Are you retarded or are you just pretending to be retarded in hopes of making someone laugh?

I don't see you with an explanation!

I see as both parties are flying across a perfectly horizontal plane, with Reimu looking left while flying right and with the enemy looking right while flying right.

I prefer to think of it as being a simplified version of what's going on:

In reality, it's a classic dogfight. Both combatants are attempting to get behind each other to shoot each other down. However, because they're not in aircraft, they're much more agile and flexible. The sheer amount of bullets used is half for show, and half due to the agility of a flying humanoid, especially those of small size, like many of Gensokyo's inhabitants.

There is no up or down. The dimensional border of gensokyo is literally the divide between dimensions. Everything in Gensokyo exists entirely in two dimensions.

You know that paradox where in a game you control a professional soldier but you are so bad at it that on screen he looks like a complete moron?

Well, ZUN ingeniously solved this: Reimu looks in the opposite direction because there's so much projectiles that she would become epileptic, yet she is skilled enough to take the risk of dodging billions of them while not looking. So what when the player is bad? Well, shit happens when you don't see anything. A fart may have prevented Reimu from hearing a bullet coming fast at her or something like that.

Except the background which is 3D.

It's like this you drunkard

This is how I imagined it too, I always wanted a Crimson Skies-type 3D dogfighting game with Touhous.

but if that were the case, the boss would be in helicopter view!

ughh this game makes no sense!

It just make it more easier to perceive and cooler too, since you can see the boss doing smug poses.

They're both in an upright position. It's a normal perspective for traditional 2D games, it's like you fags have never played one of them before. Compare.

Look, clearly ZUN doesn't know what the fuck he's doing. The only reasonable answer is that he's a lazy alcoholic with piss poor design skills but adequate programming ability.

The games varied in quality level over time but his art has been getting consistently better. TH13 looks pretty good, even cute at times.
