4	It was modeled after the Franchise/TouhouProject Project and plays similarly, down to the [[NintendoHard ridiculous difficulty.]]

15	----
16	!!This game contains examples of:
17
18	* AllThereInTheManual: There's a story?
19	* AllYourPowersCombined: Three midbosses reappear and combine their attacks together in the Extra Stage.
20	* AnimateInanimateObject: The first boss, the Idiot Box, is a flying square. The third boss is a group of flying ''cubes.''
21	* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Fully in effect and quite intentional. The third stage midbosses' name is "Nategasa Kumanichi."
22	* BonusLevelOfHell: The Extra Stage.
23	* BoringButPractical: The Gear Axis's homing attacks are weak, but they're the only homing missiles.
24	* BulletHell
25	* ContinuingIsPainful: Playing on the highest difficulty on a ship with a high charge penalty on death can affect your immediate scoring potiental by several orders of magnitude.
26	* DifficultButAwesome: The 6D4's shot styles require a little bit of effort to use correctly.
27	* EasierThanEasy: Zero. [[NintendoHard Maybe.]]
28	* HarderThanHard: Lunacy Determined (the name being a pun on the creator's website Lunacy Indeterminate)
29	* HoldTheLine: [[Franchise/TouhouProject Like the series it copies from]], the game features "survival attacks" that you have to wait out.
30	* InterfaceSpoiler: Of course the final boss has less attacks than the rest of the bosses! [[spoiler: [[TrueFinalBoss Oh wait.]]]]
31	* MarathonBoss: Minor case- the final boss can take as much time as the first half of the game.
32	* MirrorBoss: The fourth boss is a fleet of copies of the second player ship, the Solar Hydra. Some of their attacks were designed to mirror the shottypes available to the player.
33	* NintendoHard: The game rewards you with extra lives in almost every level [[note]] At last count, you can have up to 15 lives ''at once.'' That's more than can fit on the screen and they'll actually collapse to fit more.[[/note]]. You will need them.
34	* PinballScoring: Not the worst case, but it ramps up from tens of millions to hundreds of millions suddenly in the last two levels.
35	* RankInflation: The score rank system in the game goes from 1 to 100. Rank 100 requires five hundred million points.
36	* RecurringBoss: Almost every midboss (and some bosses) reappears. One reappears ''twice.''
37	* SequentialBoss: The fifth and the sixth bosses immediately follow their stages' midbosses.
38	* StationaryBoss: Fifth boss the Ancient Guardian doesn't move at all. This is traded with you moving everywhere.
