Pink Sweets ~ Ibara Sorekara (arcade)
I'm really digging this game, as well as the soundtrack! Haven't made it past the 3'rd boss, but then again I'm heading in at maximum rank by not dropping any medals and completely dismanteling the previous level 1 & 2 bosses. I'm sure there can be a lot more leeching on the mid-bosses, and I'd bet this is exactly what they will show in a real superplay.

Finally made it to stage 4. I never dropped a medal during this entire run. Even no missed up to level 3 boss and was surprised by an extra extend on her final bombing sequence....then died on her very last bomb. Went into stage 4 with nothing, and lost my 3 remaining ships in about 2 minutes....but did make it to the snakes.

i've worked out how to improve my speed on score attack, and think i'm starting to make some progress...
but the section after the 2nd midboss is pretty tough as you have the snake-style enemies from stage 4 coupled with enemies who fire instant-lasers-of-death . and then there's a section where the screen is full of enemies and bullets, literally...! but i managed to hit the 2nd extend during the snake section with new slightly faster patterns, missed a few medals through deaths. reached the third midboss, took the bastard down but dropped the medal chain . killed him with 46 seconds on the clock, and bocked out shortly after.

but the sections after the third midboss have a lot of enemies that all drop medals if bombed, so if i'd have kept the medals at 10k, i would've needed 60+ medals in 46 seconds to get another extend, which i think is possible...

There is a regular 1up if you let the two tanks collide (before the midboss), and at least one more if you can destroy enough bullets and background enemys.
the 5 mio was not so hard but at the moment im at a pointVery impressive firestorm, from 2.8M to > 5M in just 6 days?! Shocked
where i dont know how to handle the ranking i stage 5.
confirm only ranking save isCan you confirm your default settings?
on
if i have a good turn 0 lifes i dont take them at the momentHow many extends are you getting in stage 3?
but if i would take them i get 2
one from the tank.
2. by trigger the enemies
yes, i also tried to pick up no medal butthe ranking rises alsoI assume you are medaling the entire run with that score?
and without medals there are 500k- 1 mio missing
scores by stage
stage 1 450k-600k
stage 2 1.5-1.8 mio
stage 3 2.7-3.2 mio
stage 4 4.6-5 mio
Thanks for the response firestorm. Those end of stage Lace scores look similar to mine, of course I'm barely getting half way through stage 4 with ~4M. I'll have to try missing the 1ups to see if that makes the rank any less harsh in stage 4, its just too much for me to handle at the moment. I'll have to start playing this again soon.
i like the game very much but i hate it when i dont get feedback from the game.
No boss energy bar
no Ranking information.
aslo im wondering why the game has so much heavy slowdowns.
i level 4 when the snakes and the trais are coming somtimes its imossible to see if its already destroyed or still moving.
also when im diyng during a boss fight
its like the same like game over.
with no option and a tiny shot - thats not big fun
