Touhou 18 - Unconnected Marketeers demo 1cc Sanae with Youmu's Ability Card (1 bomb use (because of the dratted Takane))

Akira here!

I've just survived Touhou 18 - Unconnected Marketeers demo as my favorite miko, Sanae (w/ Youmu's ability card)! This game is easier than WBaWC (IMO), albeit there are some f***ing hard Spell Cards that is as hard as WBaWC Stage 3.

See how I made through the demo!

WARNING: This game contains references to sensitive topics (especially that of a character who uses a smoking pipe, BGM that refers to smoking, that character being a courtesan, and references to a gambling den). Not suitable for minor viewers.

Stage 1 - The Good-luck Cat

Fairly easy.

Midboss: Yellow bullets that arranged in a spiral and move in the way that it faces. Just fit yourselves through the gaps made by those bullets.

Boss nonspell 1: Same thing but with rainbow-colored bullets.

Boss spell 1: I darn sure that this is quite RNG, so if you see a bullet coming at you, stay away from it as soon as possible.

Boss nonspell 2: Same thing as nonspell 1 but now with two streams that move opposite ways. Try to find a safe spot when the bullets are reaching the bottom.

Boss spell 2: Streams of circular bullets that somehow moves in almost all directions. Same thing: Find a safe spot when these bullets began to come down to the bottom.

Stage 2 - The yamawaro of the Mountains

Also easy, but more challenging than Stage 1 due to Takane's first spell.

Midboss: Circular bullets followed by a spiral of green leaf-shaped bullets. Try to find a safe spot between the leaves, since when I started playing the game, I lost lives at that very spot.

Boss nonspell 1: Same thing as above.

Boss spell 1: Tricky. Leaf bullets that are shot in a spiral and in opposite ways, so must take an eye on those things. I lost lives at that point in this playthrough, and I used a bomb at that point also.

Boss nonspell 2: Same thing as nonspell 1 but minus the circular bullets and the spirals are bigger this time.

Boss spell 2: Constantly moving leaves that will come down at you and then stop for a while until moving down slowly towards the bottom. Please find a safe spot between those leaves.

Boss spell 3: Circular bullets surrounded by spiralling leaf bullets. Just dodge those things and you are good to go.

Stage 3 - The Smoking Courtesan and the Gambling Den (Warning: This Stage is not for minors!)

IMO, as hard as WBaWC Stage 3 due to Sannyo's second and last Spell, due to insane micrododging.

Midboss: Purple bullets that moving towards you in a spiralling (parabolic) motion in stereams. Get through those gaps as quick as you can, but still, be careful.

Boss nonspell 1: Same thing, but with more bullets.

Boss spell 1: Bullets that initially forms a flower-like shape, then coming downwards in loopy streams.

Boss nonspell 2: Same thing as nonspell 1 but with blue bullets, and perhaps more insane than the last one.

Boss spell 2: Rays of lasers followed by multiple blue glowing bullets. Requires insanely hard micrododging.

Boss nonspell 3: Same thing as the last nonspells, but the bullets are now yellow and the bullet count increased.

Boss spell 3: Oh no. I failed this one twice due to the red circular bullets that shoots out red lasers that aimed straight at you and followed by a circle of purple bullets. Also requires insanely hard micrododging.

And that's it for Touhou 18 demo!

See you later!
