Arcanacra black label

Post by Iaspis »

The new version of Arcanacra is here.
This is now called the "Black Label" version and it's strangely easier than the original version. I finished normal mode easily and got to 1st place in hard mode. On the other hand, I'm stuck at 5th place in the previous version. Must be the fact that you can stock up to 5 bombs now...

Try this link.

It doesn't work for me either unless I have the www in the address.

There seems to be more extra lives or something, or maybe it is all the extra bombs you can stock.

cool, thanks for the info on why it doesn't seem to run

Anyways, extends have always been @ 200k lol. There's just more points available thanks to the 5 bomb stock. Bombs are also much more abundant.

Many enemies only shoot about half of the bullets they did before now. The most notable difference is the stage 5 laser ships. Those things used to laser twice :x

Nice! I like the online replays of the high score leaders. I look forward to the full black label replays.

It's been fine except for one thing. Unfortunately JoyToKey doesn't seem to help with regard to using Shift for lock-on.

Using Shift on the actual keyboard, I can still sweep out enemies with the lock-on, but using a JTK assigned button on the Xbox 360 joystick doesn't work- in that case, I have to not move to bring up the target sight. :?:
Kinect? KIN NOT.

Sorry for the bump... I think the "black screen" is just a weird bug. Click to put coins in, then refresh and voila, it should come up just fine. You'll know you did it right when you see that wire-frame background.

Unfortunately, it likes to ghost my movements, so I often crash into things I shouldn't. Walls, for one.
