Just for that, you can't be on Team INFINITE FLAMINGOES next year.

you know, until this run, i was thinking "the instant STGT's over or i get 4M i'm totally quitting this game. i'll play ibara until i letter/clear or something, then go straight to buttrider." but this game is pretty fucking fun once you get past the tedium of 1 and 2. shame i haven't had much time to play it at all. this is like a 2.5 hour-in-total venture right here =/

I can see why people may like this game, but for me it is pretty frustrating.
I am missing the "next try I'll beat my highscore again"-motivation I get from most other shmups.
Esspecially the flamingoes and that stage's boss tricks kills my motivation here.
There is no step by step progression in this game for me. I feel forced to learn strange scoring / rank control -tricks in order to archieve a new highscore. Instead of getting intuitively better by just playing the game. This concept of game design may be the holy grail to some, but for me it kills the game.

You still get intuitively better by playing the game, and there really aren't all that many secrets and tricks to keep track of in the first 5 stages. There are little parts that are hard to execute, but those exist in every game.

Also, what strange rank control tricks are you talking about?

Screwed up medals at the stage 4 boss. Meh. Think I might be done with this game as any improvement would take a lot more time and effort as I haven't practiced anything past Plant. Ah well.

First time playing in a few days. I decided to not try to milk the first boss and ended up getting more points from flamingoes than I had at any point before. Still died at Mad Ball, though, which sucks.
