Shinma Touki Den ~ Magus in Mystic Geometries. [PC]

[Despatche]

Version 080530 is highly recommended and can be found here; the installer will complain if the game isn't in the default directory of C:\Program Files\D.N.A. Softwares\神魔討綺伝, and unfortunately I don't know how that clashes with the Program Files situation in NT6.

Please don't submit sub-Gold scores, and try to beat Shinki if you can.

You know, for quite some time now, I've been itching to play this game, and so finally, I've gotten around at last. Took me long enough, lol. Anyhow, I did this particular one on a complete whim a couple hours ago, and I might post more later on at some point, whenever I do get around for the other stages, maybe. For now, here is my small contribution to this thread, for the moment.

PurpleTheGuy - 4,870,475 --- 080302

This game seems a bit like Geometry Wars, if I'm not mistaken. This one's quite a bit of fun, if I do say so myself. Shame, though, that I can't quite exactly use the PS3 controller for this one. Well, I can, but only for moving Patchouli around, so I had to use the mouse for firing rather.

[Despatche]

Thanks for playing! I've spent more time thinking about the game than I have actually playing it...

I'm pretty sure the use of "Geometries" in the subtitle is proof of that much, heh. Even has the crazy particle spam when you hit walls.

Seems I accidentally overwrote my real stage 5 score with a score from another stage, here's the real one:

Stage 05
Despatche - 5,150,750 - C - 080530

And here are some new scores:

Stage 01
Despatche - 5,601,000 - - - 080530

Stage 03
Despatche - 8,473,825 - - - 080530

This game seems to get substantially harder once you finally figure out how it "works", I don't get it. Also I'm really starting to dislike WASD+mouse for arena shooters, I want some Robotron controls!

oh my god i don't think stage 3 is possible anymore once the spinnies start fuck spinnies arhghahsgkaslgasklgnv

[PurpleTheGuy]

Yeah, every shmup seems to get like that, where once you know the full deal of the game, and where it starts to get easy getting 1ccs, you start to set your sights higher, and then suddenly, the game starts to show it's true colours, and that's the fun part of it all, haha.

Yeah, that was my reason for wanting to play this on controllers. I ended up using my PS3 controller, for half the show. The other half was using the mouse for firing, lol.

Anyhow, when I can, I'll definitely sit down, and actually really play through this game a bit more, once I clear some stuff up on my end, which should hopefully be soon, or so I say.

[PurpleTheGuy]

Well, as I have said I'd do, I've come back to this game a bit, and got through the rest of the levels alright. It wasn't too bad, and the scoring was a lot of fun alright! Indeed, once you try to score, it seems the game gets a bit more interesting, especially when you're trying to watch where the enemies spawn and all, haha.

Well, along the way, I've got a couple worthwhile scores I can post up right now:

Stage 03
PurpleTheGuy - 9,761,950 - - - 080302

Spoiler

Stage 05
PurpleTheGuy - 5,533,900 - C - 080302

Spoiler

[Despatche]

updated. you're making me want to try again...

[PurpleTheGuy]

Alright, I got a couple more worthwhile scores where that came from, and it also includes beating that 6th stage, which took a bit more effort, but yeah:

Stage 02 - Form a ring
PurpleTheGuy - 9,097,600 - - - 080302

Spoiler

Stage 06 - Crossing
PurpleTheGuy - 8,706,925 - - - 080302

Spoiler

I guess I'll also put this one up, so I can say I posted on every stage. I'll improve on this one at some point, along with the 1st stage:

Stage 04 - Sudden Death
PurpleTheGuy - 2,158,350 - - - 080302
