Touhou 偽牌戦 - Interrupted Saunter by Counterfeit Mimicry

This is an entry of the danmaku contest/gamejam "Bullet Hell Artistry #9", where the main theme is making a different shot type that does not necessarily shoot forward.

To fit this theme, I've decided to go with a card system inspired by Hisoutensoku. It works as follows:

You can choose your deck of cards you bring into the game in the "Deck Creation" menu, and cards are divided in three categories in their usage:

- Spellcards are the ones with a green background, and they replace your current magic circle with another one

- Skillcards are the ones with a red background, and they replace your current shot (either focused or unfocused one, depending if you're focusing at the time of consuming the card) with another one. You can only bring two different cards of this type.

- Systemcards are the purple ones, and they provide with passive effects

You can bring up to 20 cards, and up to 4 copies of each cards (so 5 cards with 4 copies each, for example.)

You can grab cards by collecting power items. When you collect enough power items to get one card, it is added to your hand.

You can scroll your hand by pressing "V", and you can consume the first card of your hand by pressing "C".

Cards also have a cost, ranging from 1 (where the card will only consume itself) and up to 3 (where it will consume itself, and put two other cards back to the deck). Extra consumed cards are not inherently used, but rather, they are shuffled back into the deck.

You also do not have a bomb, but rather, you have a HBM-style magic circle, except it is instant and is much weaker, but regenerates pretty fast and gives you invulnerability frames. Do abuse this mechanic! It allows for pretty crazy plays and is meant to assist you in this reasonably hard game!!
