Touhou Cannonball Quick Basic UI guide
I made a quick and dirty guide on the game's premise last time. This time here's a quick guide to the UI and menu stuff.
Before I continue, please be informed that my knowledge of Japanese is quite basic (though I can read some Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana). So if you spot errors in the translation or explanations, please feel free to correct me.
☆ Home Screen Main Menu ☆
This is the your home screen. You will see buttons to navigate the different game features. You can select whom you want to put in your home screen too.
There are two versions of this menu which you can switch to by clicking a button at the lower right corner. You know it switches if the icons become orange. Click it again to return to this menu with green icons.
☆ Home Screen Settings / Profile Editor ☆
This is where you set your profile and home screen character, accessible from the main menu button at the bottom left. The bunch of letters below the player name is your player ID which you can share for others to add you.
☆ Quests Menu ☆
This is the quests menu. Click on what you want to play in. Extra quests give you upgrading materials. Story Mode lets you see the, um, story.
☆ Characters Menu ☆
This is the characters menu. Manage your characters here.
☆ Board Team Menu ☆
The board team setting allows you to select your avatar and characters that can use spell cards (support / special effects) in the board game. The leftmost box lets you set your leader / avatar. The other 3 lets you select your main characters which can include your leader as well. The 4th box with nothing on it is a slot for another player's support character. Click on the box to set characters. Remember that the blue button should be pressed to confirm your settings.
☆ Battle Team Menu ☆
This lets you set your characters for the cannonball battle mode. I highly recommend setting strong characters here to increase your chance of winning cannonball battles (see below). Click on the character cards to change settings. The blue button confirms changes.
☆ Cannonball Battle ☆
Cannonball battles let you earn CB fast... if you win. It's important to set strong characters in the battle menu to increase your chances of winning. You can enter that mode by stepping onto this piece with the yin-yang orb.
The blue button lets you begin the battle.
The red button makes you not battle.
The green button lets you check your status.
Here is a screenshot of the cannonball battle. Battles are semi automatic. You can get a girl to target a specific enemy by clicking on the icons at the left. If you have earn CB quests it is highly recommended you do these to earn lots of CB if you win.
And that's it for the game basics. Have fun :)
