STGT Gaiden-Doujin Label - 3rd Week - Twin Tiger Shark - Hi-Score thread


Week 3 Winner
Twin Tiger Shark


So, you know all those old shmups? Twin Cobra. Kyukyouku Tiger. Fire Shark. Full with their old-school bullshit and unfairness. Now, Twin Tiger Shark takes all the good parts from those shmups of yore and builds it up into a homage to the olden times but with a great deal of polish and quality. Game mode to be played is Hard, two loops (so no looping forever!).

Prinny - Great Justice - 2,203,300 - Stage 1-5 - Score

I'll just post my score now before I forget. I don't really know what I am doing as far as survival and scoring is concerned. Not sure what I should put in ship type. Primarily used the blue power-up. I'm debating about whether I should use a screenshot from the online leaderboards or to take a picture with a camera (no idea how to take a screenshot in-game yet).

[KennyMan666]

There is no ship type, I'm assuming nasty copy-pasted that line and forgot to remove that part.

Those of you who own the game on X360 since it's on XBLIG, I'm 99% sure the versions are identical as of the latest patch so you can play on that if you want.

[Iori Branford]

How about last param = platform?

changed last param to platform.

(no idea how to take a screenshot in-game yet).

does printscreen ingame not work? otherwise, screenshot of the online leaderboards is fine, as long as its highlighted in said screenshot (this does automatically happen when you upload scores). This is because i dont want to go through the entire online scoreboard looking for just your score. screenshot should atleast include all of the below:

Name, Score, Stage, Difficulty, Platform

which shouldnt be to difficult to capture (the previous two entries do, so i expect the rest to follow). try to keep the initials there close to your usernames here.

Also, you are all perfectly allowed to crib about "why the tank shots are so goddamn fast?" in the discussion thread.

Posting this before I forget:

Spoiler

I still can't upload my score to the online leaderboard :C . It looks like this (I think my PC may be blocking the upload and that's why it shows like this?).

What's the file that hold the scores? Somebody is willing to test something for me?

EDIT:

(no idea how to take a screenshot in-game yet)

To take screenshots of the game put it on windowed mode and then printscreen.

Leaderboard upload says 1-4 but I died on the final boss. Could we get an extra day or two for this considering how late the thread was posted?

It seems that if you start the program and try to upload scores it won't do anything, and you have to do it immediately after you've played the credit.

I've gotten a score on the leaderboard, but not my current best one, and i do remember that i didn't press the upload/view on that one.. and trying to upload it afterwards doesn't seem to update it for me...

Also, the game does not give me any confirmation that it succeed to upload it (just jump back to the title screen) ..

well, that's my piece of cake

Will try to improve if I have more time to play. Putting this up just in case I don't.

I like a lot about the game, but recovery after death is infuriating - you don't have enough firepower to take down all the green planes, which then sneak back onscreen to kamikaze you as you attempt to deal with all the other stuff being flung your way. Allowing the player to retain one level of weapon power as it does on Easy mode would have been a substantial help.

[Aleksei]

You basically have to play a perfect game b/c recovery is almost impossible, so I've been inching my way through, dying in a unique way every time. I'm surprised how high the scores have been especially since I can only get as far as the start of level four because of something hitting me

Not to mention the game sometimes skips/freezes/jerks and i run into things or a boss doesn't show up....restart syndrome. This game and raiden fighters have made me restart stage one way too many times. I guesss I'm not suited for some types of stgs.

[Nifty]

Phew, held my nerve long enough to get the clear.

Recovery doesn't seem quite as hard as some people are suggesting. I think I died on Stage 2 and recovered, died on Stage 3 and recovered, and died against the final boss, but managed to reach it again on my last life.

[PlatinumHawke]

platinumhawke - team rampant piracy - 3,034,350 - 2-2 - PC
No bombing the last boss was one of the mist nerve racking things ever.

[KennyMan666]

People having issued recovering are probably not using the green weapon.

Use the green weapon.

Though okay there's some spots where it's a bit bullshit even with it.

Starting to get the hang of it, like dem bullet speeds.

[trap15]

Not an entrant, but yo. Recovering isn't too bad. Hell, you don't really even need to recover if you use Blue. Blue is the best. If you're not using blue, you're playing like a chump. I looped the first loop basically blind just now with it, no-miss. On a keyboard. On a laptop. Don't tell me Hard is hard. It's not. Play smart. Learn enemy behavior. Sweep a lot. It's a Toaplan game, play it like one.

[Aleksei]

I have the opposite experience, I used red until i could get the final form of blue on stage 4, then I had to switch to green because the bosses were timing out. Ironically, I Game overed because I was holding a blue on 2-3 and it is so underpowered in comparison that there was no way to get past the barrage.

So basically, Hard is like the 'Normal' mode of the game. Still, it's easy to 1-loop the game if you know what weapons you should be using in certain situations.

[trap15]

Max powered blue is actually inferior to the level below it, in my opinion. Try giving that a shot, you'll have no problems with the stages if you just sweep a lot. Bosses might time out, but who cares, they're not worth that many points and aren't really that hard.

So basically, Hard is like the 'Normal' mode of the game. Still, it's easy to 1-loop the game if you know what weapons you should be using in certain situations.

Yes exactly

[Yazphier]

I would peronally agree that some of these checkpoints are a hell to recover from, but, I havn't seen any that doesn't appear to be possible, and most even without using bombs

now, I havn't actually managed to reach the final stage, so might be some too damn stupid ones over there, but i agree, just knowing what weapon to use when, makes a whole lot.

However, dying can sometimes mess up when you get the possibility to change your weapon which, can be quite frustrating (I'm mainly using blue, but green is really awesome in some cases, havn't experimented with using highpowered red anywhere really)

Kennyman666, not really sure what u mean, but recovering with green is really annoying imo, but then first upgrade of green is easily worth not switching weapon....

[nasty_wolverine]

ranking table updated, let me know if i have missed anything.

Fuck planes curving in after already passing the bottom of the screen. Otherwise, delicious little game to pass the time. Unfortunately time is not something I have a lot of, I'll be surprised if I can get much of a better score than this one in the next ~48 hours.

Is there no thread to vote for the week 4 game yet?
