DEATHSMILES - Hi-Scores

[Whatever]

Nice score! It took me a long time to break 20 million. We should probably stick to the arcade mode so there's no scoring advantage. The 360 sprites look much better though.

I'll keep my high scores to arcade mode then. I did the first stage on 2, then the volcano on 3. I scored about 21 million on the volcano stage. I died out on the next stage which was the forest.

I had a heads up on the scoring before I played it. I ordered the game from gamestop, which took a week to get in. In the meantime I read about the scoring on the net. So that helped me out starting off. Otherwise I'd have been clueless if I popped this game in and started playing it.

Was playing some more on Sunday, new score.

36,739,092 Whatever 3-1 Rosa Arcade-ex off

Oh man, I gotta start playing this. Nice score! It's going to take me a while to get anywhere near 30 mil again.

yup, real solid score - nice job.

I haven't fired this up in awhile...and it might be a longer while - but I will get back at it.

my copy finally came in the mail I was all excited about 7mil till I saw the sick scores you guys threw down, I gotta practice

[noiseredux]

my first attempt got me 12,334,204 though sadly I'm using a 360 pad as my Hori stick didn't arrive today. Like Mike pointed out earlier in the thread, my score doesn't end in 0. Hmmm. At any rate -- OMG. Deathsmiles is amazing. I'm not usually as big a fan of horizontal shmups but this game is mindblowing. I love it already.

Ahhh, so glad you got this dude!

The single digits at the end of your score are earned for bullet-canceling (we've learned).

The level you choose (1, 2 or 3) will vary, depending on if your playing for score, vs a 1CC - or at least it does for me and yes, an amazing game. With your love of the macabre you'll likely have an even greater appreciation

EXACTLY! I didn't know it was like that. So I fired it up and was like "ok, cutesy anime girls killing grim reapers? Awesome!" Haha.

It isn't a very difficult game - until you get to stage 6 boss, he's a bit of a pain.

Then level 7 is very difficult. A bit of a boss rush and you need to get there basically full up on health.

Be sure to concentrate on 1CC or score, not both, or you'll find yourself getting pissed (at least I did, I couldn't decide and i'd change my mind mid-run, and up with neither).

It can be tough to get your chain going, but once you do, the points come a mad hurry.

I have a lot of work to do guys. Is the scoring different on arcade & 360?

[mjmjr25]

Might be, not sure. Thought you got 12 mil yesterday?

I'll play this tonight...
