just beat the princess for the first time and then in the frenzy section after that I died quite a few times and went down to what i assume is the lowest level ship⦠not sure what happens if you dont take hits in that section, let me know if you do
then i had a go at the save-destroying boss and made it maybe 1.5 mins in? it seems pretty easy! thats nice cause idk if i would bother trying to get up to it again if it was super hard
just played through the first loop while always shooting the marbles at the end of the stage so i dont get any extra shots. im at 2-1 now and nothing has happened so far. maybe stage 3 boss will have something or maybe i just wont be able to continue unless i get the blade/drill
Steam seems to say there is nothing to see. Exceptā¦i got a different version of the undertale boss where he told me a story and then after I died I had a special attract mode showing the story of the game.
Iām rly bad at the score stuff in these games so if someone can tell me what happens with bonuses and the orange enemies and how to score extra lives thatād be greatly appreciated xoxo
extends work like any other STG, you get em by scoring
the score counter fills from orange to yellow indicating how close to an extend you are
the first few are really cheap, ex: a decent stage 1 run will get you 3 extends.
scoring is a simple chain multiplier: hit things to increase your multiplier, which maxes out (MAXIMUM) at 6.4x. at a certain point (robotform!) this limit is doubled. The score counter will run down when you arenāt killing things,when you scrape a wall or collide with something, or when you die. the higher your multiplier is, the more quickly it runs down when not killing things, though the difference is pretty small i think.
get the bonus items if you can find them, thereās 3 per stage, i can post the locations of the ones i know about if you like. they are at least worth one extend on their own if you collect all three in a stage.
orange enemies are extras: they appear when you destroy a green enemy wave quickly enough
those ships that reveal a skull-face when you blast them enough: when you do that, the skull will release eight big flower bullets which can be destroyed and have high base value. if you can time it right, these are The Big Score
you can get double the score off of most big enemies if you keep shooting them for about a third of a second after theyāre down: they will flash white when it happens
there are a few secret 1up items hidden about that i know of
NOCODEāS BURNING QUESTION: does this game have a rank system
thank you so much for this. i guess i just assumed the scoring system was more complex than that so i basically ignored it. im definitely gonna try get some scores now!
Iām not 100% sure I love this game. I canāt get past stage 2?? Maybe I just suck.
I mean, I like it more than Iāve liked a shooter in a while but itās not, likeā¦mind-blowing to me. Iāve only played it for about an hour though.
@Rudie@boojiboy7 should I listen to the hinge problems about this game or should I wait like 4 months until I have beaten more of it?
You amass total continues each time you game over based on score so it can be harder at first when you only have 1 or 2 (or none) to work with. When you game over you can just select any stage youāve unlocked to start from with all your powerups and the full allotment of continues youāve earned. Once youāve got around 4-5 youāre pretty set up to grind through each stage as you go so it does get a lot easier in that regard.
