A currency system rewards clearing difficult stages, enabling players to enhance Reimu’s abilities with power-ups or cosmetic items. The motivation for ongoing play comes from mastering challenging patterns, collecting all boss patterns, and competing for high scores.

How to Play

Beginner’s Guide:

• Step 1: Download YabaSanshiro 2 Pro from your device’s app store, install it, and familiarize yourself with the on-screen controls. Start with the tutorial level or the first boss stage.
• Step 2: During gameplay, tap the attack button as the indicator reaches the bottom for normal attacks, or wait until the meter is full and press all buttons at once for a special attack. Focus on timing your button presses to the music beat.
• Step 3: Survive each stage by defeating all enemies and bosses within the limited time (or without dying). Clearing stages unlocks new content, power-ups, and allows you to compete on leaderboards.

Pro Tips:

• Master the auto-run function: Set your character to run automatically through most levels and manually input button presses at critical moments for perfect timing and higher scores.
• Watch for attack patterns: Each boss has unique attack animations; learn their attack cycles and defensive windows to minimize damage and execute special attacks effectively.
• Utilize combo meters: Build up your combo meter by landing accurate attacks, as high combo bonuses often trigger powerful special attacks and can break through boss defense barriers.
