01 / THE GUIDE
Story premise
A small group of Moon Rabbits crash‑lands in Gensokyo, leaving them to fend for themselves. Reisen is reluctantly tasked with rescuing each rabbit and teaching the Lunarians a lesson. The premise sets up a series of boss battles that serve as narrative checkpoints, each representing a rescued rabbit or a lunarian obstacle.
- Observe how each boss’s dialogue hints at their backstory.
- Compare the rabbit rescue moments to the boss introductions for narrative flow.

Boss mechanics
Fourteen unique bosses each feature a specific gimmick, demanding a distinct strategy beyond simple bullet dodging. Success requires learning each mechanic and adapting movement accordingly. The variety ensures that players cannot rely on a single playstyle; instead, they must respect each boss’s individual patterns to survive.
- Take note of recurring bullet patterns across different bosses.
- Practice timing your attacks to exploit each boss’s weakness window.

03 / THE GUIDE
Upgrade system
Power‑Up items collected from stages and bosses can be invested in upgrades that affect Reisen’s stats, such as max health or bullet‑clearing abilities. The system is optional, allowing players to test their skill without enhancements. Upgrades are applied globally, influencing all subsequent encounters, which can shift the difficulty curve depending on the player’s choices.
- Balance health upgrades with offensive abilities for a well‑rounded build.
- Experiment with ignoring upgrades to gauge the base difficulty.

Difficulty settings
Three difficulty levels adjust bullet density and overall challenge, ranging from Easy to Lunatic. Easy offers a traditional platformer feel with fewer bullets, while Lunatic demands high skill and patience. Lunatic becomes available only after beating the game once, and changing difficulty resets the current playthrough.
- Start on Easy to learn boss patterns before moving to higher tiers.
- Remember that switching difficulty erases progress, so plan runs accordingly.
05 / THE GUIDE
Survival mode
Survival is a boss‑rush mode where players select perks between fights, with difficulty increasing progressively. A long win streak may unlock additional content, encouraging sustained performance. The mode provides a condensed challenge that tests mastery of all previously encountered mechanics in rapid succession.
- Choose perks that complement your current upgrade setup.
- Monitor how quickly difficulty ramps to adjust your pacing.
