Analyzing the Formal Elements of Touhou Fuujinroku

Game Category
Touhou Fuujinroku (Touhou 10) is the shooting game that requires high level of stamina and mental strength from player (yes, from player). It's not a FPS, but a 1942 shoot-them-all type shooting game which is popular in certain parts of the world as arcade machine.

Formal Elements:
Players
Touhou Fuujinroku is a single player game. The game is totally player vs. computer-created environment heavy.

Objectives/Rule
The goal and objectives of the game is very simple---reach the end of the game without dying. There are several stages in this game. Players must complete the objective like deplete boss' life bar in order to pass the stage. Other option like "play without shooting any single enemies" is available, too.
The rule is simple. you get hit in the hit box, you lose a life. To gain a life, player must reach enough points.

Procedures:
The game flows linearly. The creator has decided to make the game back to the simpleness. Players won't miss anything if they didn't manage to destroy all enemy(or similar things like that). The only point that differs is only in ending; it will depend on whether you continue the game or not to decide if the player can see the best ending. The continue is now not in limited number as previous series, instead continue the game means restart the stage you died on.

Resources:
Player will start the game will basic weapon, but they can gather resources alone the way. The resources of this game all come the enemy. When enemies are defeated, they drop items like power-up and/or point to assist the character. They are also the resource for the bomb weapon which is very critical in Touhou 10.

Boundaries:
Player's character is restricted in a rectangle size area. They cannot move out of it under the script. However, player must dodge the attack from the enemy in this area; and this is the challenge come from.

Outcome:
Well performance equal to good endings. There isn't only one good ending, therefore player needs to try through all the attack formations in the character selection menu to see all the endings.
