Little Marisa's Disaster Journey

Depending on your patience and skill, this is a surprisingly short game. If you enjoy either supporting indies or playing kusoges, go for it. Otherwise, I cannot recommend this. While this is a Touhou fan game, difficulty is not a large part of the game; all the difficulty is provided by the mechanics. Marisa feels so heavy in her jumps and horizontal movement, and some areas are so poorly done, it's not even your fault if you can't make it past. Anything you have to climb doesn't leave you on top of it, you must jump out of whatever you're on or your position will be lower as though your climbing and you can't walk off. Sometimes even if you're at the top, you will be stuck, and must gain momentum to jump out of what your climbing. The birds and paper planes section is the worst; because of the strange climbing and jumping, I was often stuck in the bird and my jumps were always weak to jump off it, while being pushed off.

Little Marisa's Disaster Journey is basically a Touhou-themed joke game. The main portion of it is a trapformer, but not an overly challenging one. The death endings are amusingly silly. Total playtime for me was a little above half an hour, but the game costs about as much as a stick of gum, so that's not something to be offended by. Only thing that annoyed me: 4 3 2 would be a valid solution to the math puzzle, but it's not the one Dark Sky Empire had in mind. Better write down the clue numbers and formulas so that you won't be at a loss. Can I justify calling Little Marisa's Disaster Journey pretty good when it by all means shouldn't be? I think It's very self-aware in its badness. I've noticed this: I could have booted up the new God of War instead, yet I don't regret at all installing and playing this one today. So it must be somewhat good!

Patchouli is my wife and I am canonically married to her. Also this game's a worse I Want to Be the Guy, jumping feels terribly awkward in this, and the small corridors make platforming this.

It was short, sometimes annoying, mostly fun. And really: write down those number you get on Hard route.
