[Despatche]

Despatche - 127,700 - 1-3 - 1P - MAME

Autofire makes some things way easier and doesn't change the difficulty of other things whatsoever.

Player side isn't necessary for this game, you can't actually pick 2P side by itself.

CptRansom - 146,800 - 1-3 - 1P - MAME

Screwed up on 1-3 boss and got smacked by the checkpoint!

Hate to post again so soon, but I can't seem to do any better tonight...

I played this one a bit before, it's all about the charge shot.

[DenT4F]

DenT4FacE - 138,700 - 1-3 - 1P - MAME

Will definitely improve on that. Cool game.

No-miss through the first three stages (with some miraculous dodges), died a bunch attempting stage 4 blind but had enough lives to make it to the midboss (just before the boss).

The slowdown is pretty obnoxious but other than I'm liking this game.

DocHauser - 151,300 - 1-3 - 1P - Shmupmame 4.2

That's probably all I've got time for this week. Should be able to spend a bit more time on weeks 3 and 4, at least.

[Perikles]

Perikles - 511,600 - ALL - 1P - ShmupMAME 4.2

Quick 2-ALL placeholder - will dive into the fine art of checkpoint milking at the end of the week when I have more time.

Dumple - 333,600 - 2-2 - 1P - MAME 0.185

That might be all I get to play this week, but I'm pretty happy with the cheap-and-cheerful 1cc.

I don't want to milk checkpoints so I'm calling it quits for the week.

1-ALL is within reach, mostly a matter of whether I'll have time this week.

The loop in this game is really tame. If you're able to nab a 1-ALL, the ALL is much closer than you would think. The noticeable differences are few and you can count the tactics that need to be updated on one hand. Almost everything can be handled the exact same way except with a slightly shorter time frame to do it. The only thing that seems to be significantly trickier is the stage 2-3 midboss.
