Description of all the cards' effects in order of the selection screen:

Yin-yang orb: Stands behind the character and fires homing shots on closest enemy

Half of a half ghost: Stands next to the character and fires in a straight line. Position moves according to the player's movement (exactly like Youmu's secondary shots in TD or WBaWC)

Shanghai Doll: Floats up to the nearest enemy and shoots continuously

Ice Fairy: Creates an icicle on top of the character that fires small shots randomly in an outward 180° arc (similar to the Summer subweapon in HSiFS)

Teachings of Greed: Greatly enlarges the item collection area around the character

Offerings to the Mountain God: Greatly lowers the item collection line

Elixir of Death Avoidance: Spellcards cost 2 instead of 1 (only 1 if only one is left) but they do not count as a miss in-game.

Paw of Fortune Rabbit: Lengthens the effect of a spellcard and prevents money loss upon death.

Rule of Survival of the Fittest: Improves the firepower of the character's shot

Magic Scripture: Greatly improves the power of the spellcards and decreases the cooldown timer of the Use cards

Koishi's Hat: Ghosts enemies' hitbox (you no longer take damage upon colling with an enemy) and diminishes the loss of firepower upon death.

Maneki Neko of the Clever Salesman: Improves the range of items you can choose from after defeating a boss

Yamawaro's Shopping Skill: Slightly diminishes the price of the cards.

Dragon Kiseru (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiseru): Gives you a life fragment upon clearing a spellcard.

Boundaries of the Screen: Allows you to teleport from one side of the screen to the other, like Reimu A's passive in SA.

Throwing Mallet: Strikes a round area in front of the character to clear enemy shots. Shots cleared turn into collectable money.

Keystone/Spirit Stone of Patience: Activate to create a lasting stone above the character that clears any incoming shot.

Lunatic Moon: Activate to launch a fake moon that clears shots and kills enemy. Great defensive and offensive power but long cooldown.

better than whole 16 but not as good as 17 demo. I hear ZUN struggling on releasing melancholic note after some build. The percussion need to be simplified a little bit, right now it's sound overproduced. ZUNpet are fine, too predictable at some part. I like the bass, nothing much to complain about. Title theme makes me sad because how uninspiring it is.
Overall 7/10

I liked the cat's and mountain whore's themes. Stage 3 theme sounds good too but is a little unusual for a touhou game. Stage 1 is nice and catchy, reminds me of UFO stage 1. The second stage and boss themes are forgettable but this has been so since Kogasa, I guess.

Cards have mysteriously appeared in Gensokyo. They contain the power of familiar faces within Gensokyo, and using them/selling them has gotten popular. That's weird. It's an Incident. Reimu and Sanae go out.

Patchouli wonders how these cards have power even though they don't seem to be sapping power (like there's supposedly a Remilia card with her power, but Remilia herself is unaffected). She sends Sakuya to research.

Marisa heard about the cards and wants to buy buy buy sell sell sell.

feels week and strange to aim properly, like it's a weird mix of her shots from pcb: half-homing, half-directional aim. i'd prefer if it was just one of those things, they don't work well together imo

[Anonymous No.]

Reimu: Fucking weak, I cleared on normal but I had to fucking work for it. Otherwise it's your usual Reimu. 6/10
Marisa: Press X to win, couple with Byakuren starter ability and you can bomb your way through the entire thing. Shot feels WAY too strong. ZE/10
Sakuya: Haven't been able to clear with her yet. The focused speed is too fast for my shitty chiclet keyboard, and I keep dying to Sannyo. I can get used to the control of the knives but it feels too awkward atm. Wish the knife controls were flipped horizontally, so moving right shot the knives to the left. 5/10
Sanae: Easily the most powerful of them all. Homing while focused means you can sit at the bottom and just collect items inbetween enemy waves. Easily cleared with full lives, dying only once to Sannyo because of the aforementioned chiclet keyboard. 8/10

Best ability cards are the pickup range increase, Byakuren card and the rock that clears bullets in front of you (which is basically the same functionality as the Otter spirit from WBaWC. Still have no idea what the Yukari card's supposed to do.
The gameplay kinda feels unrefined IMO, and the unbalanced characters only add to it. ZUN needs to improve this before 1.0.

Fuck no, it sucks even compared to TD. I'd rather have zunpets back than this trash repetitive synth riffs.

I think its because the weird incident themes that ZUN doesn't really have a clear vision of the music. For example LoLK is the moon incident and the music fucking bangs and there's actual hype going on. WBaWC is about animal spirits and fuckin hell mafias. I find that everyone's theme outside of Keiki to be decent

PIV is equal to Funds*500 on Easy and Funds*1000 on Lunatic, haven't tested the other two difficulties much.

If you are below 10 funds, you'll always gain 10000, while the PIV cap varies between difficulties:
200000, 500000, 700000 and 1000000 for each difficulty.
For reference, at 1000 Funds on Lunatic, you'll cap out your PIV.

Neat. Is it similar to wbawc, where the true score is kept internally, but not displayed?

[Anonymous No.]

>>33862752
It actually disables/changes a multiplier for point value based on funds, so that the numbers don't cap too early
There's actually a way to extend the maximum score counter up to 20bn or so, but the game will crash if the score reaches its' 32 bit limit (the last 0 digit isn't accounted for)

Maybe I don't understand:
you're removing the point item value (PIV) scaling with funds in order to make it harder to reach the counterstop?
Maybe you could fill in the blanks in this post

and tell us what the PIV scaling is on Normal and Hard?

[Anonymous No.]

>>33862847
Pretty much yes. The scaling by default is way too broken and tipped in favor of the mallet too much.
And just tested, for Normal it's the same as Easy and Hard is same as Lunatic.

All hail the Timmy Triad! What cards have you been running? I really like starting off with Saki+Alice and rushing for Byakuren or Reimu. I learned how Sakuya's shot work and I think she's better than Reimu if you learn how to narrow and widen her shots properly.

Guys! I figured out why Sakuya is the way she is
Her bomb is the only one of the four that doesn't delete the bullets around her immediately but still gives her invincibility. You can bomb, run up to the boss during a super dense and unsafe pattern, and whack 'em with the mallet for a ton of gold, letting you buy more shit and increasing your PIV.
It's another DDC Sakuya-B situation where the character is shit but will probably be really good for scoring

I did this a lot during my Sakuya run. It's definitely a nice synergy, but I feel that at least in the demo, it's not so significant since everyone can safely run up and whack the boss during the start of an attack, or (with some skill) between waves of an attack.
It's also not very useful for survival in the demo, since money is so easy to get and the cards aren't expensive enough.
Time will indeed tell.

The only full body portrait she has in the files is based on the damaged portrait for some reason, and even her boss sprites were made using the damaged one as a base. It's one of the strangest errors ZUN's ever made.
