Just dled it and I am shocked how good this game is. :shock:

The level design is one of the finest I have ever seen in a vertical shooter. It's easily on par with ikaruga. Why the hell is this game still that unknown?

It's either because it's a game in the Development section, or because it's a game people aren't persuaded to care about. Either way, when the game comes out, noone's really going to play it then either.

The problem with this genre is a lack of "advertising", and an abundance of poor mentality. We need more "post you're scores", we need to encourage people that scoring is the right thing to do. Again, the tourneys help, but only when it's tourney time.

This game is shmup gold. I think when the full game is released it will get the attention it deserves. Just like how hydorah got all that hype once it came out.

Not exactly... if I remember correctly, scoring is broken in Hydorah; I don't remember if the patch fixed this. Either way, that game's already exhausting enough to the point where you really don't want to play it more than once. Also, proof of purchase.

That you guys have even been able to find this game or this thread is completely random, and I will probably forever question exactly how you did it.

I think it has to do with "Finland." Scientists are investigating.

The R-9 is a prick, yeah. Took me a bit to figure out how to actually fight it.

oh look, it's like a 70k improvement after hundreds of failed runs.
I feel like that every time I actually finish a run, it's a new high-score.
It's not a 2-ALL for a good reason... :wink:

According to devs, i'm still missing potential 100k score from doing something or not doing something, and I have no clue what it is. (and they won't tell me) So once I (or someone) figure that out, expect a huge boost in score.

Can I suggest you to add an explanation to the weapon numbers in the OP?
Also I find the scoreboards a little slow to read (because there are still just a few entries >_>), may I suggest this formatting for the tables:
http://pastebin.com/GcNm46aK


EDIT: Alright, after a short discussion with Despatche, he refused to add the weapon number explanations to the OP, because he thinks that because "no-one plays the game", it would be unreasonable to have them! :lol:
Sad, seeing that it was almost a reason for me to not post a score at all, because I forgot which one was left and right and had to do another run to confirm.
So, for the help of others (if anyone even scrolls down here to see it), the weapon numbers are:

1. Back-shot 2. Side-shot
/
1. Lock-on 2. Charge
/
1. Sword 2. Drill


Nevermind, everything seems to be fine now. Thanks despatche!
