A really neat game! Some of the patterns were really nice, and there's amazing concepts to see here. My only criticism for this game is that the stage section is pretty repetitive and so is the music, but other than that, it's a great entry! Thanks for joining the contest!
Really really neat game for something made in Turbowarp.
Reimu and Marisa are way too slow tho...
But patterns are neat, got that extra stage feel to it with the blindkillers and the general difficulty. Pretty solid.
Illusory spellweaver (UU submission) | Selene 4/6
Disclaimer: I will be rating down 1 star to not IGN review stuff because itch.io does not have half stars and I want to be able to distinguish scores a bit more, and realistically nothing is going to be getting a 1 for real anyways. For Visuals and Audio I'm granting +1 star for significantly original content, i.e. not mostly F2U content, but most of the score will still be if its good and fits well.
Gameplay 4/6
Played on Regular Extra.
Game lagged quite a lot when playing on Firefox so had to pull out Chrome.
You really need to have a pause menu or some other way to quick restart. It is quite annoying having to reload the game to have to retry over some early game mistake.
Reimu
Holy hell she is just unusably slow.
Marisa
Now this is more like it.
Stage section I felt was a bit bland with lots of reuse but its like inoffensive and fast I guess.
All the boss attacks I quite liked, very thematically strong and fun to dodge.
The mirror attack seemed to have broke for me after I bombed. There was just nothing on the bottom half and I just died to invisible bullets; unless you're supposed to dodge by reading from the top of the screen which is just not really doable for me.
The Marisa copy spell was pretty rude to shoot where the telegraph wasn't but I guess it is pretty fitting and also funny.
Visuals 5/6
Its generally quite nice to look at, everything looks quite clean and art is nice. My only complaint is the BG perspective is kinda off and just could use a bit more touchup.
Audio 6/6
Very nice to listen to, music is great and SFX is nice.
you can press 'q' to quick restart
Ok that is very nice to know, will keep that in mind next playthrough.
also that is what you're supposed to do for the mirror attack
the bullets on the top are mirrored but invisible on the bottom
there should be a hitbox indicator at the top that mirrors your position though
Hmm I didn't quite see one on my first playthrough, hopefully it works out next time.
