Highly Responsive to Prayers (東方靈異伝, pronounced (?), meaning (?)) is the first Touhou game, released in 1996/1997 for the PC-98. The game it shares the most basic similarities with is Arkanoid, but it is mostly its own unique game.

Gameplay

The only playable character is Reimu Hakurei, who frantically tries to get a bouncing Yin-Yang ball to hit various on-screen targets, "cards" and "bosses" alike. Reimu can knock and manuever the ball around by wacking it with her gohei, slide tackling it, and firing shots at it. Enemies will be trying to hinder your progress by firing at you, but you can cancel out their shots with your own shots, or even deflect them by swinging your gohei. Only the Yin-Yang ball can damage the enemies, so simply firing your shots at enemies will have no effect. As a last resort, Reimu can use a "bomb", once per life, to hit all cards on the screen. There is no guarantee that any given card will be "hit". Bombs will often fail to damage a boss.

The game consists of several fixed-layout levels which increase in difficulty, with a boss fight occurring every fifth level. To complete a level, the player should disable all cards or hit the boss of that level a certain number of times. There are two selectable paths the game: the Jigoku (Hell) path and the Makai (Demon World) path. Reimu will lose one of her lives whenever she is hit by an enemy's bullet/laser/magic or gets hit by her own ball (no pun intended).

This game features no dialogue and a less-cute version of Reimu.
