6 itemsAbout the Game
《The Top of The Dream》 is a retro style bullet screen shooting game created by the The Top of The Legend fan game production team.
Game background
The monsters and residents of Fantasia have all dreamed of an unknown place in the sky, and the gods of Fantasia have also noticed the strange changes in their dreams. Hakurei Reimu, troubled by dreams, went alone to the sky to explore the truth
Game mechanics
Borrowing the power of dreams in the dream, the firepower will increase with one's own wakefulness state. Consuming some wakefulness value can release the dream barrier, greatly increasing the firepower value and providing protection against attacks in the barrier. After the barrier is completed, the full screen bullet will be eliminated and dropped objects will be collected.
Card rules
Boss will sing talismans and start releasing powerful barrage during battles. When releasing the token, the boss will hold the shield, and the shield will not be damaged during its existence. Attacks on the shield will reduce its duration.
At the end of the symbol card time, if it has not been hit by barrage attacks/body attacks, it is considered as "symbol card full avoidance", otherwise it is considered as "time end".
Break the token before the end of the token time. If it does not lose health, it is considered a "successful collection". Otherwise, it is considered a "failed collection".
Author's words
This game is generally biased towards STG beginners, with a user-friendly level continuation mechanism, and with sufficient planning, firepower and skill resources are relatively abundant. Although the density and difficulty of the barrage are higher than most N and H, if the barrier mechanism can be fully understood and utilized for bomb evasion and firepower coverage, it is enough to break these epic talismans. Finally, during the challenging bottom of the game or when completing the game, I hope you can enjoy the fun brought by this game!
Additionally, due to the limitations of the game's size, we apologize for not being able to achieve difficulty grading!
