Many are predetermined to be indignant by simply its aesthetic relation to HM, instead of its actual game-play.

Which is a shame.
The gameplay seems way different from HM's, from what I can see. It actually seems like a mix of everything from IaMP, SWR/Hisoutensoku, and HM.

Reexamining the released screen-shot, notice the orb-like objects nearing the timer, again notice how their is a colorization difference with both red and blue. Could this represent a character mechanic seeing as how Reimu's color is red and Marisa's color is blue, and how the bar below, possibly the spell gauge, is shorter for Reimu, alike her perceived red orbs atop the screen. And are those toilets at the top?!

Calm down, Scarlet. XD
I think that the stage is Kourindou.

That was suggested on MoTK, but why the banners surrounding the place?

And are those toilets at the top?! I'm going to take a wild guess and say the orbs are gonna be the substitute of the Popularity System. For the spell gauge, I'm gonna quote MotK. And on HM you could use icons for profiles. I guess the toilet is one of those icons

A great guess. Still, the flaming orbs have an anonymous meaning.

... You know, I've just noticed something. Anyone noticed the screenshot seems too... "western"?
I mean, the character names are written western-style, and there's nothing on the GUI that's in japanese. That's strange, IMO.

Impossible Spell Card is the first to not include "Touhou Project" in the name, and this furthers my theory of western or Christian influence on the game.

I'm gonna point everyone to ZUN's statement some time ago: Hopefully everyone gets what I mean here~

International distribution? Do you know what this means for Touhou' popularity and overall sales?

Am I idiotically missing something overtly obvious? I'd appreciate a correction. Ha.

The games are already translated fairly quickly and are easily accessible with sites like the Moriya Shrine. In terms of sales, however, making it easy for the west to purchase the game - i.e. from an English website will definitely improve sales for ZUN, and I imagine that is why he would do this

I believe official releases may inspire inexperienced or people without knowledge to actively play Touhou considering it's officially produced by Team Shanghai Alice, and the negative reception fan games get compared to their originals, but Touhou's fan games strive for greatness. An anime adaptation would relatively raise popularity, alike Fantasy Kaleidoscope supposedly did. With the recent planning for fan-games to appear on Sony consoles, there may be a perceived boost in popularity, but the games features and overall engagement truly is what people see as attractive.

I just looked at the picture, there's an crakc in the middle of it and the arena that Reimu and Marisa are look very different to eac other. (I don't know if it's been posted here or not.) Do you think you could be fighting in different arena using special attacks?

This could be an explanation for what the "Limbo" could be.
