About
Touhou Danmaku Maze is a single player action game with a fantasy theme. It was developed by Ice Fall Creative and was released on May 23, 2025. It received overwhelmingly positive reviews from players.
Touhou Danmaku Maze combines bullet hell, puzzle routing, and arcade action in a unique maze gameplay set in the Touhou Project Universe. Players control the ice fairy Cirno, navigating through challenging levels and intense boss battles across multiple difficulty settings. Dynamic music and visual novel-style storytelling enrich this distinctive and charming experience.
- The game offers a unique blend of Pac-Man mechanics and Touhou bullet hell elements, creating an engaging and fun gameplay experience.
- The art style is charming and expressive, with well-designed character sprites and immersive stage transformations that enhance the overall experience.
- The soundtrack is diverse and well-composed, evolving throughout gameplay to match the intensity and mood of each level.
- Currently, the game is quite short with only a few levels available, which may leave players wanting more content.
- The End User License Agreement (EULA) may be off-putting for some players, as it limits ownership rights typically expected in indie titles.
- Some players have noted that the transition back to the main menu after completing a level disrupts the flow of gameplay, although this is being addressed in future updates.

The gameplay is characterized by exhilarating mechanics that involve collecting ice crystals while dodging intricate danmaku and spell card attacks, creating a dynamic and immersive experience. Players appreciate the expressive character art and evolving stage designs that enhance the sense of progression, while the graze mechanic adds an exciting layer of strategy. Although the game can be completed in about an hour, its engaging gameplay loop encourages players to refine their skills and achieve higher scores, justifying its $10 price tag.
“Not only is the player tasked with collecting ice crystals, they also have to dodge danmaku (bullet barrages) for exhilarating gameplay.”
“Character art is really expressive, and can immediately be felt from Cirno’s sprite in gameplay, as seeing her become faster and more excited as she collects ice crystals helps the player immerse themselves into the gameplay.”
“Similar to Destiny and Pokémon, these tracks evolve during gameplay, transitioning from mellow and calm to fast-paced and intense, creating a strong sense of progression and focus.”
“In relation to the gameplay, I mentioned to the devs that it didn’t feel good to go back to the main menu after completing a level and that it would be better to go back to the world map so that the player could get back to the gameplay faster.”
“This is where the real meat of the gameplay loop will come from as players are rewarded trophies that are based on their speed of completion, the amount of times they were hit, and their final score.”
“Beyond my personal experience, I also believe that the level of polish and passion put into the gameplay, art, and music described earlier also greatly justify the price.”
