Nice one.

I'm also going to come back to Axelay very soon as I don't have enough time these days for complex bullet hell or score shooters whatsoever. The Axelay 3-ALL shouldn't last too long on the other hand.

I wish they had done that AXELAY2

Totally!

Congrats though for the Clear, unfortunately you missed the top spot by only 120 points!
But how in the world did you No Miss that last loop? Incredible feat!

Finally got to finish the 3rd loop, in true 60 Hz fashion and all...
Too bad I couldn't get a little closer to the top scores, but hey, really happy with this.

Congrats!

Fantastic achievement, my friend!
Congratulations!!

Nice! Damn, I miss this game...

Must buy SFC soon...

Thanks guys, and go for it, Carmen!



Yep, too bad... they should have put that phrase into the standard ending so that there wouldn't have been any excuses.

Mediocre score, but I am glad nonetheless. Turned out to be much more exciting than I had expected.

Nice, congrats!

Wouldn't have expected you to play all the way through it (not because of skill but I thought you don't like the game enough to care for the ALL).
The last loop is indeed very exciting. I had lots of harsh Game Overs (especially in stage 4 and 6) before it all turned out surprisingly well in my own Allclear run.

I just cleared this game starting on hard and clearing both loops. I think starting on normal is a bit too easy, plus the time I did play through on normal the game fucking crashed on the stage 3-1 boss, so I decided to play on hard instead from then on.

Unfortunately this game also has a broken scoring system (like almost every SNES shmup), the final boss can be milked indefinately. It's not foolproof, but you can amass a rediculous number of points if you spend the time on it. I probably farmed around 100K extra points for around 10 minutes, but could have easily continued for much, much longer as I had a ton of extra lives left.

Anyway, I will post the video when it's uploaded.

Here's my 2-ALL run on hard: Video

Not really a high score update, but after six+ years I've finally picked this game up again!



Man I am blown away by the graphical detail in the game, like how the Axelay ship has different sprites for moving forward and backwards. Forgot how many setpieces occur in the last stage...

Didn't do much in the way of milking (at least not on purpose), I'm surprisingly maladroit/unlucky with it in this game in any case. I will confess that I enjoy Axelay a fraction more every time I play it, it's still not among my favourite SFC shmups, but it is very much an essential part of the console's portfolio for me now.
