Awesome if only for the music
The music from PSO-(and BB) made me smile. Apart from that it was very well done.
Reviews for "Project Inthri 3"
really nice
Very nice game. The boss battles were all very well done, even the mini bosses. I found this game very difficult, even on easy mode, so it was a really good challenge. To those who finished it on Lunatic, well done.
I personally haven't played Project Inthri 1 or 2, so I found the story a little lacking. Very nice backgrounds, although they sometimes obscured the action. What really set this game apart for me was the last few levels. I like the way you set it up as a 'boss level', 'fun level', 'impossible level'. Well done, keep it up.
Meh
-Shoot the core :3
-We know that >:(
Solid programming
I really enjoyed the boss fights, which reminded me somewhat of the Contra series. Couple problems I found though were 1) up-right is the only diagonal that actually worked when using the arrows to control and 2) you really need to inform the player when what looks like a little dialog scene is actually them taking control of a different ship.

And after 70 or so "This reminds me of Starfox" reviews, someone finally catches the Contra homages ;)
Good game
First off, let me say, I loved the <I>huge</I> homage to the Touhou Project games with the theme of that extra stage. I managed to beat it after finishing lunatic mode and it was a very enjoyable challenge.
Anyways, you have some really great boss design, they were each done very well. I enjoyed how the stages tended to have a little "gimmick" to them to make things interesting, like the sub-boss in the asteroid field and an ally occasionally popping in to kick some ass.
Despite that, I have a few suggestions for how to make the next game a little better:
- There needs to be a better contrast between the background scene and the action. Level 4 in particular was confusing because enemy bullets would blend in with the armada in the background and when the sub boss started firing his laser at me off screen, I didn't realize I was getting hurt because his later looked very similar to the ones I had seen earlier in the background.
- The player's hit box seemed bigger than the sprite. In these kinds of games, you should usually err on the side of a smaller hit box. It made the large number of (homing) bullets throughout some of the later stages on Lunatic mode nearly impossible to dodge accurately.
- A pause feature would be VERY welcome. Or even some sort of "press any button to continue" thing between stages and after dying would be nice. After dying several times, I wanted to take a break without losing my progress or score but that wasn't possible and was a bit frustrating.
- An online leaderboard.
Keep up the good work!
