Touhou 东方祈华梦 ～ Elegant Impermanence of Sakura - Perfect Extra Stage (No-Miss, No-Bomb, Reimu&Yukari)

Turn on captions for some extra comments.

Time for the Extra stage.

Quite an enjoyable Extra stage. The patterns are all very varied, unique and well balanced. Good music too. Though I feel like the stage portion is a lot less inspired than the stages in the main game.

The midboss is pretty unusual in the sense that all her attacks are Last Spells and also all timeout spells.
You don't lose anything for failing them but you do get a life or bomb reward for capturing them.
Duo to this nature they are also a bit harder than your standard patterns.
The boss itself also has two timeout spells so this stage has five of them, which might be a record?

Main gimmick of this boss is that she uses a lot of attacks that induce intentional slowdown. Which is pretty rare to see in Touhou.

EIoS is a Chinese fangame that's been in development for quite some time. It had a really rough development cycle apparently and it's a miracle it even came out in the first place.
They changed the system and all the stages like three times or something.

Game looks gorgeous and the stage design is also really good and interesting. Easily one of the best Touhou fangames I've played and probably the best one on Steam now.
The stages are very dynamic because of the system, you're constantly doing something to get chains. The chains are very creative too, and every stage has totally unique ones.
The boss patterns are pretty fun too.

Basically there are two types of enemies, popcorn and big enemies with circles around them.
Your unfocused shot can't hit any of the popcorn but your focused shot can.
Enemies have three types of colors, red, green and blue.
Killing big enemies while popcorn are in their circle will dye them into that color, kill them and then give you items of the same color.
Exception being white popcorn, they need to be dyed twice before they die.
Red items are for lives, green items are for bombs and blue items are for score.
Killing enemies through dyeing increases the dye chain count, which is the Last Spell unlock condition.
On Lunatic popcorn will shoot extremely deadly revenge bullets if you try to kill them with just your focused shot.
