"danmaku" being Japanese for "crap-ton of bullets on the screen, in beautiful geometric patterns, that you'll eventually need Superman-like reflexes to dodge." (lol)
If you want to know what a Touhou game looks like, there's a Let's Play from RoahmMythril of Imperishable Night on YouTube.
Any, really? I play Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil, but am looking for other good ones.
Any recommendations?
It sounds interesting... what's it like?
As said before, it's a danmaku game that involves dodging bullets (or at least trying to). It's hard as hell, and I haven't beaten the 4th level of this game yet, it gets so difficult.
It's fun, though. You should try it.

You don't dodge things in Touhou, you do damage control.
Or you actually do dodge them, transcend humanity, and become a god.
Seriously though, I've played video games for the past 13 years and I don't think I can track/evade the projectiles in this game.
Now THIS is godly! (Granted, he had to use a few bombs, but even you must admit that the danmaku spreads here put Touhou to shame!
Allow me to repay you in kind.
Red Bull Battlegrounds, November 2013. StarTale's Bomber, one of Korea's top Terrans, squares off against Acer's Scarlett, Canada's finest Zerg player.
This 26-minute StarCraft II match is hailed as the best pro game to have ever been witnessed by anyone, ever.
Enjoy.
It isn't your job to track every projectile, just the ones closest to you. If you notice the beauty of the danmaku spreads, you're doing it wrong.
