This is a very cute short game! The simple gameplay makes for a fun challenge thanks to how well they're built upon as the game goes. On top of the variety of foes and projectiles, the cute fluffy sketch style, the music, and baseline story are all executed well and fit the theme phenomenally. Overall, its all-around excellent presentation makes it one of my personal favorites! ^.^

This is a cool concept, but I keep clicking out of the game's window and unfocusing (probably a consequence of being a left-hander using a right hand mouse). If there's a way to add a fullscreen mode I would greatly appreciate it.

At the beginning I was doing simple slashes but when I figured out I would just swirl around my sword it became much more intuitive and easy but there is no need for explanations it something that once you discover it on your own is like OOOOH!! hahahaha It's actually very tight and fun, I love games that feel very tactile, it reminds me to the Wii era :3

My Favorite Part: The fluffy art style and the cracking eggs and shooting them projectiles!

Interesting but confusing gameplay.

I was wondering who these homophobic, produce-rich antagonists were until we got to the end, then it all made sense. Still a waste of food though ;_;

Great game, very good use of simple mechanics. I liked how nothing had to be communicated by words for me to understand how the game's difficulty was evolving over time. Also udomyon great ship. Panchamon stays malding.

I found the game really difficulty until I realized you can just hold and drag the mouse to have a permanent wall of "cut hitbox" deployed. This made the game quite easy instead. Cute visuals and music! I agree that something like a combo counter would have made it into more of a game.

Seamless work with introducing new gameplay mechanics such as the rabbits and eggs into the mix. I especially enjoyed the eggs and how you could shoot them on beat with the music in a sense--it felt like Youmu and Reisen were very in sync with each other. Overall a wonderful entry!

A fruit ninja-like game with slight shooting gallery mechanics is actually pretty fun! I think I would like it more the game had stages with a shorter runtime personally. A small combo meter would also be really neat!
Also, bonus points on making the rabbits dodge.

Most serene walking date in Gensokyo.

  Really neat for a 10-minute game. There isn't really anything of note other than the mouse controls work very well, feels superb to use.
  I did click outside of the game by accident a couple times though, even accidentally went to another page.

Anyway, the gap between the cute artstyle + endearing music and all the chaos that's being thrown at them, it's so damn funny! Reisen just can't catch a break in this Jam, can she?

This game is a absolute delight. The idea a lot is great, fruit ninja + point n click go together really well and this game helps support it extremely well with the use of eggs and pizza. Its polished to a T and the game feel is great. The soft cute muisc and backdrop of Youmu and Reisen walking is really sweet and gives a light romance that I really enjoy with my ships personally. This game biggest down side is its sound design, Youmu's sword sound gets a little draining after a bit.

Overall, I LOVE this game and I think its short n sweet.
