Tetris Touhou?!

The third mainline entry in the Touhou franchise and you can tell the creator wasn't really sure what to make with the franchise, but it seems he finally settled on shmups and not breakout or whatever Touhou 1 was supposed to be.
This Touhou game is most likely the most underrated one out of the PC-98 pentalogy, unlike the first two which are really forgettable for the better or worse. In this game, you can select from a dozen or so character to play but obviously, I picked Reimu, the whole game is separated into two screens like a puzzle game you play with a friend or an AI like Tetris or Panic Bomber. Your goal is to destroy as many enemies with a combo as possible on your screen to fill your attack bar to make a mean attack that will go to the enemy's screen and you need to repeat that process till he dies.
It's pretty easy and fun! I hope we get something else like this online or something.

Should you play this game? Definitely, but I heard Touhou 9 was the same thing but better so you should check out that one first I guess.
