My submission for bullet hell artistry #12: Unified Universes

I... couldn't think of a cool name, sorry

Controls:
- [<] [^] [v] [>] to move/select
- [shift] to focus
- [z] to shoot
- [x] (press) to parry, [x] (hold->release) to UBcounter
- [c] with ≥ 3 Qi charges to bomb (costs 3 charges)
- [q] to pause, then [v]/[^]/[z] to either continue or return to menu

I was originally going to add a 'promised' difficulty (those who are familiar with Nine Sols may know and fear what that means), but:
A - it would require obtaining permission from another party who I don't know how to contact for use of a song.
and B - It genuinely might be impossible for me to clear if I implemented it.



SFX from Nine Sols and Touhou Project are used.

Nine Sols is a game by the studio RedCandleGames.
