- A clear of the game with the hardest to clear shottype using no bombs of any kind.
Hollow Song of Birds is the latest Touhou fangame in the long running line of fangames created by Ido en co.
As always, the presentation is very nice. The music and graphics are all very good and all the patterns look very pretty.
In terms of stage design I think they took a couple of steps back since Riverbed Soul Saver. Like hardly anything happens in stage 1 to 3 and stage 4 is like the same five enemies over and over. Stage 5 and 6 are alright though. As is usual with Touhou-likes, the bosses are where the game shines. They are good fun.
The overall difficulty of the game is quite high at first, but there is a lot of stuff that's learnable to make it not that bad.
The game has 4 shottypes and 9 subshots, meaning there's a combination of a whopping 36 different shottypes you can use.
This comes in the form of 4 characters and 7 colored gems. If you press up on the gem select screen, you can also access a hidden white and black gem. Even though there are like a million of them, they all seem somewhat balanced?
The black gem is the one used in this run. The polar opposite of the white gem, It offers absolutely no benefits and it's purely there for challenge runs. You're very underpowered and everything takes forever to die. Bomb and Z-Spell increase is also massively decreased, but that doesn't really matter for this run. The game is already quite long, but black makes it like a third longer.
The system of this game revolves around crystals and bombs. Enemies drop white crystals when you kill them, which give you a bomb when you collect a certain amount. The more bombs you have in stock, the more powerful the bomb is.
Bombing the white crystals changes them into colored crystals. Colored crystals charge your Z-Spell, which is kind of like a super bomb. Z-Spells change every crystal on screen into high-value crystals and are the main source of score in this game. You're not going to see that in this run though.
Not sure how I feel about the scoring system, it sounds like a system where you bombspam in order to bomb even more. The Z-Spell system is also somewhat underwhelming. It takes like an entire stage to charge it and then it's over in like 3 seconds.
Bosses have their own Z-Spells too, which function like Last Spells from IN. You face them if you beat a stage with minimum deaths. Boss Z-Spells are way harder than the normal spells but you don't lose a life if you fail them.
There is one unintentional deathbomb in this run, but it doesn't matter since I never went below 3 lives, nor did the bomb damage the boss.

For those who don’t understand w is Japanese slang for lol
Props to the composer and pattern designer because HOLY SHIT were those excellent syncs ups and beautifully unique and awesome patterns to me! Some boss songs differed too much from their corresponding stage theme, but the syncs were there. Also, those frame rate issues...
@@basiliskdoor This is a fan-made Touhou game, which means ZUN had no input or made any contribution. The composer of this game was Wanwan, and the pattern designer was one of Shijimi Nono, Raichu, or ido -- this team's worked together in the past on other fan games, including Book of Star Mythology, Riverbed Soul Saver, Mystical Power Plant, and The Last Comer.
You know,DanFuku really has low optimization in terms of running stuff compared to others.
i swear the boss sprites get bigger each game they release
at least they're easier to hit but the patterns are harder to dodge

I love how often the music syncs up with the gameplay in this.
Romantis Anon the final spell of stage 6 is a big example, it also takes so long to complete that you are almost guaranteed to have the really triumphant part come in
47:34
I never realized the yin-yangs at 27:18 sync to the music if you pacify, that's so cool
the egyptian theme on stage 5 is SO COOL
at this point all of stage five is just the devs showing off , lmao
Stage 5 is simultaneously the most glorious stage I've ever seen in a fanmade Touhou game, and absolutely agonizing to watch. I don't think I'm playing this game myself, no matter how much I love the concept. lol
It's actually not that hard of a game as far as touhou-likes go. I'm normally a Normal player and can just barely manage a 1cc on all Touhou games, but I managed a Lunatic 1cc in this game on my first try (after playing Hard and Hormal). The game absolutely vomits resources at you and the death bomb timer is extremely long so it's easy to play the resource game for 1ccs.
Hell, I had 7 leftover lives at the end of my first try at a Normal 1cc. Considering I complete most 2hu games with 1 or no lives left on Normal, that should put into perspective how generous this game is.
@@mud074 Orange is just broken in Lunatic IMO
I just realized that this is a LIVE run, not recorded from replay. Insane stuff from you as usual.
This game is very enjoyable, but the difficulty spike only starts kick in at stage 5, but it really hurts.
The bullet patterns are gorgeous and clever, the music is awesome, the presentation and graphics is top-notch...I think this is my new fave touhou fangame of all time
13:45 I love how Wifi signal pops up whenever she attacks
blue bird, heart and www bullets, blue smart phone with bird symbol. I'm calling Aosagi Twitter-chan from now on.
She isn't able to talk properly outside of "chirper" which is a bird youkai social media site. She even stops mid-battle (15:10) to look up more patterns for her fight which she then plagiarizes (15:20, stolen from Utsuho)
@@mud074 no wonder why that particular pattern looks familiar. Thanks for the info!
Wow, this game is so beautiful, both music and graphics!
Too bad it is so poorly optimized, backgrounds kill FPS for some reason, and only happens in this game.
Something similar happens in Re:Phantasmagoria of Imagine Breaker, when the enemy "charges", it does not matter if I turn off all the effects, the game slows down horribly when that happens, and the rest of Touhou games that I have played, official or not, works at least, nearly constant 60fps perfectly.
@@Sumire973 The shader is the biggest resource eater. Just turning that off will make most of the game lagfree.
Ookay. I'm liking boss 5. Nice design, cool theme, very interesting spellcard patterns. Especially like the one where she uses the giant hand wielding the spear to stab. Kinda reminds me of Flan's Leviathan
"The black gem is the one used in this run. The polar opposite of the white gem, It offers absolutely no benefits and it's purely there for challenge runs."
Then what does the White gem do?
I'll try to check it asap, but iirc it disables your Z-Spell but empowers your Shot and Bomb.
I love how this game proves that even if you don't lose "shot power" after dying you can still have a hard time if you're not careful.
Wow, Kaguya got up off her ass and is actually joining the fray? Color me impressed.
Amazing footage
the way the music lines up with the final spellcard of the final boss is 10/10
I love the fact that the character portraits aren't completely cursed.
Did anyone notice every boss theme has a little twist that looks like the extra stage theme? I also heard horou's theme in siran theme on the guitar part
Great run! I didn't even see the deathbomb, I must not have been paying enough attention lol
31:00 ZA HANDO!
37:07 Fun fact: the level actually diverges here, you'll go either right or left based on which side of the screen you're on and get different patterns on each. Though I don't think I've seen a video yet where the right-hand path got chosen, the level flow generally seems to put people on the left side when the fairy uses the laser to force you to one side or the other.
This is a really good fangame, maybe my favorite
I was waiting for you to pick this game Jaimers. Great run as expected.
Edit: welp, i though they fixed that stupid safespot on stage 2. Too bad.
altough its a bullet hell
the attacks patterns are really like a show to my eyes
really pretty game. I'm working on making a touhou inspired game right now and it's a lot of hard work
5:41 Amazes me how the seasoned players always find a safespot like that
44:06 so cool
here are the bosses for ya
Boss 1 Higami Ranran
Boss 2 Shirobakama Chii
Boss 3 Aosagi Hikariko
Boss 4 Tokujyakubou Siran
Boss 5 Mystia Lorelei , Nebet Tefet and General Set
Final Boss Torisumi Horou
"Go comit Daioujou."
>Set bullshits the screen.
Truly she is Seija in every sense.
Okay, that bit at 24:51 is seizure-inducing. Ow.
40:50 Suddenly, Icicle Fall
(at least it would be were it not for the graze shot)
so the way i see it we got ze characters and zw colors (each one with its very own ability) and rainbow has all the abilities and black none am i right
Does someone have problems with the FPS? My FPS in the Game are low, almost 30 or less
My braincell is dead processing this bullet hell screen.
:(
Holy shit does this game need stamina. Fifty fucking minutes
Aww, I'm in love with that final boss! She's so cute and adorable and she looks so squishy, plus the OwO hat is so funny! Might end up commissioning someone to make a custom Fumo of her. :3
And overall I really like the theme of this game, Set is cool af and it's crazy how they connected freaking Twitter to ancient Egyptian mythology and it all worked up really well. Gonna play it later after I finish all the official Touhou games.
Hey does anyone else get framerate drops like crazy? I have tryed alot of settings and have never had an issue with these type of games dropping frames before.. THnaks.
bob steave just get a better computer kek
@@lizzie1562 there is a reddit dedicated to this issue, even the highest end pc drops frames in this game.. Your dumb
Yes. It seems to be an issue with loading assets as it occurs prior to new sprites or backgrounds being loaded. It affects me even with a 8700K and 1080 Ti with the game loaded onto a 960 EVO SSD. I imagine it's worse in a hard drive.
I suspect a solution might be to load the entire game into RAM using software like RAMDISC but I haven't tried it.
@@Primate541 I didn't understand anything (^ ^;)
Jaimers, what's your first impression about stage 6 boss?
I think it's pretty neat. I like how it makes you use every colored subshot during the fight in the non-white and black modes. All the patterns are all pretty varied and fun to dodge. The survival is kinda eh but cheesing it is more safe than doing it normally.
8:52 Hyper Zone 1, anyone?
(please tell me the name of the song that's playing there, i don't play or watch touhou)
Look for "Chii's theme Hollow Song of Birds" and you will find it.
I would name the song, but it is too long and I can't quite remember the mame.
“An invitation to an Eeensy chinsy graveyard”
ZUN better step up his game because his fans are stealing his thunder (and possibly his job if this keeps up)
From what I hear, ZUN is done making touhou games. He has a son now to take care of
@@frederickglass1583 he has a son and a baby daughter, and no, he is not done making touhou games.
Any source on that? It's a shame, his art style has improved greatly, however I think he maybe running out of ideas in terms of character designs as they are becoming more and more bland looking. Take the latest game, Touhou 16 for example, the final boss is also the extra boss, that's some major corner cutting just to design one less character, it also renders the uniqueness in extra boss meaningless
@@VicViperMk2 it's also for the sake of the story so I'm not complaining
Never realized how weak Reimu was in this game... Most of her homing amulets miss and just spin around the screen ^^;
wow its actually touhou
Aosagi is a Twitter freak, I can already tell
千年神器?
48:59 is that the millennium rod?
there is also a Monster reborn on the book (?) of the stage 6 boss :'D
It’s time to dddddduel
How do you unlock Kaguya?
1cc with any difficulty

THIS IS FANMADE?!!!
Marisa fans:Master Spark!!
Me 44:14
**inhales** SUGARI BLADE NO.63!!!
wish these touhou games had upbeat trace music instead of Japanese elevator / grocery store /waiting room fusion.
aren’t some of these spells just recolored touhou originals? like the Twitter chick uses utsuho’s final, and the stage 4 boss uses a sanae spell. I’m like halfway through the vid as I type this so idk if there’s more but geez
@epayne ...*both* characters are doing it? it would be cool for one of them to, like, a gimmicky little trait she has, but both? kinda lame
@@anonymousanonymous8216 you know it was done intentionally idk if i'm right but i think the reason why hikariko copies utsuhos final spell is because apperently they have connection to the bird characters because of the twitter phone and i think shiran with sanae is because religion but with aya and sagume is the same thing as the previous boss
@@vitorhenriquefarias8916 ok but being vaguely related to another character doesnt mean you can duplicate their spells. the only reason satori is able to is because she is literally reading your mind and recreating your memories through danmaku. what is the excuse for these characters? even byakuren's famous shinki spell is at least slightly different from the original
I’m pretty sure Sirans spellcard litterally have plagarism in the name.
nice effort trying to make the game look as if it was done by zun, but it needs more trumpets
Honestly, I’d say the piano got left out here more than anything. The trumpet might be common, but piano is *everywhere* in touhou music, and is a big part of what gives it its distinct sound in terms of instrument choice. You can hear it here and there in this soundtrack, but a lot of songs don’t have it at all, which is pretty much unheard of for Zun.
@@technicolormischief-maker5683 five bucks that only to spite you unconnected marketeers won't have any pianos
Hi
Its not a bombless run, 33:34 you used a Death-Bomb
The frame rate of this game I downloaded is lame as hell like slow af.
Same problem, it's unplayable.
Seriously? 22:15 is an exact copy of touhou 10 stage 5 boss spell, or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
(tl;dr: yes, but this game is a meme)
It's stolen, but it is clearly intentional. Even the name is the same (at least the second part). I don't really understand why they chose to put that spell in the game though, there is probably some joke that I am missing. The only parallel I can see between Sanae and the stage 4 boss is their connection to religion. Other than that, I can only imagine it being a joke about Sanae actually stealing that pattern from Alice. In the Extra Stage of Mystic Sqaure, ZUN had her already use a similar one way before Sanae even existed.
I should point out that this game does not take itself very seriously and is filled with memes. In the dialogue at 15:10, the stage 3 boss says she is going to use the app that all of the bird characters in this game use to communicate (called Chirper, wonder what that could be referencing) to download the spellcard of a fellow bird youkai. Something along the lines of "Even if we're far away from another, even if we don't know each other, we bird youkai are connected through this communication app". Notice how the pattern she shoots immediately afterwards looks very slightly familiar? (In case you do not recognize it, it's the very final spellcard from Subterranean Animism because, well, that game's final boss is a bird, too. Took me three runs to get that joke... I felt so stupid afterwards.)
This game even has Kaguya saying "Tasukete, Eirin" and Sakuya making a Jojoke (ZA WARUDO). From my very limited knowledge of the Japanese language, I can definitely recommend the English translation patch made by some fan(s) if you want to get to enjoy this kind of dialogue, because they definitely knew what they were translating...
On a last note, when it comes to the bosses, this game has very many creative patterns. I don't usually enjoy fangames a lot, but even I had to hand it to them when I played this. So you should definitely be able to forgive them for shamelessly stealing two of the best patterns ZUN ever came up with.
EDIT: (fixed) Japanese language, not Japanese knowledge, lol
She stole it from the net.
TBF if the stage are too challenging the boss would be less fun and stage itself might be too frustrating.
