odd challenge; 2p escort...

Post by kemical »

so Ive been screwing around with Raiden, and earlier I accidentally started a game with two players, I tried escorting and protecting the other ship (without controlling it) It ia bit of a challenge, causes more pressure to remember the exact positions enemies come from, destroying them as fast as possible.
So far I've been able to escort the other player unhit to stage 2, and it seems to be training me a bit more at the same time.

Anyone else tried this before with other games?

the only way to make the 2nd player survive the first boss is to bomb the hell out of the bosses right?

It's an interesting idea. Might work better in a game where you have a defensive unit (like Xexex), though.

I'd rather play with my wife. It's more challenging because she'll actively move towards bullets. ;)
