Gameplay overview
The game borrows the Power system from Mountain of Faith and Subterranean Animism, and the Power system in this game is used to sacrifice some power to trigger the Aspect Shift, which can cancel bullets.
Aspect Shift
The Aspect Shift (A.S.) has the ability to cancel bullets, and as well can award bonuses depending on how long it lasts. It´s duration is increased via grazing and item collecting. If the player is hit with the A.S. active, no bonuses will be awarded.
Point of Collection
Just like the official Touhou games, all point and power items will be autocollected above the Point of Collection, which is a line high up on the screen.
Scoring
Scoring is based on grazing to increase point item value, getting bonuses from Aspect Shifts and trying to get spellcard bonuses.
Difficulty Modes
The game has 2 game modes:
- Standard: The usual experience.
- Lucid: Special game mode where shot is boosted at all times. Unlocked by beating Extra once.
The game has 5 difficulty modes. The higher difficulties are, of course, harder, and also have higher scoring potential. The difficulty modes are:
- Easy

The game also has an Extra stage, and also offers Easy Extra aside from it´s original difficulty, as well an unlockable Elite Extra. Extra must be unlocked by getting a 1cc on any difficulty. Beating Extra once will unlock Lucid.
