Just short of Stage 4 due to some slips, but I should be able to at least get there. :p

[Eaglet]

Playing on a laggy monitor sucks. Wish i had the PCB.

Don't know how much more time i'll have to practice this week because of work and my gf getting back home.
Aleksei and Hoamaru; counting on you guys!

Infuriating game this is.

[PAPER/ARTILLERY]

Now that i've got the tech bonus I don't mind posting my crappy score so much. Pretty sure I can improve this quite a bit now I understand medals better.

Edit: Updated score later in thread.

Getting things started.
I'll try to improve this, even though I have mixed feelings about this game.

I know I can improve my score further, but the pain of restarting stage 1 every time I mess up my medals is too much.

coturnixx - 7,574,550 - 3 - Devastator - MAME

FUUUUUUCK!!!!! But it´s coming, i´ll take that tech bonus like a real macho with a non slave ship. If i could only reach this stage with more than zero lives dammit...

No-missed to stage 6 although with a poor score, and then lost all my lives on the big ship before the actual boss even appears. I hate that thing

[Pinehed]

Pinehed - 17,015,770 - 5 - Slave (Judge Spear) - MAME

Spent some time savestate practicing stages 4 - 6 today. At my mediocre skill level everything seems manageable (survival wise) until the final part of sixth boss. If I can string a run together my final score for the week should be 20-21 million with my current route. And the sooner that happens the better, because the whole fucking medal leveling process is really getting on my nerves.

Nice. This run was livestreamed so I have proof!

Just starting out now (a little late, I know). Some of the technical shit this game demands of you borders on anal, but it is what it is, and nothing quite matches that special satisfaction when you actually pull it off.

First "run" after savestate practicing. This game actually seems much easier than I thought. Looking at my score where I died, and considering what the rest of the game can yield if done well, I think this had potential for ~48-49m, so I anticipate at the very least 50m by the end of the week.

edit: omg I just realized you can make the bomb go forward by holding the button!

I'm going out of town momentarily, I won't be back until Sunday. I will attempt to post the next game name at the correct time, but I will keep the score submissions running until I get home. I won't end it early, so get your scores in before the listed deadline for guaranteed acceptance!

Another note: I AM enforcing the replay rule! Top 3 player scores will be required to send me replays or BE DISQUALIFIED. RFA players should upload their replays to XBL. PCB players should try to find some method of capture, but in worst case a picture of your PCB with a timestamp (written on paper or whatever you want) and a picture of your score. Thanks!

Done on stream (twitch/cptransom) with the best/worst music possible. Oh my god that pterodactyl song.

Shaky camera replay OK? I'm from Nigeria.

[Emuser]
