Phantasmagoria of Flower View
2005 video game

Touhou Kaeizuka ~ Phantasmagoria of Flower View (東方花映塚 〜 Phantasmagoria of Flower View.; lit. "Oriental Flower Viewing Mound") is a 2005 bullet hell shooter developed by Team Shanghai Alice. It is the ninth official game in the Touhou Project series. Phantasmagoria of Flower View, like the third Touhou Project game Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream, differs from other games in the series in that two players battle each other simultaneously. Each player generates large, intricate swarms of projectiles to try to strike the other. In this regard, the gameplay resembles Twinkle Star Sprites by ADK.
Gameplay
Phantasmagoria of Flower View is a split-screen, vertically scrolling shoot 'em up video game in which two players use attacks to defend themselves from enemies that release bullets in their direction. Players can also, under certain conditions, release spell cards onto the opponent's screen. Like most Touhou Project games, in Flower View, the player has a health bar, allowing them to survive multiple hits, and each stage ends when one player depletes their opponent's health.
The game features a Story Mode, wherein the player fights a total of nine increasingly difficult opponents.
