You shouldn't percieve the bombs in Garegga as actual bombs. It's the key scoring element in the whole game, make use of it as often as you can. There are some bits where you want to hoard them though, and that's stage 1 (because you want everything you have for the flamingoes) and stage 7 (because you want to milk BHMKII).
If you want to get a proper score, it's essentially important to read the ST, so you know what enemies, buildings etc. you want to destroy with bomb.
This is not the regular panic bomb and stay alive shmup, if you don't have the attitude to suicide and use bombs, Garegga won't be your game. It's all about having no bombs and no lives left and dodging the last boss' bullet patterns - pure adrenaline!

Been playing as Bornnam, am I flying a zombie dragon? Started getting the Madball bomb trick to work. The tap and pause to affect autofire is cool. Knowing how the item drop count works is paying off.
