A downloadable game for Windows

Submission to the Touhou Game Jam 4

-------------------------------------------------

Story:

Marisa ventured inside a strange building in the forest, a maze-like library where a spirit endless cry for help could be heard. Its identity was stolen and scattered around the place in the form of pages and some pieces absorbed by small fairies.

Before entering the maze, a strange floating book captived Marisa's attention. It was full of love magic, the fairies couldn't resist its charm.

Follow Marisa in this useless, "endless", rage-inducing, wall-sliding adventure to find the spirit's lost identity.


Basically, we chose the "identity" theme but run out of time and weren't able to actually include the "identity reveal" haha

-------------------------------------------------

Objective:

Collect and bring all fairies and pages to the spirit located in a room inside the library.

Getting hit by a fairy drops a page you previously collected.

To collect fairies you have to charm them and let them follow you to the spirit room.

-------------------------------------------------

Controls:

W A S D to move (you can drop down from platforms holding S  -  W to jump)

Mouse to aim

Left mouse click to shoot

The game speed is tied to framerate due to some circumstances (if the game runs at more than 60fps, it will run faster than normal. If less than 60, it will be slower). Sorryyyy!

The graphics and music of the game are quite good, and I think they are better than most games. But the operation feels like searching for a phone in porridge and twisting screws with your toes, which is extremely torturous. Even after being killed, the little fairy will attack me, and the ladder cannot be climbed. I don't understand. I think if it weren't for the author drinking alcohol while making the game, he should have played and watched it himself

Great game,wonderful bgm&art.

but what confused me most was the strange control method(even I had played it for more then 1 hour, I was unfamiliar to this.)

And: hardly could I collect all the pages and fairies, till the end, I was lack of 1 page and 1 fairy. I supposed they were on the left stage( just before the final endding), however, there's no way I could do to jump to the next shelf.

So hard it is Above all, thanks for this fantastic game.

(god damn, the itch didn't allow me to upload screenshot)

Eventually, I made it to finish the game.

But the endding was so short>﹏<

Not being accustomed to this sort of wall jump mechanic (wall jump is stronger than sideways run jump), it took me a few minutes to figure out how to get to the very first page. ;^_^ Yeah, I'm not very cultured.

The atmosphere is downright enchanting, perfectly matching the music.

The physics where difficult for me to handle. So much sliding back down halfway to the bottom from a slightly misplaced jump.
