## Description
Mysterious ruins were discovered in the vicinity of the Hakurei shrine in old
Japan. Reimu Hakurei, the shrine maiden, wants to explore the ruins; to her
astonishment, other young girls with supernatural powers are also interested
in the ruins. Rumor has it that the heart of the ruins contains a source of
unimaginable power. Reimu must now compete against the other girls in order to
be the first to enter the core of the ruins.
The third entry in the Tōhō series is, like the second, a vertically
scrolling shooter. However, _T ōhō: Yumejikū_ can only be played as a versus
game (split-screen, for two players or one player against computer). Choosing
any of the five available playable girls, the player has to compete against
another character, going through the same stages; the boss enemy of a stage is
the actual other character.
Like in the previous game, each character has a limited amount of bombs to
inflict massive damage on all enemies on screen. A new feature is a special
attack, which is unique to each girl, including various powerful attacks such
as a laser ray, revolving orbs that destroy enemies on their way, shots sent
to different directions, etc.
