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 :lol:

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

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!!! :mrgreen:

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

Hey, remember when I said I submitted a score as an incentive for me to keep working on the clear? I sure did:

Thanks! Your guide was pretty integral for me learning the game; interested in seeing how you flesh it out further.
