Dirty boy

It's a good game, never did beat it though. Starts getting fairly difficult later.

---

This is a Metroidvania? I may have to put it on my To Play on Game Pass list. I may have to play it without sound though depending on how grating the music is.
---

Damn, some of the backgrounds look heavily inspired by SotN, same with some of the gameplay that I saw. I didn't know about this game until about 2 minutes ago, but I must have it.

I have it on steam already. For anyone wondering, it is a pretty solid game. It's definitely not as in depth of a castle map as most other metroidvanias, most of the journey is pretty straightforward with little reason to ever backtrack. So don't get your hopes up too much with exploration. But if you like castlevania style gameplay and bosses, you'll enjoy it. The boss battles are particularly awesome. Challening, but you can beat them without getting hit if you memorize the pattern. It does a great job of translating the spirit of Touhou into a platformer combat system. Bonus for touhou characters and music if you're into that.

i don't actually know what touhou is

Kinda like SotN with time-stopping. Bosses can be pretty hard though! I never managed to beat the bonus boss...

You have something against peposoft? He seems like a pretty solid composer.

KCF is a notorious Touhou music hater

pepo's got gamedev experience of his own and his prior 2hu game was better anyway

I thought the time stuff was kind of lame, but I beat it and it was a decent game.

it's a series of bullet hell 2d shooter games

but there are a ton of spinoffs and fangames of different genres
---

there are so many fangames that you can reliably expect there to be a touhou knockoff of pretty much any other game series in existence

in fact there's probably several

this game looks cool but I already have several touhou fangames on my Steam & Switch backlogs

Ace Attorney? I bet there is but probably not translated into English.

i have the entire series of that physically, and 2 are translated @paperwarior

there's also another ace attorney doujin fangame series themed around haruhi that i also have, as well as one for maria-sama ga miteru

this one's actually a remake of the first game, so basically like... ace attorney 1 on the ds. appropriately, it was also the first to be translated

so yes, really, i'm not actually exaggerating, there really are that many
