An extraordinary new entry to the world of Touhou shmup fangames is arriving in 2026! With the sudden announcement of a "popularity contest" occuring in the Human Village, a variety of maidens—from familiar faces like Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame to completely new and original characters never seen before—set off to win the contest by battling it out. But lurking in the shadows behind the curtains of this "popularity royale" lies a mastermind attempting to fix the matches... A Phantasmagoria-styled versus game, sure to draw in allies, spectators, and even fairies!
A Touhou fangame developed by Shijimi Nono, Ido and Raichu, with gameplay similar to the official Touhou games Shoot the Bullet and Double Spoiler. Much like those two, this game also brings back a variety of characters, but here they are from games developed by the Kaisendo circle prior to this game's release: The Last Comer, Mystical Power Plant, Riverbed Soul Saver, and Book of Star Mythology.
Touhou fangame by Kaisendo. The main gameplay mechanic of Mystical Power Plant is based around collecting leaf items to fill a gauge, which causes the player to 'level up' and gain various benefits as the game proceeds. The benefits vary depending on what character duo is chosen.
Touhou Project fangame developed by Len. Gameplay revolves around a combination of factors: a "Skill Tree" similar to that of Mystical Power Plant that increases by collecting leaf items, special attacks that can be used by consuming Skill Tree levels, and a "tension gauge" that increases or decreases the amount of items dropped by enemies.
Touhou Project fangame developed by Maceknight and Raichu that originated as a Touhou styled music album, but was eventually made into a game. Gameplay revolves around collecting star items dropped from enemies, where more can be obtained by attacking enemies at close range. Collecting star items increases the Magnitude gauge, which leads to higher point multipliers. Star items do many other things: they factor in gaining resource pieces, they increase the point item value, and gathering enough in a stage will trigger the stage boss's "Last word" spell card. This game uses the chapter system of Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, and is also divided into two modes: "Legendary Hero Mode" with infinite lives, and the regular "Legacy Mode". Legendary Hero Mode is different from Pointdevice Mode in that it ignores what chapter you're on; instead, you simply respawn where you died, either at that exact spot or at the bottom of the screen (depending on the setting in the Option menu).
The game's mechanics revolve around the usage of the featured Limit gauge in order to turn red items into life meter and bullets into bomb meter by deleting all bullets within the limit range, which grows as your limit level increases.
The gameplay system is based around filling a gauge by gathering star items. When the gauge is full, a border activates, with different effects based on the color of the gauge.
A Touhou fangame created by the group Dream Compass. The game features a "Harvest Mode" system where grazing rewards you with harvest items. These harvest items will put you into Harvest Mode after filling up your Harvest Gauge. In Harvest Mode, all point items and faith items on screen will be auto-collected. You will gain point item value for all harvest items obtained during Harvest Mode, as well as up to three spell pieces for collecting a sufficient amount of harvest items.
Touhou fangame developed by Τeam αlternative Σnding and programmed by Kirbio, Gizmo the Dragon, Aka Kyuketsuki, and Lunarethic. This game features 3 stages (and a 4th unlockable stage) instead of the standard 6. The main gameplay mechanic of Glory of Deep Skies is the Elemental Burst system. If the player collects Elemental Orbs of the same attribute as the one they chose at the beginning of the game, an Elemental Gauge is filled up. Once full, the Elemental Gauge can be emptied for a boost with various duration and effects depending on the attribute chosen, and during this time, all items become life and spell pieces.
Touhou fangame developed by Ido, Yuuyu and Hatsuke. The main gimmick of The Last Comer is based around collecting stars to fill a gauge, which is similar to Ten Desires' Trance gauge.
