Last credit before sleep, still just warming up (only 5 hours spent so far). I'm close to being almost nearly reasonably optimal ( ) in the first two stages... have to train the further ones. Also, I found that replacing the music in the game with Rise Against makes my concentration better .
Seriously though, I'm a complete shmup beginner, so it's not a surprise you're doing much better than me... just try joining a Quake speedrunning contest, though! *shakes fist*

What's even more -worthy is that I suck at this game.

I tend to be around 500K at the time you whoosh through the screen in level 2, and near a million early in stage 3.spadgy wrote:Wow - that's an awesone score by level 3. I need to improve my route.

Damn those multiple turrets just before the boss!
It is no bad thing to be a "beginner", as long as you have some competitiveness about you, you have some good observation skills, and you're good at learning from your mistakes. A dash of OCD is good, too. At least, when you're a "beginner" you have larger and more frequent improvements, which can be motivating. When you get to a certain level of skill, improvements become smaller and less frequent. -_-;;dex wrote: Seriously though, I'm a complete shmup beginner, so it's not a surprise you're doing much better than me... just try joining a Quake speedrunning contest, though! *shakes fist*
And Quake? I'll stick with Metroid Prime, thanks. ^_-

Autofire - Button A on, delay 1
Ver.: Fay Rorce (Ver 2.3J)
Another score with 600 points at the end!
Bah, I was doing MUCH better this time, but got crowded off the screen later on in stage 3. At least I made a good chain before I went under!
Edit: Lol, didn't even advance a place.

I'm discovering scoring opportunities but then forgetting there are bullets coming at me. Oops. Better aim for stage clears before nitpicking for higher score, methinks. Hate those pesky popcorn ships getting on your sides.

ranking alongside top elected officials for notoriety. -Ed Oscuro

First credit today. Also that score is from the very beginning of stage 4 - so many chains lost because of dying here... I'm getting really good scores on the first 2 stages now with surprising regularity. And stage 3 can go to heck.

Seems like every time I play this, I get slightly less far into stage 6 but with a slightly higher score.
Probably due to rank and whatnot.
