Novel experience, but wouldn't recommend it unless you're a Touhou completionist. Moreso, I would never suggest starting your dive into touhou with this game. I did that, and it wasn't the best first impression, especially considering this game is of a different genre than the rest of the series. [nor does it contain important lore you might want to know later on, as the pc-98 games as a whole are pretty much fully retconned by now] [also this game doesn't have dialogue to begin with]

But that aside, I did find the game pretty fun as a one-off experience. It's rather clunky, but that's to be expected with a game this old. I quite like the ost, and the gameplay is. Unique. I certainly can't think of any other break out games I've played where the ball can kill you. Makes for a funny time with friends.
