At least you can only lose one stage at a time here. And this game is so good. Guwange, less good.

But your multiplier stays with you even after the stage ends. So screwing up early would reduce your multiplier for the rest of the game, yes? Or is this insignificant once you become a competent player (something I won't achieve before the end of the week)?

Depending on your target score, you might be able to make it up by getting better mult in later stages. The more runs you can make for say, stage 4, the higher chance of getting good multiplier on one of those runs.

I mean Guwange will take the entire multiplier away while in Giga Wing only a single stage will be chipped away. It does damage for the entire game, but if you are a beginner or intermediate player you might only have to focus on doing well on the first few stages or plan to make it back on four and five. It's only a problem if you have all of the stages down. I wouldn't have a chance of beating my old high school if I botched level 2, but shouldn't be much of a worry with finishing this week at a decent 10-20,000,000,000,000.

I thought I was rubbish at scoring at this game, but looking at the average of the posts so far, I am not doing that bad.

I don't know my exactly score (I noted at home, but I was too tired to come here and post it), but I reached stage 5 with an red 8 score. And this was with just a few hours of practice. When the weekend reaches and I can give this some proper time. WHOOOSH, expect a 50 trillion score for me.

Yeah, surely

The Dreamcast version feels off pace since the music is slower and stuff. I keep backing into single bullets too. I think I'm going back to MAME.

I noticed the multiplier "additive" goes back to 0 when dying.
Is there any penalty applied to bombing I didn't notice ?

I like how, when I've no more bombs, I randomly passed through patterns. The hitbox is smaller than I thought, after all...

ADVICE OF MACAW:

Everyone stop playing this and play Hellsinker instead.

shoe-sama · Post by **shoe-sama** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 5:34 am

Macaw · Post by **Macaw** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 5:37 am

Spirits is infinitely cooler.

shoe-sama · Post by **shoe-sama** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 5:47 am

Can you score a trillion points in Hellsinker? If not, then I'm not playing.

Is it easy to break?
