(NG) You're here!
Welcome to Unexplained Crisis! girls are waiting for you to solve this mess for a long while now.. Good luck!
Unlike Ikanai's Space Adventure/SATCLI/Hokuto Project, This project is actually fully complete.. with a slight caviat...
99% of the music are borrowed from other fan creators/remasters and even ZUN himself to save on time (or I just suck at making music..)
But fear not! everything else is coded, drawn, or visualised by me. I hope the original creator of the musics get the attention they deserve though.
[--------STORY--------]
A mysterious being took form in the middle of Gensokyo, Destroying the town and their residence.
Too bad that the one who usually takes care of the job is busy at Scarlet Devil Mansion.
Then comes Rin Satsuki, Nobody has ever seen her before since she's from another dimension..
This is the protagonist, can she stop the mess?
[------HOW TO PLAY-----]
---------CONTROLS--------
You play as a Shrine maiden with magic powers.
Use the [arrow keys] (or [mouse] if you use "mouse mode") to move her around, and press [Z] (cancel) to slow down, Why move around? you gotta dodge those enemies and bullets, there is alot of bullets..
Hold [X] (confirm) To fire, so you can destroy the enemies
Press [C] To bomb, you can even do it if you die to save a life.. Though, you must be SUPER fast!
To get through this game, you'll need to collect the items on the screen, dodge the bullets, defeat the enemies and bosses.
Press [P] to pause, but you have to restart stage to unpause, it's just a limitation of my code, sorry!
----------ITEMS-----------
the red P items are for power, it makes you more powerful, the purple japanese items are for POINT, the higher you collect it, the more score you get, The glowing light blue japanese orbs are DREAM, you collect 100 of them to maximize the POINT items, you lose dream by dying or bombing.
the red S items are for power, but it gives a little more.
----------STRATEGY------------
Most bullets are aimed at you, so try streaming them, by moving a bit at the time.
Also look ahead than rather than your actual position, who knows what's coming if you have tunnel vision?!

MatthewPopsicle responds:
Aww, thank you!
I'll try to improve next time, since this is the first kind of game I released on this genre, next time maybe it would look more like touhou.
rin, i thought everyone forgot her, its nice to see her again.
the game is overall good but some mechanics need an improved, like misspelling or lag spikes.
you did a good job, dont give up
MatthewPopsicle responds:
Thank you! I'll try to improve my programming next time, lag spikes are really common on this game than I anticipated
I'm pretty bad at bullet hell games, but this game's generally fun. My biggest issue is the lag spikes it gives me (not just a little frame drop, lag SPIKES with an S) with too many enemies and their bullets onscreen (bosses aren't much of a problem). I got a little lag spike in stage 3, one in stage 4, and a bunch in stage 5. My computer isn't a potato, so my issue shouldn't be my computer. Is this fixable?
Other small things: there's just a few misspellings, a possible bug with one of the bullet patterns for Vivit in stage 4, and I'm worried stage 4's and maybe stage 5's backgrounds might be a little distracting for me to dodge the bullets. Overall, solid game (without the lag spikes)!
(For the record, I have no problem moving up or down in focus mode. I'm using firefox)
MatthewPopsicle responds:
Hey! Thank you so much for checking out my game and enjoying it!
My apologies for any lag or just bad things that happens here, I haven't properly make people with a wide range of devices with different powers testing it (Mine is a windows 10 upgraded to 11 laptop) maybe next time i'll try to consider optimising the game I will be making more..
I have no possible solution for fixing the lag, but it'll be great once someone finds a way, lol
And about the Vivit thing, I didn't properly plan out one of her attacks so I just lazily cobined two of them and it constantly turns into point items, whoops.
Also, if you are using firefox, does the game seem to run in 20fps? I know it's a problem for scratch/turbowarp sometimes
If you ever make another game, try making it so you can move up and down while in Focus mode. Also I am unsure if its a Scraatch limitation but the controls are abit wonky for what Im used to in these games.
MatthewPopsicle responds:
Hm.. you can actually move up and down in focus, I don't know if it's the way the project runs on your computer or that there is a problem with your keyboard?
(Edit: I programmed this game in 30fps, so it's not really a limitation, I understand why it would feel wonky for some)
Good job! One of the best I've played!
MatthewPopsicle responds:
Awww.. thank you! Its great to hear from one of my inspirations
