Touhou Spell Bubble is a versus puzzle game which combines Puzzle Bobble-style orb shooting with rhythm elements
When it happened, it was just the same old, same old. I remember Marisa looking proud of herself as she held it, hot off the presses. She was like, "It's a new invention created by the magician trio representing Gensokyo! It's for a portable game console that you operate using Spirit Power! At the time I thought, wow, she must be really bored...and maybe she was. But when I turned it on, a wondrous scene unfolded before my eyes. I remember thinking, wow, that's a lot of bubbles popping around. And then she was like, "Ah-hah! Bubbles!" She seemed to understand what was going on. At the time, I went through the motions, or just watched Marisa play. But I didn't really think much of it other than, "Well, this is weird." However, in time, once this game really took off in Gensokyo, I came to realiaze it's a major breakthrough in gameplay. Even in a peaceful place like this. I sometimes feel like I'm in a feverish delirium, seeing things like storms that aren't really there. Even with a particular omen, you have to strain your eyes hard to see it. Sometimes it's nothing more than a little ripple in the air. Looking back now, it wasn't really signs of a major upheaval... In a way, it might have just been a little calm before the "storm" that Gensokyo hasn't seen before... Or something like that.

This game features eight playable characters, with four starting preset teams of two and unlockable individual character modes. When playing with the character pairs, one character fires when unfocused, while the other switches in and fires when focused, with a reduction in movement speed. The two shot types can be drastically different. The individual characters, with the exception of Remilia and Youmu, do not change shot types while focusing/unfocusing. Imperishable Night features Last Spells. For the enemy, a Last Spell is a bonus Spell Card which the player can challenge without the option to use bombs and without the risk of losing lives. On the player side, Last Spells are secondary "bomb" Spell Cards, which last longer and do much more damage than normal bombs at the expense of two bomb stocks. Player Last Spells can only be used immediately after being hit, with a grace period of less than 1 second. Additionally, there is a "Time Orb" system which affects the story/score, as well as a gauge which tracks how human/youkai (normal/focused) you are and determines how you can collect more time orbs.
