“Black Valley Yamame’s Swing by Swing”

Hello, this is Mi~ya.
Thank you very much for picking up Meandering Potage “Cola Flavor.”

The now-customary Touhou homemade CD “○○ Flavor” series from Meandering Potage.
As usual, mine is a score-inflation-style action game.
That said, unlike my usual “one-shot and done” games,
this is a fairly ordinary action game where you earn time and continue playing.

This time, perhaps because you advance while swinging up, down, left, and right like a pendulum,
I feel it is somewhat more likely to cause motion sickness than other 2D games.
I myself felt sick after continuing to test-play it during development…

Therefore, it would be best to avoid playing for long periods.
If you start feeling sick, stop the game for a while without forcing yourself, and rest your eyes and brain.


I hope you enjoy playing the game, even if only a little.

■Game Content

【Overview】
“Extend a thread toward the ceiling, swing forward like a pendulum, then release the thread and leap forward.”
Basically, you repeat this process.
As you proceed, collect items while avoiding Kisume’s interference.
Your goal is to earn as much score as possible.


【Items】
・Time Extension Item:
Collecting it extends the time limit slightly.
・Score Item:
Collecting it adds to your score.
The score added increases significantly as your combo count rises.

※The combo count increases when, after collecting an item,
you obtain another item within a set period.

【Enemies】
・Kisume:
Being hit decreases your life and also causes you to lose momentum.


【Game Over Conditions】
・Your life reaches 0
・The time limit reaches 0
・You fail to deploy a thread and fall downward


■Controls
【Mouse Input】
Hold down the mouse button:
Yamame extends a thread in that direction
Release the mouse button:
Yamame lets go of the thread
【Keyboard Input (While in Pendulum Mode)】
↑ key:
Shorten the thread
↓ key:
Lengthen the thread
←→ keys:
Adjust the swinging momentum like a swing

Finally,
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who picked up this work,
and to ZUN of Shanghai Alice Illusionary Ensemble, the original creator.
Thank you very much.

Until next time!
