Alright, time to pass over the torch for those Allumer shmups. Unlike Zing Zing Zip, this one is actually very excellent, I recommend checking it out. The old thread can be found here. I'll just keep the old submission format (Name - Score - Stage - Format - Autofire) for this one, the usual rules apply (fulls defaults, one credit only etc.). Let's get some scores going!

Code: Select all

    Name              Score        Stage    Format    Autofire

Unfortunately died on the 2-3 boss which irrevocably ruined a 10m+ score, but other than that I'm very content. I got the best power-up cycle I've ever seen and also some stunning dodges (killed the 2-4 boss with just one bomb!). Thanks to TomuS for his score, gave me the incentive to put in a bit more time & effort.

For future players: you can easily avoid the final boss' spread fire by moving to the top corner of the screen. Destroy all the guns firing aimed bullets, move to the corner and dodge the blue bullets until you time out.
