#2Nice! IMO, it ought to be significantly harder. I was able to survive for 45 seconds on my first try--that's long enough that I started getting bored, and I don't really want to try again because it would take at least 45 seconds to beat my previous score.
By comparison, consider how long a typical Flappy Bird game lasts, particularly on your first try--probably less than 10 seconds at most! That makes you want to try again.

#3Didn't move at all, top 81% of all time.

#5ah, perfectly captures the meditative feeling of touhou, just needs the music :-)
games like this have a lot to teach you about patience and reflexes

The Top 81% calculation in the game is not as good as it may sound. Top 100% means you are at the bottom. You can confirm this by just losing immediately, which will place you in the Top 9X%.

#7I think your math on the percentage is inverted. If you immediately die it says you're in the top 99%

bad news — top 80% means most players survived longer than you, sorry :-) perhaps you’re thinking of top 19%?
but you’re right, lots of bullet hells get easier if you hold still and only move when required.

Depends. There must be some sweet spot there, since if it lasts too little, then it becomes frustrating to retry every few seconds.

Nope! “Top K” means you’re on the high score list of size K.
Only the best players are in the “top 1%” for example. Being in the top 50 is more prestigious than the top 300,000.
