STGT'11 Week 3: 1944: The Loop Master

[Despatche]

I don't get the gold bonus however, so would appreciate any explanation? Why only some stages?

The fifteen stages seem to be split into "groups" of their own, the end of these marked by landing strips. The game isn't really long in total time, so this works fairly well. I haven't started playing this yet (for the week), but I remember these "groups" being something like 2/3/2/3/2/3 (stages for each). The stage select seems to indicate this as well.

i picked up some little guy-shaped powerup and it said Shot Level Increased or something like that... what was it? i didn't get a good look.

The bosses are kind of bullshit.

You really have to take the time to dissect and analyze them. Then, you begin to realize that they are actually quite simple.

Gotta work on avoiding those silly hits. I haven't really been doing that many runs, so it's nice to be making solid progress. Will get stuck into this properly over the weekend.

The left tank (st 4 boss) can be annoying as it sometimes shoots a single laser when you start fighting it. Its always when ive got full health aswell

Once I realized how essential the charge shot is, I started to enjoy it a lot more. I know I can do a lot better. I hope to play more this weekend but my real life is pretty busy at this moment.
