Ok, game is canceled, sorry.

Scoreboards will be wiped, starting anew from here.

The game we will be playing instead is...

ANDRO DUNOS

I will be fixing everything up soon.

[trap15]

Scores for Andro Dunos now accepted.

I have changed the submission format so that I know that you read what game we're actually playing.

btw, this game won't let you play with 2p side, so don't worry about it, players! that was a holdover from galmedes, which did let you.

[coturnixx]

coturnixx - 685,150 - 6 - 1P - MAME

Rust off, this stage was my best back then. It ramps the difficulty quite a bit too.

[iast]

iast - 258,500 - 3 - 1P - ShmupMAME 4.2

It's a start.

[Aleksei]

Couldn't get it to work on shmupmame or regular mame, finally, it worked on MameUI64.

This is a fun game!

By the way, I found a save spot all by myself ( I haven't seen a replay or played this game before today so sorry if this spot is common knowledge for this game). You can fire backwards to destroy the moving pillars and just follow and shoot the blue core! I know the boss isn't hard on the first loop but it might come in handy in the second.



Aleksei - 384,400 - 4 - 1P - MameUI64

[Yazphier]

yay, broke 500...

Yazphier - 511,750 - 5 - 1P - MAME

There´s another safespot for the stage 4 boss (haven´t checked any replays either). Start positioning your ship above the hatch that spams 4 popcorns, and use green lazors to destroy it (careful with the popcorn). After that keep pounding the tank with the lazors in the same place, and make sure you destroy this form when he is in the center of the screen (there´s some leeway, but if it´s destroyed too much to the right you won´t be able to use the safespot).

When the mortar thingy appears, position to the right of it and destroy it with the lazors/backward fire (like in the screen). Those projectiles won´t ever touch you, 100% guaranteed. The tank keeps moving left-right, but if done correctly you always have some distance to the right edge of the screen.

[DocHauser]

Why are people giving away tips to everyone? It's supposed to be a tournament!

(Doesn't matter too much, as both those bosses are really easy anyway.)

[Aleksei]

Stop arguing with your self (x4)

We're friendly here on the shmups forum.

[DocHauser]

Well, I wasn't being entirely serious. Got any tips for the final boss, by the way?

[coturnixx]

Small improvement, but stage 6 is a bitch. That mechanic arm/claw thingy after the spinning spikeball formations is driving me nuts.

coturnixx - 709,290 - 6 - 1P - MAME

[CptRansom]

CptRansom - 402,050 - 4 - 1P - MAME

I don't care.

[wolfman24]

wolfman24 - 92550 - 2 - 1P - MAME

so glad got past stage 1 after dying stupid deaths

[EmperorIng]

EmperorIng - 354,650 - 4 - 1P - shmupmame

A better score is assured as the week rolls on.

You literally don't have to fight the bosses, since your bomb kills them in one or two blasts.

It sucks though that this rom only works in my buggy shmupmame v3, and nothing else.
