Lost around ~$15,000 in equity in a poker tournament or so and was super pissed off so i played one credit at 3 am (highest score before this was ~4.9 mil)... this was the result.

this is the first shmup i've played that doesn't punish you super harshly for not exactly knowing how to go through certain parts of the game, which is pretty cool imo.

It probably means you've triggered the stage 4 boss glitch. It makes the game "postpone" the extends by the amount of points you've received from the glitch. You would have triggered it at 2.2x million but you just didn't reach that far.

Killed in the same fucking place for the third time! As soon as I find a way to no-miss the canyon part of stage 12, stage 13's tank kills me during a bomb explosion! And then I proceed to get massacred by lasers and energy rings in stage 17, as usual! GRR.

I again failed to get the glitch bonus from the S4 boss. I did milk Ryu for 50K, though, and managed to go podless for the first three stages.

I find it odd that using the laser led to my best game.

I have some kind of mental block with this game... I die in the exact same places every time.

DoubleThink: sorry, you posted just before I updated the scoreboard and I missed your post, and I only check from the last 'scoreboard updated' onwards >_>.

Aquas: Pod type? I put it in as 'Smart?' for now but would like a confirmation.

Scoreboard updated.

[Aquas]

Oops, sorry about that. Anyway, I got the clear with 1 life remaining. I didn't have any stupid deaths this run so it came through for me... this game requires some patience. Bomb and wiggle a lot! I think the best part about this game is sweeping a screen full of enemies with a bomb, diving right into the heart of everything, point blanking shit left and right.
