Badz's BHA2 Judging: Subconsciously Lunatic Eye by Zino
Played on Hard mode

The final score is out of 25, split as follows:

Gameplay: 15 points
How well the script plays. Each pattern is judged individually.
The individual scores are further split as 5/15 for concept and 10/15 for gameplay.

Creativity and theme: 5 points
How well the script uses the contest theme. Based on having a fitting pair of characters, and making good use of both of them.

Aesthetics and presentation: 5 points
How good the script looks and feels. Includes visuals, as well as other presentation aspects like sound effects and the system.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creativity and theme: 3.75/5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm... not quite sure why those two would be together, actually.
But the danmaku works quite well, and has some fresh takes on their usual styles.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aesthetics and presentation: 3.75/5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There isn't any specific aesthetic flair that stands out, but the script looks fine in general.
There are enough pretty-looking patterns that I feel like it's worth pointing out here, too.

However, there's one presentation quirk: the game will display "Extra" no matter which difficulty you pick, which made me question whether the options worked in the first place.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gameplay: 10.8/15
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------
Nonspell 1
10.5/15 (3.5/5 | 7/10)

It's some fairly standard "stream through the random shots" gameplay. Fine enough to start with.
The glowball wave between cycles is a pain to read when the shots from both characters overlap, though.

--------------------------------------------------
Spell 1: Wavelength "Moon's Telephone Wire"
7.5/15 (3.5/5 | 4/10)

I can't keep up with Reisen's shots due to their sheer speed, so it's hard to evaluate the rest of the pattern.
I feel like Koishi's roses should be faster, so the retribution from hitting a laser is more immediate.

--------------------------------------------------
Nonspell 2
11/15 (4/5 | 7/10)

Fairly standard streaming again.
Koishi's rose heart is very pretty!

--------------------------------------------------
Spell 2: Sky Sign "MindBreaker"
12.5/15 (4/5 | 8.5/10)

Simple and fun.
The transparent lasers that allow seeing bullets through them are a nice choice.

--------------------------------------------------
Nonspell 3
10/15 (3/5 | 7/10)

It's just some curvy lines... it feels like filler, but it's short enough that it doesn't pose a problem.

--------------------------------------------------
Spell 3: Blind Sign "Unforeseen Love"
11.5/15 (4.5/5 | 7/10)

The green pattern here is beautiful. And the polygonal shape makes it match nicely with the preceding nonspell too.
The dodging is interesting, but it could afford a few more roses. As it is right now, the player only ever dodges two waves of them.

--------------------------------------------------
Spell 4: "La vie en rose"
12/15 (4/5 | 8/10)

This is a nice spin on Koishi's survival. I like how it doesn't waste any time progressing through the phases.
It lags, but I'm going to blame that on my wimpy computer instead of the script itself.

--------------------------------------------------
Spell 5: Wavelength "Wave-Particle Realignment"
11.5/15 (4/5 | 7.5/10)

The repositioning effect looks really neat.
The first phase doesn't do anything spectacular with it, but the second phase's curving lanes create some really interesting scenarios.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final score: 18.3/25
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Closing notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-I like this script's pacing. The patterns all go by fairly quickly, and it never feels like one of them overstays its welcome.
-Overall, it's a fun and quick boss fight with some very nice-looking danmaku.
