Thanks! Yeah 500k is a nice threshold to beat, especially for a run without the kind of milking like what you managed to pull off with Amazo.
For 600k it seems like you want to milk the last boss a lot more? And possibly milk boss 3 as well. But that's probably when the risk of insanity due to bad bonus stage RNG increases

Here's my latest clear; been practicing/learning without autofire since the GGA cabinet won't have it when I attempt a run there.

Congrats Pete! Good to have some non-autofire company on the board.

Thanks, BIL!

A small update, no autofire as well on this one:

Currently working on this game; submitting a score both as an incentive for me to keep working for the clear, and to also bump the thread in anticipation of the Arcade Archives release this week.

BEAM DUELS!!!

Manual/15Hz/30Hz were used in this run.

I started without autofire and tried to avoid the "POW UP" item to make the first stage a bit more engaging, and then switched to 15Hz for a comfy but still "intended" experience... that's it until things got hectic enough and glued my finger to the 30Hz button! (^.^)

I also tried to counterbeam every boss but the last one, which I was going to milk for a bit more but that extend I got at 520k scared me thinking it was a time-out sound cue and panic-bombed!! XD

Great game!! Had to adapt my playstyle to enjoy the whole run but it was worth it! Otherwise it has some pace/difficulty problems.

Congrats on the clear! I haven't managed to crack this one yet, but it's one I'd love to get to now that I've got Gun Frontier under my belt. Love the YT thumbnail for the video. ;3
