there's no gradius in this game except for the powerup bar, which is better than gradius's.

edit: "checkpoints" and "losing your stuff when you die" is not gradius, not even technically
Hey Despatche,

If you have a powerup active on the selection meter, on dying it'll be bumped back to the Speed Up slot. Basically you get a free powerup and nothing else. Just like Gradius! :mrgreen:

You're right though, it's really not like Gradius. There are some ideas here and there (uh, the floating continents in stage 2, at a stretch, might seem like maze navigation from a Gradius or Salamander title) but it's standing on its own. The enemy placement (especially those big bouncing things, not to mention floods of popcorn that beg for the laser spread) really reminds me of other Toaplan titles. (This should probably go back to the Strategy talk page on Shmups Chat, though.)

I hate this and I won't subject myself to any more of it. But on the off chance it is actually relevant for the team:

Oh cool, I no-missed to the stage four boss. This third form is really easy, all I have to do is get under hi-

PICHUUUUN~

It wouldn't be so bad if each run didn't take like 30 minutes. I fully expected to make it to Stage 6 based on my savestate performance, but one little error... ugh.

Getting better at the game. Seriously though, feels a lot like Gradius. On another note, I just did what I call one of the best things I've done so far as "taking two tries to beat the Stage 2 boss", mostly because those redirecting lasers keep catching me off guard. I guess I'm becoming more confident in my hitbox now! :V

I actually want to play more of this shit AND I HAVE TO GO TO BED. FUCK.

Starting to get very tired of bullets and ships hitting me from the side or beneath :? Oh, and the type of large enemy that appears on stage 4 is dependent on what type of weapon you have.
