different weapons are for different enemies/bosses. the key is figuring out the best weapon for the job. the sword absorbs the round pink bullets and fills your energy meter, allowing for a massive sword attack which renders you invincible for a moment. the navigation is some of the most stressful, exhilarating, and ultimately rewarding gameplay ever. it literally squeezes sound out of me.the7k wrote: You have a red, blue and yellow shot. There are red, blue and yellow enemies. Do I shoot them with the same color, or is there a rock-paper-scissors thing going on? I can't tell.
If I hold two attack buttons at the same time, I use another type of shot depending on the buttons held in combination. What is this shots purpose?
I have this sword that I activate by holding all three buttons at the same time. It doesn't do squat for damage and it rarely deflects bullets. What's the point?
There were parts where you had to navigate extremely narrow corridors 100% filled with turrets. Even with me using my diagonal shot, I still found it quite impossible to get through this area without dying.
I remember there was this one boss that I fought for what seemed like forever. He'd spam beams, shots and what looked like a torrent of magma all over the place, and if I somehow evaded this, parts of his ship would separate and attack me from behind. I tried shooting him with every shot and combination of shot, and it never seemed to do much. I was seriously at a lose for what I was supposed to do.
After running out of credits, I just gave up. I like shmups, but not enough to metaphorically bang my head into the desk over and over again until it starts feeling good.
I think I know the boss you're talking about. that little pal of his sucks. I try and bomb him from the side but you gotta be quick. then zap that bitch with electricity.
