*another sucker who paid $40*

The pity is both strong reviews and a solid effort from the developer apparently wasn't worth shit.

*sighs*

I happened to be at Best Buy just last week, and the game was selling for $40. That's a pretty drastic reduction in just a few days.

Another deal at Best Buy: I found Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution for $1.99! I was happy to get this game again.

Octomania, the newest puzzle game from Compile (Compile Heart, to be exact) was also only 10 bucks.

Man, Blast Works has some really cruddy music...

Really. I wish they would have allowed people to upload their own music from an SD card.

I think the music is simple, and campy by design... Though, when looking at the level of customization provided everywhere else in the game, it's surprising that you can't cook up your own soundtrack.

I just bought this from the Best Buy sale and sale but I can't seem to unlock the last two games. I've got Tumiki Fighters and rrootage but does anyone know how to get the other two?

Overall, the game is getting me back into shmups, single-handedly. I never really left but I haven't been playing them a whole lot. The last one I put a ton of time into was Raiden III when that released in the US.

Torus Trooper: Complete the third campaign on Pilot difficulty.
Gunroar: Complete fourth campaign on Pilot difficulty.

There are plenty of other unlockables in the game, but as far as I know, these are the only playable games. The rest are "cheats" and "extras."

Ok, thanks a ton. That'll keep me playing even longer!

The levels are simply too long.

I just beat the Arcade mode on Easy. It reminded me why I skipped it for Normal when I first opened the game up. It was stupidly easy, and I sucked at most every shmup game I've played so far. I'm really suprised that this image didn't show up while I was playing.

On the up side, I got rRootage...

Yea, these levels are too long and boring, and there are too many of them. I tried unlocking the other two games but gave up after being frustrated with the 2nd and 3rd Campaigns. I can't take a hard game that has terrible levels and gameplay. I think this has been mentioned but I wish there was a way to play with no attachments. I seem to do much better when I've just got me and my ship.
