Maybe this will eventually get ported to a console.

oooohkaaay.. my first go on 1.5.. 3billion something and the run ended on the last boss.

there are alot more bullets and theyre alot faster.. thats good.
autobomb and there are plenty of em, id say a good 20 or so.. this just feels wrong, this game in bomber mode is definetly the easiest cave 1CC, on par with mushi arrange for sure.

had one go with the green ship aswell and it seems nice enough..

ill give it a couple more goes tonight but im tired as hell, ill write something about it tomorrow..

what do you mean by twice?

PS2 and 360. Well, not yet to the 360, but it's close.

New (to the best of my knowledge) video of Hibachi in 1.5 is up, if anyone's interested. It only shows the first form, which looks much harder than it was previously. The player misses once.

music is fuckin ace during the last boss there.. some of the best cave have done.

moozooh · Post by **moozooh** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 8:49 pm

Haha, it looks much more lively than the last time. Even a lot more lively, with bullets uncancelable with hypers and like three times denser energy bar. o_0

But this is definitely interesting.

Now that's more like it.

Also where the hell is the TLB? You don't see him emerge from the explosion. I guess now you need to set some other requirement to get the TLB to appear?

The difference between Tsuujou and Ura loops, I believe. Does anyone even know the exact requirements for either?

Also, there's this video on the same site. Shows how to trigger stage 1 secret midboss, but I don't understand the pattern.

MrMonkeyMan · Post by **MrMonkeyMan** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 9:12 pm

I'm pretty sure that's the final boss of the Normal loop. His life bar is ridiculously large, and he's hard as balls. I imagine if you face him on the Ura loop his life bar probably isn't as large and you will face little Hibachi aftewards.

Just guessing though. I've haven't played the Ura loop yet.

And I've been wondering is that the Vocaloid thing singing in that song?

hes used a continue, maybe thats why it doesnt show up?

Why do you think he has?

Possibly because his score ends in a 1.

moozooh · Post by **moozooh** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 10:39 pm

DFK doesn't discriminate. His score ends in a 4 a minute later.

Ah, didn't notice that

Is there a way to turn off the auto-bomb in 1.5? I am extremely annoyed, when I want to redo a run, I simply can't just die 2 extra times...the auto bomb b.s. has to run out which makes me kinda regret this upgrade.

moozooh · Post by **moozooh** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 8:03 am

You mean you want to try reconstructing the run you've made on v1.0 on v1.5? Have you tried just dropping all bombs at the start of the first stage?

hermosaguy · Post by **hermosaguy** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 8:08 am

Yeah, but when you restart you get bombs again...just an overall hassle i guess. I need those extra 30 seconds, as that what constitutes my run! I'm just trying to get the hidden mid bosses...still cant nail it.

Like a hit counter.

Actually I think that's kind of normal, no? It's been out for 3 months or so. It'll probably hover around there for a while.

sven666 · Post by **sven666** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 10:38 am

if anyone cares i started playing "power" mode and finally got far enough to fight all of the hidden mid-bosses yesterday, its a real over-the-top feeling with the ridiculous ammount of bulletcancelling and all that, really cool and the game is very enjoyable.

(also hit 1bil on stage 1 for the first time)

theres a world of difference between the bomb and power modes and to be honest, bomb-mode with the auto-bomb isnt very fun at all.
i quite like the auto-bomb in power mode tho, its just enough to make you take those extra risks.

So can the auto bomb be turned off or is it always on?

its always on, theres no option to turn it off that ive found anyways.

Seems like an odd design choice. I don't understand why they wouldn't atleast give the option of turning it off, unless they somehow designed the game around the autobomb.
