Elegant Impermanence of Sakura

Touhou Kikamu ~Elegant Impermanence of Sakura~ is a fan game with the same classic shoot-em-up gameplay as the original series!

At the dawn of the new year, an unusual event occurs in the shadows of Gensokyo.

The Bamboo Forest of the Lost blossoms overnight, the bell at Myouren Temple is suddenly
rusted over, and the Winter snow shows no sign of melting in the sun.

The shrine maiden of paradise, the youkai of the boundary, the strange magician, flawlessly
beautiful ghost, the sullied immortal, and the history-devouring half-beast...

all of them set out to follow the clues and uncover the truth.

- This is a Touhou-derivative work that pays homage to the story of "Imperishable Night".
12 different characters appear, including original characters. Also includes an extra story.

- This game is heavily based on the original Touhou games, so the method of play should be
familiar to fans. Just as you'd expect, it's a real hell of bullets! But that can get a little old, so we've
included a special coloring system as well.

- Except bosses, enemies are divided into large and small varieties.
In high-speed mode (Human side), only large enemies can be attacked.
In slow mode (Youkai side), all enemies can be attacked, but only bosses have collision.

- In certain zones, defeating a large enemy will change the color of smaller enemies within radius.
Bullets in the area will also disappear. Color change chains will also be tallied with your score.

- Beautiful art, with 6 playable characters, 6 bosses, 12 pose arts, and 10 ending CGs!
32 tracks of Touhou-style original music!
