Coming from someone who never tried the games by this company, the last few stages were a pleasant surprise. Too bad I suck ass at this system because I have no prior experience with it. At least there's no chaining. A little wary of the scores above the ones made by TC, especially Mahina with her handicap, but what's to say someone didn't discover an awesome gamebreaking trick.

1.12 - Easy
Heartbeam - 8,863,366 - ALL - Rigurigu - 59 - ON

1.12 - Easy
Heartbeam - 10,271,203 - ALL - Nokundhi - 59 - ON

1.12 - Normal
Heartbeam - 18,551,573 - ALL - Rigurigu - 59 - ON

1.12 - Normal
Heartbeam - 5,526,026 - ALL - Mahina - 59 - OFF

1.12 - Normal
Heartbeam - 21,741,833 - ALL - Nokundhi - 57 - ON

1.12 - Normal
Heartbeam - 27,235,129 - ALL - Tsukuyu - 59 - ON

1.12 - Hard
Heartbeam - 16,136,029 - ALL - Nokundhi - 59 - OFF

Then the others have to be done again because I didn't know there was a reset button for just the scores. Probably since the online table will only take the highest. Hopefully I'll soon figure out the location of the hitbox so I can quit running sideways into bullets that I thought already cleared the character. Tsukuyu may be a scoring badass, but I still prefer Nokundhi (not because she's flatter...really).

P.S. This run sucked but I hit the bare minimum goal. On hold along with the other shot types and moving on to PCB Normal.

I voted this game and so I play it again.

So can someone quickly explain the scoring?
I've got that destroying enemies cancels bullets for gold but that's as far as I've got
There's something very satisfying about those "cataracts of stars" to use someone else's quote about Crimzon Clover!

Listing

• Grazing bullets builds up your bomb gauge (first bar at right side of the screen). Filling the bar to max will give you one bomb, and if your bomb stock is full, you get 20K bonus instead.
• Also grazing bullets builds your graze gauge (second bar at right side of the screen) up to 255x (1000x in 1.03), so cancelled bullets worth more.
• Destroying enemies optional parts before their core.
• Chain Medalling. Medals will fly toward the character if shooting unfocused/not shooting. Up to crab value.
• End stage bonuses. No bomb the stage will net 500K! 10K for each life stock and 5K for each bomb in stock.

Hope this helps!

At least there's no chaining.

I mean, enemy chaining.
