Who choose the games of this week? Looks to me he was drunken. Where's the good doujins like Tumiki Fighters, Warning Forever, Medicalat and others?

Warning Forever is dumb, you can get the boss to be the same exact thing for many many levels and have it die quicker than 30 seconds getting +30sec in the process per level, and the game doesn't have an end. Tumiki Fighters is a decent game but really aggravating for scoring. I've never played or heard of Medicalat. :-/

I went through a lot of games on that one site that has an enormous listing of doujin shooters. There is a lot of mediocre stuff out there unfortunately. The games selected are good, I think. Not everyone like everything.

Voting is being extended for two more hours (2am EST, 6am GMT). Two games have a one vote difference.

Anyone having trouble getting their gamepad working properly with XED?
Only the 'right' and 'down' directionals work for me, using a logitech gamepad...

Did you try messing around with CONFIG.exe , including changing the keyboard settings?

Yeah, tried changing things around a few times. Everything works except 'up' and 'left'. Pretty bummed.

Try making sure that your controller isn't just broken. If that fails, you can use a program called Joy2Key to make the controller input correspond to the correct keys.

The votes are tallied up in the first post.

Nomltest received 22 votes, Xed received 20 votes, and Uwabami Breakers received 8 votes.

Two Nomltest votes from "Russell M." and "Dave B." (Hanuman?) were disqualified and not counted because either no name was given or a name that wasn't registered in the tournament was given. I think -Bridget- and lgb were the only two who did not give a name with their vote but had voted in previous weeks so I still counted them since I was able to search through e-mails and look who they were.

I will not accept votes without a forum name anymore, whether or not you have voted previously. If you're not part of the tournament, please do not vote. Follow the rules people, it's not that hard.

I'll post the voting reasons thread in a few hours when I wake up.

I'm actually really enjoying this game a lot.

The best part is that, relatively speaking, there isn't much memorization involved =)

shiftace was complaining about the lack of competition a long time ago. I guess he'll finally get his wish.

Random comments on thread:

Doujin that only works on windows = not accessible to everybody = bad idea.

DDP = too popular = grossly unbalanced scores like RayForce but worse

Macs = an OS that some people prefer = has no sexual orientation

Nomltest = whatever, I'll try it tonight = I didn't feel like wasting my time game-testing this week

lol, pwnd. I was starting to get good at it. Broke 3 million just recently.

Anyway, nomltest is also a good game, but it gets awfully hard later on.

Hmm, if we had swapped Uwabami for Lunaria, then Xed would have won from Nomltest and Lunaria splitting the vote.


Edit: BTW you guys killed groobo
PS. I'll hang myself if we end up playing nomlshit this week.

SDA would have done a lot better this week with Xed, and that's even if groobo didn't kill himself.

19XX, or was that a past STGT? At least 19XX has some variety in the scenery.

This...well, I like the music! I like the music! I like the music! I like the music!*

If your definition of "fun" is "the same five goddamn patterns over and over and over and over and over and over and over"
If that's your definition of fun then you're fucking weird.
