What do you get when you combine the ridiculousness of WarioWare's microgames in the setting of the wild and quirky world of Touhou Project? This game, with plenty of microgames that bring the laughs.


  • Cold Treatment is a simple microgame where you have to be nice to Cirno with one of two selectable options. Whether it be giving her ice cream, letting her watch television, or putting out the fire she's inexplicably burning from with an extinguisher. The bad options deserve special mention: those being a spider, math homework (with the equation 1 + 1 = 9), or gasoline to fan the flames.
  • Get To The Punchline!: The player controls the Speech Bubbles of the individual stories set in the microgame to continue the dialogue. The first two variants feature simple gags of Tewi Tempting Fate and the "you have something on your chest" bit with Utsuho and Rin. The third variant consist of Reimu complaining about the hassle of cleaning the shrine, with Marisa's comment of "Why bother when I'm the only one who comes here?" prompting Reimu to kick the latter out, with her tumbling down the stairs for the last two bubbles.
  • First Date is a Visual Novel Dating Sim recreation with a handful of Touhou characters as your date. You're meant to pick the obviously complementary or reassuring dialogue amidst the insensitive or insulting comments, but their reactions to the bad options (with the exception of Patchouli) are worth seeing at least once, punctuated by the sound of glass breaking.
    • Calling Suika a fatso has her clap back immediately.
      Suika: Well, you're not the skinniest yourself, jerk.
    • Picking "Aaah, a ghost!" for Youmu results in a You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me! reaction, while calling her flowers fake result in some serious snark over the protagonists lack of charisma.
      Youmu: I bet you have lots of luck with the ladies.
    • Yuuka's reaction in particular has her snap her umbrella like a twig while glaring at you with a Dissonant Serenity smile.
      Yuuka: I hope you're not seeing other girls.
      [picking the option "Well..."]
      Yuuka: What do you mean "Well?"
  • Special Delivery: Handing the love letter into the hand reveal the couple as Kaguya and Mokou. While cute, its particularly funny if you know they're supposed to be immortal enemies locked into an eternal stalemate of murdering each other (unless you subscribe to a particular portrayal).
  • Let Me Rephrase That: The microgame features Kyouko's ability to create echos, depicted as her holding a mirror to reflect the incoming dialogue.
    • While your meant to reflect the voices with the mirror she's holding, her face provides enough coverage to be just as effective, resulting in a bruise on her cheek. Nothing is stopping you from exclusively using her face to do so.
    • The moment a simple math equation reflects off of Kyouko, it echos back as Visible Silence. Evidently, math is still a problem subject for her.
  • Satori playing Rock–Paper–Scissors with several possible associates of hers in Rock-Paper-Psychic, with her taking full advantage of her Mind Reading to know what they're gonna play. It's Satori's smug grin upon winning that makes it, though there's still humor in losing the game despite having the mind-reading advantage (which, in more frantic game-modes, might happen eventually).
  • A Healthy Pourtion is a simple "pour until it's this full" type of microgame. In the third variant, not only does it bait the player with a deceptively small cup that suddenly extends in length, the character observing, Rin Kaenbyou, also lengthens upwards akin to the long-cat meme.
  • Down Payment consist of Jo'on Yorigami goading her potential victims with a comically large diamond on a rope into a pit.
  • While Girls' Survival Club is mostly Survival Horror in terms of atmosphere, one of the threats to Renko and Maribel that must be dealt with is a cutout of Kogasa (based on an earlier minigame Um-Boo-la) popping out of the ground.
  • Dead Beats, a Rhythm Game of Youmu slicing pottery that fly at her to the beat of "Hiroari Shoots a Strange Bird ~ Till When?". It's a true gem from beginning to end:
    • On occasion, Youmu punctuates her series of katana slices with an "AAAAAAAAH!"
    • At one point Youmu must slice watermelons instead, with the resulting slices getting eaten whole by Muppet-like Yuyuko's from below.
    • Near the climax of the microgame, Youmu suddenly sports shades that fall from above, with the camera briefly zooming in on beat.
    • The closing image at end of the microgame, which reveals the large piled-up mess of broken pottery that Youmu made, with Yuyuko angrily gesturing towards it.
