Re: STGT'12 Week 3: Salamander 2
The stage itself is relatively easy and you should make it to the boss with 4 full options intact. The core boss itself is actually not much of a threat - the real issue is the popcorn enemy that appears to shoot at you (or make you accidentally grab a speedup, etc). If you're in the lower right corner when it opens its arms you won't get smacked, then it's just a matter of moving round it not getting hit by the arms or shot by the popcorn. It's possible to kill it before it opens by planting an option or two directly on the core, but this is rather tricky.TenshiP wrote:TenshiP - 227100 - 1-4 - Shmupmame 2.2

Alternately, if you want it done speedier, you can deal a bunch of damage to it by getting close to the center and using seed bombs on it (option bombs tend to be inaccurate for some reason). Fastest way to get a bunch of seeds floating around is to dump all your full options at once.

Second time getting to 1-6. Decided to credit feed it after to see what the rest of the stage was like. It's pretty tough. I really need to stop screwing up on early stages if I wish to clear.

ugh so close to hitting 200k. Certainly not a huge accomplishment to most of you but I'm glad I'm improving each day.

This game runs much smoother on the Playstation emulator than on MAME, particularly on a Mac. Still haven't killed Brain Golem.

After figuring out how to trigger the 3rd ship on stage 4, I completely go blank on a run of course. Also, crappy stage 3 milking
