- The game features hilarious and endearing writing, making it a joy to play through.
- The art style is cute, and the character animations, especially of Aunn, are delightful.
- The gameplay is engaging with increasing difficulty, requiring strategic planning in later stages.
- Some players found the endless mode lacking in features, such as not listing all questions in one playthrough.
- Replaying stages can be tedious due to having to go through familiar dialogue again without a skip option.
- The game may be less enjoyable for those unfamiliar with the Touhou series, as much of the humor relies on knowledge of its characters and memes.
