I am literally shaking after clearing this for the first time. Because I'm very new to avoidance I imagine this is a common feeling amongst players of the genre, but to me, someone who functions more comfortably in environments that are almost totally under control... let me start over.
Azumol is a single screen of light needle followed by a two minute-ish avoidance, set to a remix/cover that seems to incorporate several different Touhou songs—the one melody I could pick out was 'Green-eyed Jealousy', which is sort of the main leitmotif of Touho 8: Subterranean Animism. The needle is a single screen, single save consistency type where the hardest named jump is a Rukito ledge. The avoidance is something else.

Writing this review just after clearing, my heart is going so fast my chest hurts, and this game has left a serious impression on me. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a low-medium difficulty avoidance with lots of fair rng and fast reads.

A easy-to-medium difficulty needle screen followed by a really nice avoidance, consisting mostly of barrage.
The avoidance is front and center of this game, and it's obvious why. The creator has put a lot of effort into polishing it up, and in my opinion, this should be seen as a staple of barrage design.
It's a barrage that is best suited to intermediate players who have had a fair bit of experience reading RNG. If you haven't, there are several attacks that will feel near impossible (one of them being at the end of the fight).
All in all, it's a fantastic barrage avoidance preceded by normal needle. I think everyone except for beginners should play this - I highly recommend!
+A very fun barrage
+Great music
+Fantastic visuals and the production value is clearly high
-The BGM for the needle had been heavily compressed unfortunately
-I wanted to play for longer :(

A surprisingly charming game that I think of as "Barrage 101" - has all the staples: the music, the bullets, the transitions and screen effects - but without the brutal difficulty I associate with most of these types of avoidances. Not exactly free, as there's still some RNG sprinkled in there that can really screw you, and a lot of fast attacks, but if you're even a mildly seasoned avoidance player I think you'll breeze through it surprisingly quickly. I ended up clearing it on my third attempt, helped very much by dumb RNG luck, of course.
Has a cursory needle screen beforehand that's perfectly acceptable but uninteresting. Overall a game that I'd recommend to anyone, as it's a fun little tribute for veterans and a very forgiving intro to barrage bosses for newcomers.
