No idea what the etiquette is for like, which thread to post in. My laptop is standing sideways on my coffee table and Iām playing this game really loud. I think I got real close to beating stage 4. I submitted my major project for the end of my degree a few days ago and it was all about the colour orangeā¦ Now this is the first game I play after that. Real weird

Good to know!
On the skull boss . I revisited it last night to see why the non-shooters had such a problem with it. I beat it in one life and well the advice seems condescending (all advice for a shooter seems condescending). You need to accept and know you just canāt hit the boss for a while as you navigate the giant bullets. Like donāt even pay attention to the boss at that point just concentrate on staying alive.
Yeah, that boss isnāt a problem for me, itās the next one that eats all my continues, even if I cheese it with the drill.
can someone tell me what to do at the end of version 2 of level 3ā¦
what happened the first time?
I just got to the true final boss and had a bad time. I had only one life left and no continues at that point. I didnāt know what to do and died immediately. The game deleted my save entirely and now I have to fight my way back there. Itās not totally inexcusable since itās a shmup and meant to be replayed anyway, but that is still total bullshit.
THEY TOLD YOU THE STAKES DOG. It was a one way trip. They made sure you were okay with it.
And you uhhh lost all your continues and lives anyways when the trip happened. You literally had one try no matter what.
I did this last night and failed and it was incredible.
Canāt wait to try again soon
While the stakes were clear, I felt it was a bit unfair to throw me into almost certain failure, considering it gives you a whole new āshipā and totally different way to deal damage. I spent about 10 seconds trying to figure out how to shoot before getting game over.
The game is still fantastic, I just felt that bit could have been done better. I do plan to get back there some time soon.

Iāve been playing the demo on my lunch break this week and Iām having a hard time with the contrast between orange bullets and prominently orange backgrounds (like the bit with the Mushihimesama powerups right before the demo stage 1 boss). I love the aesthetic the game is going for but the lack of contrast for these kinds of sections is really throwing me off, and deaths in those sections feel unfair because it isnāt that the patterns are hard to dodge or anything but just that I canāt see the bullets well enough to dodge them. Does the full version of the game have high-contrast accessibility settings or do I just have to get used to it? Are there even enough of these sections in the full game for it to be an issue?

Thereās a colorblind mode
But this isnāt an issue a colorblind filter would fix. The problem isnāt that I canāt tell the colors apart, itās that theyāre the same color.
yeah I tried the filter and it did not fix this problem for me
Strange, I donāt have that problemā¦
