Try setting your OS clock timezone to Japan - it's even harder!

It was actually "Boots Randolph" who wrote Yakkity Sax, ( along with James Q. "Spider" Rich ) & recorded it in 1963.

It was indeed the theme for the late, great Benny Hill.

I remember my Dad listening to this.

The 1st coupla hundered times was ok but after that...

3. Score: 2
4. Score: 1
5. Score: 1
6. Score: 1

Completely made my day. Even if the best I can get is a 1.

Benny Hill rocks, even more than Monty Python sometimes.

Damn, and I thought Ikaruga was hard. I can get an occasional 1 when the game takes pity and gives me an easy pattern.

This games's a nice comment on the state of modern shmups...

Wooo, I got a 1!

I can't stop playing it, the whole music and laughing just intrigues me.

All right! 1 point!

I too got 1 few times when I got an easy one for some reason... After being crapped upon dozens of times.

I nearly had a possibility for 2 when I got two merciful ones in a row...

then I managed to screw up the second one

No, really, I got two passable patterns in a row. It might be that the game decided that I'm that shitty a player.

THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS NOT TO PLAY

i had fun though =)

Just discovered this..

Which is the bomb button?

null1024 · Post by **null1024** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 12:24 am

How the hell do you score [original]?

EDIT: figured it out after a really easy pattern came.

PS: man, this is like Mars Matrix [100s of bullets!] and Dangun Feveron [fast as hell bullets] and Ikaruga [obvious] mashed up into a shmup that makes you want to sell your soul for the skills to get 1000 points.

EDIT2: Heh, the "Death" label version is actually playable [yay slowdown on a 1.8 GHz machine!]. I got 200pts tops.

EDIT123981: Woo, got 501!

worstplay:

please make a version with a slightly smaller hitbox and a "slow" button.

this would make it GREAT.

Momijitsuki · Post by **Momijitsuki** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 1:20 am

480 for me.

Here.Smaller (and visible) hitbox, slow button, clearer sprites. Of course this would make it too easy so I made rank increase faster.

Momijitsuki · Post by **Momijitsuki** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 12:18 pm

720 on the + version.

sikraiken · Post by **sikraiken** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 1:27 pm

11,722 on the + version. My ship just starts to go up/left for no reason at all after a while, it happened twice. + version is too easy, regular death label is better.

Edit: Oh, I didn't even use/realize that the + version had a slow down button, haha.

What is the "slow" key?
