I'm getting near the place I previously stopped, I'm surprised it only took me like half a week to shake the rust off. I'm mostly comfortable with stage 1 and 2 now, so I'll go iron out 3 and 4 next. The game's a lot more forgiving than I remember. I made so many fuckups and dumb deaths this run and still managed to last until Shou.

It is something you have a love or hate relationship with, maybe even both at the same time. It does make the game very frustrating at moments, but at the same time the game is so dynamic due to it. UFOs force you to make so many on-the-spot decisions, like whether to risk diving through bullets for that one last UFO you need, etc, is it worth triggering a non-red/green UFO just to act a bullet clear for a rough section, etc. No matter how much you memorize or have a general route for the stages, UFOs will bring that certain spice and disruption that makes each run unique. I don't think any other Touhou game has managed to replicate that feeling.
