I'm gonna explain this game's weapon system and scoring tricks
A.Weapon system
1.You have standard shot which is upgradable from 1st level to 6th level, First level is single shot, Second level is dual shot, Third level powered up dual shot, Fourth level has Powered-up Dual shot with Single rear shot, Fifth level has powered up shots like that \ | / plus rear shot, Last level of standard shot
has forward shot like that \ | / and rear shots like that / \
2.You have blaster weapon which is close-range laser weapon it's more powerful than last level standard shot it can be useful in easier taking out harder enemies, mid-bosses and it can be used against bosses but it's risky
B.Scoring mechanics
1.If you destroy enemy formation then you will gain bonus from 1000 to 10000 points
2.Yellow Z boxes give you bonus from 500 to 80000 or more points in order to gain those highest Z bonuses you must chain them(Destroying all z boxes will give you highest bonus)
3.If you destroy mid-boss you will gain additional points like 50,000 points
4.Dollar boxes can give you 1000 points per one if you destroy them
5.Milking bosses can give you many points if you're score maniac
6.Sometimes enemy are dropping blue triangle gems which only can give you 100 points
7.If you want to gain extends then score maximally because 100,000 500,000 and 1,000,000 can give you extend, you can find extend boxes in stage 4 and 8
that's all because writing and explaing all stages would take me forever
(MOD NOTE: The thread was originally titled "ST" but since it doesn't qualify as such (incomplete and inaccurate info, etc) it has been changed to GD in hopes that a proper ST will rise from it one day -Ghegs)
