Top down shooter; like Raiden or Galaga. But much harder
The spinoff versions of the games are decimals, as well as 3 and 9 I believe are different as well, as they have a form of multiplayer

heres some fun vids for each touhou game "type"

Main touhou games;2,4-8,10-12 (top down shooter) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI-hhQVxQ8A
Touhou; 3 and 9(Multipayer-esque shooter) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-oJ13vQhOk
Touhou fighters 7.5, 10.5, 12.3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlHSIYlCuUQ
Picture taking? games 9.5, 12.5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-irEFZ3FX4

All touhou games except for the fighters have it so that 1 hit= death, making them extremely hard.
They all are featured in the same universe, and usually make referrences to eachother ingame.
They have a very dedicated fanbase to flesh out the characters even more, making very unique people with different personalities and fighting styles.

Some make songs, others, mangas, sometimes even animes around the characters. The most popular ones are usually the main characters, and the final stage/ bonus(extra) stage bosses that are usually mentioned.

Some examples of fan based videos are:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJh0NDqo-8M mcrolled (ronald mcdonald insanity) a remixed version of the song U.N. Owen was Her? Flandre Scarlets boss theme from touhou 6: Embodiement of the Scarlet devil

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUBbigtfCWs kero(9) destiny another vesion of Native Faith, Suwako Moriya's boss theme from touhou 10: Mountain of Faith

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlZGXbCsQfk a vocalized video with the song NecroFantasia,  Yukari Yakumo's boss theme from touhou 7: perfect cherry blossom (the girl with the parasol in the vid is Yukari)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2H8pL8gTXo a 3-dimensional depiction of a touhou boss fight, specifically, the fight between Reimu Hakurei and Regulator of Flames in Former Hell of the Blazing Fires; Utsuho Reiuji with her theme Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom-Nuclear Fusion from stage 6 of touhou 11: Subterranean Animism

*cracks knuckles* any other questions?
The thrill in playing a game does not come from our chances of winning. It is the weight and pressure of losing that fuels our fascination. It is why people challenge, why they gamble and why they compete. The adrenaline that comes from defying defeat is what motivates us.

Think, Deccers....

Top-Down = View point is above, like Pokemon
Shooter, = you know what shooting is?

Danmaku = Bullet Curtain/Hell

Touhou= Top-Down Danmaku Shooter
By loving so many, I have touched their lives and helped them rebirth as well. To be strong is to instill strength in another.

Too Easy?
Too Hard? >o>

Or just tormenting?

and Silver... I know.... Touhou 1 was LIKE Breakout, but with major danmaku differences,

Ball doesn`t disappear
ball Hurts if you let it hit you (DUH! >.<)
Some levels have bosses that shoot you.
It had fairly good music...
Main Character: Reimu Hakurei


Need I continue?

Too many videos!!!! >_<
No one can go back and change a bad beginning; but anyone can start now and create a successful ending.
If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it. If it cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?

Currently playing Pokemon XY/ORAS/Shuffle and Clash of Clans and testing out PokemonRevolutionOnline and Dragonmon Hunter....
Also, forum notification emails are not getting in my inbox... again...

It was completely neccesary
