Touhou Rei'iden: The Highly Responsive to Prayers

The game introduces shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei, who desperately tries to make a bouncing yin-yang orb hit various targets on the screen, including "cards" and "bosses." Reimu can hit the yin-yang orb with her gohei, slide tackle it, and shoot at it to steer it. Enemies will try to stop you by shooting at you, but you can deflect their shots with your own or even distract them with your gohei. Only the yin-yang orb can damage enemies, so simply shooting at them is useless. As a last resort, Reimu can use a "bomb" once per life to hit all cards on the screen. There is no guarantee that a specific card will be hit, and often you cannot damage a boss with it. The game consists of several stages with increasing difficulty, with a boss battle taking place every five stages. To complete a stage, you must remove all cards or defeat the boss. Reimu loses a life when she is hit by an enemy projectile or the Yin-Yang Orb. There are two selectable paths in the game: the Hell Path and the Makai Path. Each path offers unique stages, bosses, and endings.
