Hello. Can you upload version 1.09 please?
You can now download version 1.09!
whenever i play the first stage and this yellow thing appears, an error, a literal gamemaker studio 2 error tells me it failed to find some asset to load the boss health bar
You need to install the DirectX for the shader handling the boss health bar to work.

Me pergunto se isso se trata de ser uma cópia de Touhou...
what game engine/framework was this made in? just wondering.
GameMaker, you can tell because of the
data.winfileThe game is definitely extremely heavily inspired from Touhou -- same control, more or less same mechanics esp. with the newer games, etc. Some bullet patterns I definitely recognize XD (in particular I saw some that shoot similar bullet patterns with the fairies in stage one of Subterranean Animism... they gave me PTSD)
...though... this game's normal... is Hard in most Touhou games... maybe LoLK's Normal. Definitely way tougher than what I'm used to... either that or maybe I have rusted this past few months -- got game over at stage 4 on my first try.
Definitely very good stuff. Enjoyed it.
I am glad I found this
knock-off touhou??
so my game crashes and says theres a code error every time it gets to the yellow dinosaur thing in the first level, does anyone else experience that
Read the paragraph under Install instructions, you are missing the DirectX.
I really enjoyed this! The true end boss was super-cathartic and cool. You don't see shmups playing with storytelling and structure like that very often, I appreciated it.
Glad you enjoyed the ending! :)
Oh man, this game is just so fucking fantastic. I will admit that I don't care much for the story, but the gameplay is just so polished and fun to play, and it's pretty accessible for a shmup. Still playing it to this day, so thanks for this fab game!
I don't know if you still check this page out, but I remember getting this game on Steam and still can't believe that you've never charged money for this game.
Your game actually inspired me to work on my own bullet hell which I just released an alpha build of: https://biggestboss.itch.io/lumiette
I hope that everything is going well and wanted to thank you again for making this game.
Thank you :) Good luck with your project!
This bullet hell is pretty awesome, nice setup and gameplay. It's a must play for any danmaku fan.
I made a review in spanish about this game: https://retroorama.blogspot.com/2017/11/jigoku-kisetsukan-sense-of-seasons-un.ht...
This game is so good
Generally I don't stick to a itch.io game for too long because there are many, but as a Touhou fan I'll stick to this game for a long time
Definitively worthed to download, especially for a free game
It's when I see that I need directX is when I get so pissed since I put a comment saying the game won't work. I really hate myself right now
Where can I report bugs? I don't use Tumblr/Twitter for privacy reasons but I don't like the idea of putting it here in the comments so anyone can see it even if it's already fixed.
This game is great!, i can't believe that the game is free.
