The year of fanmemes.

Unification of the Artful Rain is a game from Team αlternative Σnding (I had to copy pasta that name) and was made primarily by Akakyu.

It's a pretty interesting game which tries to take in elements not common in ZUN games, such as enemy chaining.

The flow system, which I did not utilize in this run, is the heart of the scoring system, in which you can double your score by getting a bonus depending on your performance. Getting items, grazing, level of the boss. Though you don't get invincibility so you still die if you get hit during it.

You fill the gauge by chaining enemies and getting those little flow droplets which can only be obtained by PoC'ing.

Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised at how balanced this game was. I know balance by itself doesn't necessarily make a good fangame, but it definitely helps.

v0.01a had a few memes here and there but for a fangame, the first draft was insanely strong from a balancing perspective.

The game is also really aesthetically pleasing. It's very apparent that a lot of time and effort was put into making the patterns look beautiful.

Stage 3 boss theme is the best song in the game and I will fight you about it!
