A downloadable Retro Game for Windows

ANNOUNCEMENT- V1.0.0 DEMO RELEASED

The game's proper build has finally been released! Thank you for waiting warmly for it. If you're streaming, please play that version for the best experience ^^

I call it a demo because I plan on updating this game again in the future with levels that I had initially cut for the sake of time, along with the true final boss (Who would have fit the green sub-theme pretty well, shame about that ><;)

TOUHOU- SHRINE MAIDEN ADVENTURE

Reimu Hakurei,  known as the shrine maiden of paradise, was rudely awoken one day to an infestation of youkai at her shrine! As she got ready to fight off her new uninvited guests, she caught a glimpse of a young red haired witch flying away, while chuckling. Having a hunch that said girl was behind it, she set off on a quest to find her and make her pay for dessacrating the Hakurei shrine!

Touhou Shrine Maiden Adventure is a PC-98 styled platformer inspired by the likes of Super Mario, but with a Touhou-y twist! Play through 4 short (hey, it's a game jam, alright?) levels with 2 deadly boss fights awaiting you!

Unfortunately, I couldn't exactly incorporate the second theme of green into the game, but who knows? Maybe something would happen if you were to type that word onto the title screen after clearing the game... Eh, probably not though.

Really cute game. The music was really nice, especially the second stage's magic forest song ^_^

(1 edit)

i can't get this to work with my controller for some reason and i'm not sure why. i'm using an 8BitDo Pro 2 and i've tried both the XInput and DInput modes, and neither of them work.


edit: ended up playing it with my keyboard. this was really fun!

I really enjoyed this game it looks so beutiful but maintains the aesthetics of a NES game i love it!

the first boss was more challenging than i expected haha
