Thanks! i think i had 5 hearts at the start of stage 5 (pretty unusual - think that's the best i've done), and 4 at the boss so will have lost 2 lives on stage 5 (but gained one back with the 8m extend) and 3 on the boss. yeah i was restarting if i die on the first 2 stages too. good luck!

JB-5th lvl 5.1. This was a super sloppy run for score, but I made it to level 5. I made it once before (with a better score) but I chose to continue because I thought the first credit was safe. This game is great to train in!

Thanks to the band Exodus for my training music.

In awe of your skills, third_strike. Got any motivation for me?

Throwing up an Alice Master credit for funsies. Great character to play as. Pissed off that I didn't get the extend - I whiffed twice on the fucking st4 boss, like usual. Her spread is really great at picking up some extra enemies to combo.

Pleiades is such a lil dickhead. I hate his dumb streamcrossing blue clusters that start off the final form. They look sooooo easy to dodge thru but they love to hit the side of my hitbox or something. Get bent, Pleiades!

Tonight was a baddo night for practice. I grinded for an hour and it was just like "eeeeeh you almost dodged something!" I was stuck trying to get gold medals on stage 4 for a hot minute. Still too sloppy at it. Was playing way too aggressive and being too reluctant to bomb. It's practice, so I might as well face all the patterns, but it's also good to bomb when you need to so you can practice bombing and keep your head. Really wish I had more time to play--i always have to make the choice between drawing and shmupping, and that's rough.

Motivation? Pretty sure!
I can remember of play this after get out home 7 am and return around 10 pm after a long day of study, work and stress. In days like this, I could play only a run, and I would be really happy if I even reach last boss, but my greatest happiness was learn any new detail in this run. Then I would say, learn something new should be your best achieviment. Keep playing then suddenly you will start at making things which you was not capable before.

Thank you, third_strike. That makes me feel better about shmups AND making art. Mindset = applying!

Whooooo! Got to the stage 5 midboss with JB 5th. Actually reached stage 5 with 3 lives somehow, so i'm really happy about that. Farthest i've gotten thus far.

Forgot to add a MODE field. Please specify whether you played Arcade or Arcade Plus, they are not the same game.
