Gameplay

Your photocamera is your most important weapon! Use it to...

• Slow down time while aiming (makes dodging easier!)
• Heal yourself (Dream-life status does not grant immunity from Death)
• Lower enemy defenses (make bullets do 1.5x damage) while they're in the **developing** frame
• Lock in place enemies and bullets

GAME JAM THOUGHTS

Bullet hells are for me the most natural game design instinct. Thus when I heard of the limitation my mind eventually found itself with the Touhou 9.5 photo mechanic, which actually does not fit the limitations. However, since photos lock in place facts of life and emotions anyway, I, hopefully correctly, thought this would be a good fit with some major changes. In the end what's left is only the real world context of it, rather than a game mechanic, mostly.
