Weird doujin shmup from 2007 with Radiant Silvergun-like weapon system & player characters that have drastically different playstyles. Comes with an infamously large manual and sidebars with useless information.
Made by Ruminant's Whimper. Spiritual sequel to Radio Zonde.

Sorry to necro such an old thread, but I was asked to post my score here.

Full Sequence Order - Solidstate
Darkbeetlebot - 20,469 - Kagura[4] - ALL TLB - Prudent - Proof

Full Sequence Order - Solidstate
Zaarock - 97,446 - Fossilmaiden - ALL TLB - Drastic - screenshot/video

Steam version. Really sloppy run, died a lot which cost the 100k.

Here comes this idiot with his shit scores.

Full Sequence Order (Solid State):
SAS - 25,324 - Kagura[4] (Xanthez) - TLB? - Drastic - https://i.imgur.com/Z2nseUw.png

For some reason I can't just access Quadruple Ones with Xanthez. RIP me.
Maybe someday I'll try to get better score.

Edit:

The Great Majority (Solid State):
SAS - 10,273 - Kagura[4] (Xanthez) - Clear - Drastic - https://i.imgur.com/LSJz9Up.png

Might as well post this one too.

Nice scores! Apart from Kagura[1] (Moon Cradle) the Kagura are pretty incompatible with the scoring system for Full Sequence so I wouldn't worry about it. Moon Cradle is in the >100k club with the other characters while the other types are stuck in some <51k handicap.

Did someone say "shit scores"?

The Great Majority (Solidstate)
Cadrin - 9,313 - Minogame - Clear - Moderate - https://i.imgur.com/0xcajCg.jpg

I saw in some video on YouTube that in the third part of the stage, you can get an Erratic Infant (the shuttlecock-shaped enemy) stuck at the bottom at the screen, unable to leave, to prevent Orbital Squids from spawning, and focus on grinding Crystalline Leaves for score. I didn't do that here, though.

Finally managed to beat my old Full Sequence Order score from 2012 so I thought I'd post it here. By a good margin, too (over 5,000 spirit), though much of that was thanks to choosing Drastic instead of Prudently life cap. Also, while I'm at it, here are the rest of my scores. All of these were done on the Steam version.

Full Sequence Order - Solidstate
Shepardus - 26,391(7739) - Minogame - ALL TLB - Drastic - Screenshot/Replay

Momentary speed control for all.

Full Sequence Order - Solidstate
Prinny - 33,302 - Fossilmaiden - ALL TLB - Drastic - video

The Great Majority - Solidstate

Steam version. Full Sequence Order is 1B, 2L, 3L, and Shrine of Farewell appearing after stage 6.

Full Sequence Order - Adept
saint_Mauve - 28,789 - Minogame - ALL TLB - Prudently - screenshot: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 2093537448

Hellsinker went on sale recently, so I picked it back up again. Did a quick, sloppy run here just so I could clear the game, and to my surprise I netted 28.7k spirits! Just gotta clear the extra stages and I can go back to practicing Xanthez scoring.
On that topic though, I wouldn't knock Xanthez's scoring potential. In Segment Location, set to Unplugged/Alt/Drastic/Adept, I scored:
1,485 spirits, segment 1B
3,172 spirits, segment 3L
3,497 spirits, segment 5
It'll take a while before I can put together a good run for Xanthez, but it should break the 51k spirits ceiling you mentioned.

edit 5/21: Er, you placed my score in the "Solidstate" bracket when my post and the screenshot clearly show that the run was performed with Adept bootleg ghost.

Took a couple days off Xanthez practice to go back to Minogame. Been wanting to submit a proper score for 4 years, and now I got it.

Full Sequence Order - Adept
