The glitch is also known as "shoplifting" xD
UPDATE: This has been patched as of Version 0.02a. Download here: www16.big.or.jp/~zun/data/soft/th18tr_update002a.zip
Easily the biggest glitch as well as a glitch that everyone probably already knows about at this point. This is BY FAR the most broken Touhou demo ever; nothing comes even close.
Done in Version 0.01b.
By opening the pause menu right after you click "Yes" to confirm a card purchase, you go back to the shop and thus you are able to purchase cards indefinitely. You can literally go on forever with it, because the pendant card gives you +50 money, so you can get 8/8 lives/bombs, all other cards in the shop, full power and over 1000 money (which is maximum Point Item Value). You can even STACK cards, meaning that you can have e.g. a ridiculously high number a Miracle Mallets. This gets beyond broken and it's hilarious.
People have even COUNTERSTOPPED the DEMO by doing this, that is, a score of 9,999,999,990. There are no words for how insanely broken it is. Basically, reset until you get the Miracle Mallet in a shop, stack it, and enjoy generating extreme amounts of money from bullets! And repeatedly buy pendants to max out Point Item Value, obviously. I've never laughed at a Touhou demo quite this much.
Even without infinite cards people are getting billions, so the full game can probably counterstop anyway. Miracle Mallet + Byakuren Scroll, Sakuya's bomb to freeze bullets in place, then mallet them right before the bombs ends, gg.
