game along with the fanbook, but ZUN did not have enough time to make that happen. Even so, ZUN continued to use the name "Touhou Bunkachou" for his photography game without Ichijinsha's authorization (although Ichijinsha later agreed to let ZUN use the name). Development took a month and a half to finish, and the game Touhou Bunkachou ~ Shoot the Bullet. was finally released on December 30, 2005. The game was also released on Steam on June 18, 2021. Post-release On January 9, 2006, ZUN added an empty level called after Level Ex with the version 1.01a patch, with the promise that he would add playable stages in it at a later time. On October 16, 2006, however, ZUN announced that he will not make the "Gōgai" stages since he does not have the time, and he would rather move forward onto new projects, thus leaving an empty level hanging in Shoot the Bullet. In addition to being a standalone game, Shoot the Bullet became something of a game engine on which ZUN's future games base. Mountain of Faith and Uwabami Breakers (Drinking Party, 2007) are two games which use Shoot the Bullet as their prototype. On March 14, 2010, Shoot the Bullet'''s sequel Double Spoiler was released. It retains the gameplay of Shoot the Bullet'' with renewed characters.
