Scoring Rate
The bare score is not directly added to your score in Touhou Danmakufu. Scoring rate, which is shown at left-bottom of the game field, is multiplied to the gained score. Scoring rate fluctuates based on the following conditions:
- Shot increases the scoring rate by bits.
- Getting a spell card adds 2 to the scoring rate and the upper bound.
- Losing a life decrease 25% of the scoring rate.
The scoring rate will increase up to the upper bound as cherry point of Perfect Cherry Blossom.
