Alas, it may be one of the best console-exclusive PCE games, the scoring is not inordinately solid. Every stage has a hidden bonus stage you can access in order to obtain a piece of a scroll/map. These bonus stages loop forever until you reveal the shrewd raccoon residing there, meaning that you can milk for points (most assuredly not on purpose the first time around) as you please.
I'm not unduly concerned, though, the game is so charming you could never seriously complain about it, it's even cuter than Hacha Mecha Fighter. It should also be stressed that the gameplay itself is astoundingly solid, the balance between using the regular shots with the trailing little tengus and the charge shot is especially noteworthy.
If you manage to collect all the different pieces of said scroll/map, you also receive a better ending. I'm just going to denote that as an ALL+, I furthermore will prioritize these over regular clears for the rankings to give a small incentive. Not that I expect much activity, but still!
Thus, the format:
Player - Score - Stage
Normal
Code: Select all
Name Score Stage
1. Perikles 642,100 ALL+
2.
3.
