Excellent run up until the stage 4 boss[es].

What weapon do people usually stick to? I switch between Red and Green, but on a rare occasion, Blue doesn't do too terrible for non-boss segments.

I tend to stick with red the whole time, because the spread coverage becomes decent while still maintaining good forward coverage. I can't play using any of the other weapons.

Blue is typically consideed literally the best weapon, so I pretty much use it exclusively.

Blue is very good, yes. I considered red a few times, but I guess this isn't II.

I guess it's back to some more practice, since I always assumed the lack of forward power in Blue meant large enemies are a nightmare...

EDIT:

In fact, it DOES mean larger enemies (and bosses) are a pain in the ass, but hey, I must have been doing something right.

I promise I won't post another score until I do much better! I like how this game, unlike any modern shmup, just poops out extends for you.

Here's a slight improvement. It may be due to the fact that I actually used the blue weapon for the first time, and I found it to be quite useful.

Here's another improvement. If I can just get a little bit further, I think I can break 1 million points.

MD version
Excellent port by the way, probably one of the most underrated console ports ever released

A half-assed score for this great game. I might try to improve a bit.

Meagre improvement despite playing way too much today = traninee ultimate tiger pilot. Time to knuckle down. <3 how the second half of the game is an evil version of the first. Won't post again before looping.

Might as well post this before the thread is updated. First time no-missing to stage 6, whereupon the stupid popcorn deaths started happening. Slummed it to the stage 8 bosses on a torrent of extend corpses. I'm sure I can crack the loop if I put in some effort, but I'm bad at doing that lately.

Edit: just wanted to say thanks for the updates

no problem, updated again.

never bothered to check how long the game is, gonna assume it's like 250 or 256 parsecs or something.

It's 200. 100 for the normal loop, next 100 for ura side. Then it does a full loop. Silly numbering

From my recent sessions, you could be wrong with the area/loop numbering, i think Despatche could be right

Huh, that's surprising
I'll have to see...
