Sorry for turning this thread even more into a tech support thread but the game looks cool and I would like to play it.

So any idea what is going on here?  :V
I don't know how I unlocked Extra either.

...I've never had that happen to me!
Also I think Extra might just already be unlocked. Either that or you just need to clear the game, not necessarily 1cc it.

Sanae is kind of a pain to use. I 5cced the game with her a couple days ago, then tried again with Reimu today and 1cced it on the first shot without restarts.
I'm not sure what to think about this game!

Well, you must have missed with many bombs.
Unfocused bomb of Sanae only costs 3/5 bombs.

You would be right about that. I think it was partially because while I think there is a deathbomb timer, it's painfully short, so I died to stuff I would normally be able to deathbomb... if I was dealing with the typical deathbomb timer. Either that or my reflexes are crap. :V
Meanwhile with Reimu I kinda managed to not have a megaton of "empty lives" (AKA lives where I fail to use all my bombs), so I was able to get through more.

Well I can't say I've ever seen that happen before but I did notice one thing. My Patchouli has extra unlocked and she never 1cc'ed. Everyone else for me had to 1cc.

Well, I solved my problem by using LocaleSwitch to force-change the locale of the game to Simplified Chinese (zh-cn). Note that it's entirely in Chinese, but it should be simple enough to figure out.

I assume setting the locale in Windows to Simplified Chinese does the trick as well.

What is the difference between LocaleSwitch and Microsoft Applocale? I tried to use Applocale but I always get that exception in the first boss.

I have Japanese locale and it plays perfectly fine.

Patchouli is also pretty easy to use if you can micromanage the charged shot.

Maybe it's my fault.
My player data is zipped too.
I will upload an empty one later.
Ending will be played only when you first clear the game.

Well not that I could read it but that's still pretty weird. Generally one should see an ending every time you beat a game.

They're about to make ending played everytime you clear the game...

Maybe a button to play ending?

What is the difference between LocaleSwitch and Microsoft Applocale? I tried to use Applocale but I always get that exception in the first boss.
LocaleSwitch, from my experiences with it, doesn't use AppLocale as a base, but rather uses its own executable (LSC.exe) to force-switch the locale. It also seems to handle locale switching better than AppLocale (e.g. AppLocale would still display garbage text instead of Japanese in more recent versions of Marine Benefit, whereas LocaleSwitch actually does display the text properly).

But....let's not stray too off-topic.

Anyway, it seems that whenever I use my gamepad, the game thinks Left is being pressed, even though I don't even move the joystick to the left. Don't have that issue with any other game, so it seems the game's handling of joystick inputs is too sensitive.

I'm really enjoying the extra stage, I managed to get to the first survival card so far. While the stage portion and nonspells aren't too hard, I find most spellcards completely insane :o

I found the hard mode 1cc pretty epic too.

I downloaded the LocateSwitch and now everything is fine, these bugs disappeared:

  • Strange visual effects that fill the screen
  • Some enemies and bullets moving like that the game is running with 640fps
  • Game crashing after exception

BTW it seems that you do some graze milking when you use a bomb. With 2 bombs I got 1500 of graze points with Meiling.

Eh that's right, managed to get 13K graze from Meiling's extra nonspell.

I think it's a pity that score is mostly made from speedkilling bosses. You get nothing from graze, which is ok, since MoF doesn't have a graze counter, but even the point item value is ridiculously low :ohdear:

I thought point items were base 10k with +10 for every graze.

Welp and with that day one lunatic 1cc as always.  :V
Although I don't think I really deserve it as Patchouli seems to be kind of overpowered.

Anyway this is a pretty cool game and lunatic is kind of ridiculously hard lol.
If I were to make a suggestion if would be that the addictive blend and shininess makes it sometimes hard to see the bullets. Remilia's opener is a very good example of this.

Well here's my best extra stage run. Still not a clear.

She's evil. She's very evil. On the plus side you can still hurt her during bombs (thank god).
I absolutely love how the stage is in sync with the background music, especially those first few fairies. And then the midbosses too.

Now if only the boss didn't kick my ass so bad. Like seriously the coffin spells destroy me. One I can't see the fireballs most of the time due to a screenfull of death and the other I can't track the empty coffin else I risk clipping something else.

And what's up with that spell that throws out volleys of 3x red / purple laser crosses? I cannot wrap my head around that one. Think it's the one before the coffin timeout.

When you go near the middle of the red crosses,it will disappear.

I think I'm gonna try scoring in this game, here's a few notes:

- Clearing boss attacks quickly gives a lot of points, so it might not always be a good idea to make them last for graze
- The bonus for clearing a stage without dying is also high, so dying for bombs doesn't sound too good either
- Bombing right before ending a nonspell doesn't make you fail a spell, so that can be used to milk some graze from a spellcard without losing the spell bonus
- Nix's midboss non is supergrazable on normal and lunatic (probably easy and hard too, didn't check though)

Okay Lunatic 1cc with Marisa.

Way more fun than Patchouli that's for sure. You actually have to dodge things and make up chaining routes.
