I'm sure many of you have already heard me practically worshiping this game, so I thought: Why not go all the way and make a thread on it?
[東方幕華祭 ～ Fantastic Danmaku Festival] is a Chinese Touhou Project fangame made by StarX. This game is based on [東方紅魔郷 ～ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil] but features a few different bosses, 4 playables characters, more bullets in your face and GOOD ARTWORK.
(The playable characters are Reimu, Marisa, Sanae and Patchouli)

It looks like this and in case you can't tell already. It looks really really pretty.
From this snip you should also have been able to understand the mechanics but I'll explain anyway. The bombs in this game are seperate from your power. 5 bombs pieces make up a bomb and five life pieces make up a life. When you clear a non-spell or spell without dying (although you can bomb it and still get the fragment, no score bonus though) a life fragment drops (like SA). Bomb fragments can be obtained by killing things. The game smiles and shakes your hand as you go on a killing spree.The meter at the bottom left increase as you kill stuff and decreases when you don't kill stuff. When the meter is full, you auto-collect and receive a bomb fragment.
Big fairies can also drop life/bomb pieces.
At the end of the stage you get a higher multiplier score bonus the less you die and bomb.

and the reason you should all play this is because
omg maid fairies.
The soundtrack AWESOME (spoiler alert: Of course it would be more awesome if you took my word for it so you can experience the effect of the soundtrack 100%):
Note this game is very very difficult. In the windows Touhou games I am a normal progressing to hard player. I have also cleared a few Extra stages such as Ran Yakumo's and Fujiwara no Mokou's. On the extra stage of this game, I struggle very hard to even reach the boss. Also, I cannot 1cc normal in this game.

Please replace the original 4.xna and 5.xna.
Requirements:
There is a file starting with "xna" in the redist folder, install it. It worked for me once I installed this. Although this was also supposed to be required:
How to play:
Same as mainline Touhou games. If you haven't played Touhou yet....WHO ARE YOU?! O.O
Playable characters:
Hakurei Reimu
Shoot: Homing needle
Bomb: Fantasy seal
(I have noticed that the homing attacks one thing at a time, as opposed to the multi-homing of homing amulet.)
Kirisame Marisa
Shoot: Illusion Lazer
Bomb: Master Spark
(When focused all the lazers converse into the size of about two lazers, so your spread is nonexistant)
Kochiya Sanae
Shoot: Omikuji Barrage
Bomb: Meteoric Onbashira (unfocused), Suwako shield (focused)
(You know omikujis are these fortune telling papers, right? Well, these actually explode. From my experience the unfocused bomb can be a little unreliable since it fires huge onbashiras across the whole stage, which can miss the boss. The unfocused bomb makes a soku Suwako bubble around Sanae and it blocks a certain number of danmaku before it pops. The bubble is huge so dodging bullets is practically impossible so it usually lasts the same amount of time.)
Patchouli Knowledge
Shoot: Impact Magic (unfocused), Summer Red (focused)
Bomb: Royal flare
(This one is very gimmicky. Basically as long as you shoot, Patchy will chant a spell. While you're chanting runes will appear around Patchy. While you're chanting your shot is only going to be the basic 0 power version. When you finish chanting as indicated by a full circle of runes around Patchy, you release the shot button and one of two different danmku will shoot out. When unfocused, the chant danmaku will be a vertical lazer, which deals very high damage. When focused, a spread of bullets will fly out. From my experience, the spread bullets are enough to one shot almost every mook.)
Extra mode:
Unlocked when you 1cc ANY difficulty

A: Install the xna as per the instructions.
Q: The game kept inputting directionals, namely up and/or left with no input on my end.
A: Your controller is most likely broken.
Q: Um...
holy faq
A: Apparently someone fixed it with localeswitch to force change the locale of the game to Simplified Chinese. Apparently setting the locale in windows to Simplified Chinese works too.
Q: My framerate sucks.
A: Try patching it. If it still doesn't work, I have no clue.
