decent. It’s also refreshing to play a Touhou STG fangame where a credit doesn’t take 30+ minutes, so I really appreciate the fast-paced nature of this one. I also respect Oligarchomp for being able to create the game almost entirely by himself, with only the music outsourced to others.
