The plot itself aside, itвЂ™s pretty darn clever to invoke the image of cherry petals swirling in the wind for a bullet hell game that has players both dodging and delivering projectiles in increasingly elaborate patterns.

Its story revolves around an endless winter, as the energy of spring is being used to feed a demonic cherry tree, coaxing it towards a full and вЂњperfectвЂќ state of blooming. Perfect Cherry Blossom is the seventh game in the cult favorite bullet hell shooter series, Touhou Project. This isnвЂ™t the only time cherry blossoms appear in the game, and they are also used to great effect in some of OkamiвЂ™s promotional art, providing softness in stark contrast to AmaterasuвЂ™s bold, fiery design.Дў. Flower performs his special dance, вЂњThe Gura Shuffle.вЂќ This then feeds into another quest where a sickly old man is returned to health only upon seeing the cherry blossoms returned to their full glory. This colorful man helps the celestial wolf (and main character) Amaterasu restore the flowers to the corrupted cherry trees scattered around his cityвЂ¦ Or rather, Amaterasu helps him by casting a spell that can revive plants while Mr. Flower is far from the most important character in the Wii classic Okami, but his quest line is among the more charming ones that the player can complete. We may be just past the peak of cherry blossom viewing season, but itвЂ™s never too late to acknowledge the widespread and often breathtaking use of these iconic pink blooms in videogames.

More specifically, the brilliant pink flowers whose significance in Japan has made them an exceptionally familiar sight in game landscapes today.
