- At the end, the total points will be divided by the total possible points, and then multiplied by <contest average> to get your final score.
- Nonspell 1: 13.5/20
- I like the bootleg Dream Sealing Circle she's using, and she's got some Shinki-like movement. A very nostalgic non, pretty nice.
- It's pretty standard otherwise, but a great start.
- 6.5/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 7/10 - Fun/Design
- Unveil Danmaku Art "Disturbing An Old Text": 13/20
- Grid of amulets where she fires a seal that makes some of them red and aimed?
- Works extremely well thematically with the title, a little bit slow (so not as interesting to dodge) but this is pretty nice!
- 7/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 6/10 - Fun/Design
- Nonspell 2: 17/20
- This is VERY good. Aesthetically it's got a nice theme, and I love how much this attack makes you think.
- Even when you figure out the best way to approach it (dodge one flower, focus on amulets, dodge other flower) it keeps you on your toes.
- Great work!! The only quirk I have with it is how tough it is in comparison to everything else so far, haha
- 8/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 9/10 - Fun/Design
- Thought Danmaku Art "Crystallized Knowledge": 18.5/20
- Beautiful pattern aesthetic, simple in concept, fun to dodge. My favorite kind of attack.
- Is it the flashiest in the world? Maybe not, but simplistic beauty is awesome.
- 9/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 9.5/10 - Fun/Design
- Nonspell 3: 17/20
- A new and slightly different take on the previous non with the amulets now needing to be approached from the corners.
- Pay attention, newer scripters: THIS is how you make a previous non concept have a throughline, but make you approach the attack differently.
- Anyway, quite nice. Easier than the previous non, a slight knock for creativity, but is otherwise great.
- 8/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 9/10 - Fun/Design
- Hanakotoba Danmaku Art "Flower Language": 14.5/20
- Flowers coming from both Aisho and the corners from the telegraphed bubbles.
- It's serviceable and somewhat pretty but I can't help but feel like it's a step down from the bangers that were the last three attacks.
- 7.5/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 7/10 - Fun/Design
- Nonspell 4: 15/20
- I like this take on the first non more than the actual first non itself, haha. A bit more fun to dodge, fairly basic, but good.
- Aesthetically I like how the pellets are fired way more in this non.
- 7.5/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 7.5/10 - Fun/Design
- "The Sword Who Shall Not Be Named": 15.5/20
- Nice custom sword graphic haha. Feels very Kaisendo, Mumei anyone?
- Aesthetically it's VERY striking and it's got some great variety but I feel like it's one of the lesser attacks in the dodging category.
- Very neat though.
- 9.5/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 6/10 - Fun/Design
- Ancient Scripts "Millenium Eternia": 17/20
- IN Fantasy Seal on crack.
- Very neat attack base and the stuff that builds on top of it is meaningful. That last phase is pretty gross but learning that I can tap stream it in a pinch helped.
- I hope you can't tap stream the other phases honestly, I feel like it'd be less fun when you've got more room to move. But I can't say I tested it.
- Otherwise, fuckin cool.
- 8.5/10 - Creativity/Aesthetics, 8.5/10 - Fun/Design
- AESTHETIC: 26/30
- Looks: Script looks fantastic, multiple steps above normal DNH with a striking visual style. Custom *everything* and the player portraits are adorable!! 9/10
- Sound: Fairly standard SFX but gets the job done. Neat custom music! The boss music ending at the start of ending dialogue though is quite weird. 7/10
- Polish: This script (and system in particular) oozes polish. From the custom pause menu, widescreen adaptation, the ending replay screen, custom cancel handling... it's great.
- It's the kind of system I'm honestly striving to make right now. Perfect score. 10/10
- SUM OF PATTERNS: 141/180
- AESTHETIC: 26/30
- TOTAL: 167/210 * 25 = 19.88/25
- Dude, this script is rad as hell. I loved playing it, it's one of the stand out scripts in this entire contest imo
- There's a few weird points I neglected to mention - for example, the player speeds are *weird*. I don't really know why.
- But besides a couple weird oddities like that (and a couple patterns lower on the tier list) this was an incredibly solid script and you should be proud of it. Excellent job!
