Yes, every life you have after you beat the game adds 100,000 points to your score. I project that the maximum score possible in Blast Wind is around 5.1million.

I'd never seen a 1UP fall out of a shield before. Shields drop random stuff when they explode: coins, power-ups, maybe bombs but I don't recall ever seeing a bomb.

But Zeether could be right, it could've just been that I had 49 coins and the coin from the shield turned into a 1UP. Didn't think of that. When I saw the 1UP I thought the shield was just dropping a random 1UP. If THAT was the case, then every game of Blast Wind from here on out was going to revolve around destroying shields and collecting coins. Though had that been the case, Blast Wind's scoring system would have been more a game of luck than anything.

I'll give this one a whirl in the next few days now that my Saturn is back up and running. Been meaning to post in this thread (damn nice game) but I'm waiting to suck a little less at the game. I'll keep you guys posted. :)

Updated.


Come on with that score KingGrind. :)


Also, more folks need to check out the red ship. Definitely an entirely different game there. ;)

Right - I've PM'd JP to see if he's still running this thread (He's been away from forum-land for a while), and if not, I'll sort a new one for us and do the update.

No reply from JP, so for now I've set up a new thread here.

JP - I know you love this game, so if you want this back - it's yours.

Right now I'm updating the new thread.
