Reimu Needs Help!? Aunn-chan to the Rescue!
Release Information
Type: Puzzle
Developer: ISY
Publisher: ISY
Release: 31 July 2024
Language: English, Japanese
Size: 84.52 MB (compressed), 141 MB (uncompressed)
Description
What is "Reimu Needs Help!? Aunn-chan to the Rescue!"?
In this game, the komainu of the Hakurei Shrine, Komainu Aunn,
does her best to resolve the shrine maiden Hakurei Reimu's problems,
all through combining two words to create items by stopping slot reels.
So, it's a puzzle & simulation game about solving problems by giving items.

*This game is a Touhou Project fangame.



-Game Overview

In order to solve Reimu's problems, for example, "I'm hungry!",
you'll stop the slot reels to grab an adjective like "red" or "sweet,"
and then stop them again to grab a noun like "fruit" or "cloth."
"Red"+"fruit" might combine to make "apple," for example.
Complete items and bring them to Reimu to make her happy,
and aim to clear each stage by solving enough of her problems.


But of course, Reimu won't be happy if you bring her something unhelpful.
If she's hungry, she'll want food, or at least something related to it.
Try to aim to bring her items that'll solve her problems,
and keep bringing her more and more to help the often-troubled shrine maiden.


You won't know what two words will make until you try combining them.
Items can also change depending on Reimu's current problem,
and you'll sometimes end up making something totally unexpected.
Find combinations of words that sound like they could be useful,
and accurately stop the slots when needed to make something good.


You'll need to quickly solve Reimu's problems before time runs out and she gets fed up.
Some items will make her even happier than others, or even make her angry,
but seeing what happens when you give her something weird is all part of the fun.

Touhou Monster TD
Release Information
Genre: Tower Defense
Developer: MyACG Studio
Publisher: MyACG Studio
Release: 1 Oct 2021
Language: English, Chinese, Japanese
Steam: Touhou Monster TD ~ 幻想乡妖怪塔防 on Steam (steampowered.com) (Support the beveloper!)
DLC: Mokou, Iku, Dr. ⑨
File size: 729 MB (compressed), 3.25 Gb (uncompressed), executable: THMTD.exe
Description:
Easy to learn but hard to master, Touhou Monster TD is the latest Touhou Project Tower Defense Doujin Game, developed by MyACG studio —— the developer of “The Disappearing of the Gensokyo”.
“There is no good TD game for a long time~” —— Houraisan Kaguya
Yes, we always love TD games, but because of the restriction on the platform or technology, many TD games always have same shortcomings ——complex interaction, bad graphics, belonging to another game, etc. It is hard to find a good simple beautiful TD game. For that reason, we decided to make one ourselves —— That is why “Touhou Monster TD” was made.
A Tower Defense game with a Controllable character
The classic tower defense game as a strategy game, in my opinion, is lacking immersion. It is boring that you can only click the button but cannot walk around the map and feel the world. In Touhou Monster TD, you can not only control the character to go anywhere in the TD world, but also jump everywhere, build everywhere, and carry around the combat unit. You can even use skill at the important point to finish extra mission for reward.
Unique Graphic Art Style
Once exploring the artistic style, we found adding simple light effect with 2D object and 3D terrain is interesting. This “Paper Cutting Style” provides game a nice 3D effects, preserves 2D animes style and also presents“Kawaii” feeling. It is fun to watch our cute character carring other cute towers around. (Of cause, it can also save budget!)
Large variety of levels, enemies and towers
Story Level + Extra Level + Challenge Level, meet the needs of all type players.

60+ enemies with different skills and attributes, want to break your defense \:
15+ combat units with different features, will unlock unique skills and effects when level up.
Travel the Gensokyo
Every battle scene is designed carefully by heart, Hakurei Shrine, Magical Forest, The Human Village, Mist Lake, Scarlet Devil Mansion, Waterfall of Nine Heavens, Moriya Shrine, etc.
Enjoy the wonderful environment of the Gensokyo is also a nice experience in the game, isn’t it?
Touhou Project Fan Made Doujin Game
This is a Touhou Project Doujin Game. Original by ZUN, developed by MyACG Studio.
We make this game not for profit but for the indie game community we love.
Considering the gameplay, the story of this game is independent from the original story, and we add some personal understanding of the Touhou Project into it. Therefore, you do not need to fully understand Touhou Universe before you play this game.
We also add some popular memes from Touhou and Indie game community into the game, hope you can enjoy them.
If you like our game and want to know more about Touhou, please support the original game by ZUN. Thanks in advance.

I.9: Intelligent Fool
Release Information
Type: 3D Real-time Puzzle
Developer: illuCalab
Publisher: illuCalab
Release: Comiket 81, Dec 29, 2011
Version: 1.033
Language: Japanese

Character Information
Playable Characters: 1
(Cirno)

For you people who know the game "Intelligent Qube" and liked it. This game is for you.
Description
There are nine stages and completing them all will unlock "Extra" mode. In extra mode, everything is the same EXCEPT your camera will not be a bird's eye 3rd person view. It will be at eye level behind Cirno in 3rd person. This severely increases difficulty and inhibits your ability. The only way to see a top view of the blocks at this point is to speed up blocks.

As you play the game, you'll be rewarded with coins which can be spent on several things.

* 3 Coins: Pause (If you do not have enough coins, the screen will go opaque)
* 30 Coins: Continue
* 15 Coins: Enhanced Mine (Press and Hold Z then X to change your normal Mine into an Enhanced Mine. This will also reduce your I.⑨ by 1.)   Plot Point
In the wet and cold lands of Misty Lake.  There lives a ice fairy named Cirno.  On a whim, she decides to partake in a game where it will determine whether she is a cretin or an ingenious sprite.

How it Works The goal of the game is simple.
* Destroy all of the blocks aside from the black-colored Forbidden Blocks.

* Destroying a green cube will place an Enhanced Mine where the cube was destroyed.  It will then leave a marked green spot in which you can detonate for a 3x3 explosion with it at its center.

* You will be penalized for destroying Forbidden Cubes or allowing other cubes to pass you and fall off the edge of the stage.
        - For each Forbidden Cube you destroy, a row of the stage will crumble.
        - For each set number of other cubes you let pass you, a row of the stage will crumble.

* You will be granted an additional row onto the stage if you manage to clear a wave of cubes flawlessly (no Forbidden Cubes destroyed and all other cubes destroyed).

* Getting crushed by the cubes will cause them to speed towards the end of the stage, only stopping for when you set off a mine, ultimately causing you to lose your Perfect completion bonus as well as possible rows due to failing to capture the remaining cubes.

* Completing the round above the limited turns will not cause a negative affect on the game.  It will only reduce your end IQ score.

* Once you destroy a block, the limit turn will start ticking so this gives you time to plan your moves.

*  The game is over if you fall off the edge of the stage.

Gensoukyou Daisensou - Touhou Shimyureshon Batoru
Release Information
Type: Chess-like Strategy
Developer: INSIDE SYSTEM
Publisher: INSIDE SYSTEM
Release: Comiket 82, 2012
Language: Japanese
Extras
This may not be completely obvious at first (or maybe it is, depends on you), but the artwork for the characters were done by different people. So yeah, that's why, say Satori and Cirno, look QUITE different from say Reimu & Marisa.
Description
Plot Point: Dunno really, besides the fact that it involves clones of some sort. So yeah, sorry. Also, I've never really done the story. Just the offline play.

How it Works: Well, battles are set up like a chess board, with your units on one side, and your opponents on the opposite. You each take turns moving your units and "attacking" your opponents. However, unlike in chess, when you move your piece onto an enemies piece, combat begins! This is where your units stats come into play.

Knowing your units' stats:

Card ( カード): When you are attack during a battle, your character draws a numbered card. They can possibly draw from 1, up to their Card stat.

Pow(パワ): If your attack goes through, it deals some number of damage in your Pow range.

Graze(グレイズ): This is I guess what you would call the defensive stat. When your opponent attacks, and for example let's say they draw a "4", if your Graze is "6" you take NO damage. At all. Attacks in this game are hit-or-miss. Note: Same number means a hit.

Life(ライフ): This is just simply your characters HP. After winning a battle, some HP is restored.

Joker:  You may notice that some units have a (JOKER) in their status menu. This means when attacking their is a, slight chance of drawing the Joker card, which is instant death for your opponent.

+1 Bonus:  This bonus is given to whatever unit started the battle. It temporarily, for the length of the battle, raises your Card stat by 1.

Spell(スペル): You may notice that some characters, after moving, have a choice of some sort. These are "Spellcards", and they can be used, mainly to either heal your allies, or to deal damage to your opponent. If you highlight the spellcard's name, then you'll be shown the range. Under the info box, a description will pop up telling you how much it can heal for/how much damage might happen. So, yeah. You'll see some japanese text in red, with a big "10-30" in it, which means it will deal between 10 and 30 points of damage. Red name= damage. Green name = heal.

* Stuck? TouhouWiki also has a full walkthrough just in case, for those who are ready to admit they can't figure out a puzzle. Description
Plot Point: Utsuho has been spotted away from her post in the nuclear reactor.  This worries everyone's favorite engineer, who takes it upon herself to check up on the bird-brained girl.

How It Works: Is it or is it not about time someone made a game starring Nitori where your solutions lie in expert gadget usage to solve puzzles?  That's exactly what this is, and if you hated the boring feel and isometric perspective of Maristice, exactly what you've been pining for - Nitori starts with 5 Life and some weapon energy (which recharges itself), and finds both expansions for these and a whole lot of Tools that give her an increasing amount of ability - not only do you get a way to stun enemies (the Stinky Ball), but you also get useful tools from a Drill and some Bombs for getting through pesky destructible blocks, to her famous Extending Arm for grappling, to seemingly game-breaking tools like the Wall-Walk Shoes (they do exactly what you think) and the Water Jet (which also does exactly what you think).  Even the boss fights are mostly puzzle-based, solutions lying in forcing bosses to fall into their own traps or otherwise damage themselves (only the world 4 & 5 bosses are actual damage-them-to-death fights). 

Please Note: Though you do get a ton of helpful tools, and there're save points and signs with hints or other info all over the place, remember that although the game has a light atmosphere and starts easy enough to get you accustomed, it actually quickly becomes difficult, none of the tools are optional and multi-room puzzles are commonplace even early on.  The endgame is constructed ingeniously to make you use every tool you own in order to earn the last one and get to the final boss.

World 5 is a Bonus: If you collect 15 UFOs for Nue, she'll unlock World 5, which is a lengthy, self-contained challenge world - upon entering, you lose all your tools and must re-collect them within that world as part of the challenge (although if you choose to leave World 5 and go somewhere else, you'll get your tools back until you return), and will face Kaizo Mario-level challenge as you're forced to push your tool usage ingenuity to the maximum!

Description
Plot Point: It was a day like any other, Alice was in her home, reading, when Marisa came over. Marisa wants Alice's help doing something, so they head off. However, they hadn't gotten very far before a yandere (in-game description) Patchouli had cursed Alice because she wanted to ruin their date! Now Marisa's hat can't be taken off of Alice's head (Alice was wearing Marisa's hat because it was sunny outside)!

How it Works: Marisa & Alice is a puzzle game based off of "Mario & Wario". You use Shanghai to break blocks, hold Alice still, & to turn Alice around to help solve puzzles that will lead a blind Alice to Marisa, while simultaneously picking up gold stars (generally 3 per stage) that are used to unlock the boss stages.

Extra Note: "Lesson Mode" isn't actually a lesson or tutorial or anything like that. It's actually (as I believe) a harder challenge mode.

Help Me Remember, Satori-sama!
Release Information
Type: Puzzle
Developer: ISY
Publisher: ISY
Release: 8 mar 2022
Language: English

AKA: たすけて！おつかれさとり様

Description

"Help Me Remember, Satori-sama!" is a quiz game
where you figure out the answer by repeatedly
asking questions and getting answers to use as hints.

Satori-sama worked herself too hard and ended up bedridden.
During this time while she's unable to properly use her power to read hearts,
Okuu comes seeking help remembering objects or tasks she's forgotten.
Through making use of just a sliver of power of recollection,
Satori-sama does her best to deduce what Okuu has forgotten,
all while elegantly handling surprise visits from Orin and Koishi.

You gather hints as to what Okuu's forgotten by asking her questions.
However, though she doesn't mean any harm by it, she's forgetful.
She'll occasionally give the wrong answer, or just not remember at all.
When that happens, use your power of recollection.
That'll draw the correct information out of her and help lead to the answer.

Orin will sometimes come to the room whether she has business or not,
and Koishi will occasionally appear to play a prank on you.
Handle them elegantly and continue your questioning until you reach the answer!
