Ba Quartet X

About

Ba Quartet X is a self-made action-platformer inspired by classic 2D shooters and the Touhou Project. You control one of four characters each with distinct moves like charge shots slashing attacks and wall jumps. The goal is to clear stages using precise platforming and bullet-dodging while collecting power-ups to take on increasingly tricky bosses. Combat mixes rapid fire and mid-air dashes to keep things flowing between platforming sections. The game leans into its roots with retro-style level design and a focus on fast-paced action. The game stands out for its tight controls and challenging boss fights which require memorizing patterns and mastering each character’s abilities. While it doesn’t have official recognition it’s a niche title that Touhou fans often revisit for its energetic gameplay. The mix of platforming and shooting keeps things varied though the lack of modern polish might not appeal to everyone. Short levels and optional challenges add replay value for those who enjoy refining their skills.
