Subterranean Animism (東方地霊殿
Touhou Chireiden) is the 11th Touhou game, and its somewhat altered gameplay brings the series arguably closer to the modern arcade shmup experience. By the plot, one of the main protagonists (Reimu and Marisa, as previously) goes deep underground to solve some problem, and has one of their fellow youkai assisting them from above ground. The youkai assistant chosen depends on the character subtype (A/B/C) and affects the character in various different ways beside changing her shot characteristics. As such, the subtypes vary greatly both in scoring and survival capabilities, so keep that in mind. The game is very dynamic and about equally brutal at high difficulty levels, but any risk is rewarded with potentially better scores.

Notes:1. I am including world records for the sake of comparison. They will not be an active part of the local scoreboard, although I will update them as well as the local scores. The latter will be trimmed to 20 entries per mode, not counting the WR.
2. I require a replay for the new #1 scores just because it's very easy to save replays (laughably easy compared to setting a new record in the first place). I will not require replays for other scores, but it's good if you post them. Don't post proofpics, as they clutter the thread needlessly yet provide no advantages over a replay file.

Reimu-A is assisted by Yukari, she wraps her shot and herself around walls;
Reimu-B is assisted by Suika, she autocollects items without supergrazing;
Reimu-C is assisted by Aya, she moves at a very high speed;
Marisa-A is assisted by Alice, she has an inflated power gauge (0—8.0);
Marisa-B is assisted by Patchouli, she can change formation of her options (Battle Garegga-style);
Marisa-C is assisted by Nitori, her bomb is a semi-passive protection barrier (similar to Supernatural Border in PCB).
Here's a short summary on each character's pros and cons in regards to scoring.
4. Each board can hold up to 20 entries per difficulty mode. When I gather more than 5 score submissions for one of the main character types (Reimu or Marisa), I split a board in two to allow a broader competition scope. Split boards hold up to 10 entries per main character type.
5. The game isn't freeware. Meaning you'll have either to buy it, lend, or leech off the internet.
Paletweb offers preorder starting from August 22nd. As for leeching, search google for doujinstyle or go ask your favorite torrent trackers. (And be prosecutedt to the full extent of the jam.)
