Nice replay. Why didn't you use the booster inside the ring enemy, though? Man, I'm not using the booster as much as I should be though! I had my suspicion about that green enemy but I never compared points from shooting the missiles to speedkilling it. Or speedkilling the miniboss.

[Drake]

I actually never thought about using the booster inside the donut, probably because it still seems to die fairly quickly, but at the 2-minute level even a quarter of a second would be useful. As far as speedkilling the midboss goes, I decided to do that only during these 2-minute runs because the time goal is basically to be able to get the first missile milk after the midboss. And for the milk to work you have to be at full power, but speedkilling the boss means you usually lose 3~4 power, and you only get back 2 power before the milk. Losing only 2 power is the goal there.

[LordHypnos]

Okay, try as I may, I can't seem to make it any higher than this

This game is pretty cool. More people should play it.

[LordHypnos]

Mwahahaha! I am the master! At least on this forum. I know more than this is possible, though

EDIT:
might as well include this one, too, though it's hardly top of the board material

I think a little more is possible.

Just grabbed this too:
702,590 winx68k ver 1.0? (the version with the developer logo & credits)

[Despatche]

These were for the Zero games, correct?

trap15 - 1,921,686 - X68000 Red Zone (10MHz), 1994.8.8

Definitely quite a bit more could be done, I got hit a few times and missed a ton of ground blocks that I should've gotten. Also prior to this I've gotten 2m on the slowest speed setting, which is probably a good way to figure out new strats and potential scores.

EDIT:
Zero Rei
trap15 - 2,065,001 - X68000 Red Zone (10MHz), 1994.8.8

That's a lot better, but there are still quite a few points I missed on. 2.2 is definitely possible, probably can go quite far actually. The big ground blocks are worth insane amounts of points.

[mukimuki_rs]

These were for the Zero games, correct?

That's right!
Sorry I forgot to mention.

Great score by Trap15!
Wonder if I can top 2m

Update: Zero Master: 764,200

I think 800k+ is possible...

Edit: Zero Master: 802,620

I think I was wrong on my estimation, or at least you'd have to be really good, but ~2.2 is probably going to be a score-to-beat. Not sure how much further I can push this, I got a really good run out of nowhere.

[mukimuki_rs]

Seems somewhere in the region of 9.5 is possible' just missed it on this run.
Zero Master: 891,720
