DEATHSMILES - Hi-Scores

[ZenErik]

Figured out a few scoring tricks but just missed the 1CC. Ugh. I was on the final form of the final boss. No bombs didn't help.

Was able to get the first extend by the end of level 2 and the second extend at the end of level 6.. If there were an auto bomb option I would have probably 1CC'd, but I guess no auto bomb is a good thing in this particular game. Not the toughest shmup out there.

BTW, is anyone else playing the first press Japanese release? It seems my high scores are randomly disappearing. Perhaps I will try uninstalling the game and reinstalling. Weird...

[ZenErik]

This run was going pretty well until I maybe tried too hard on stage 7... Woops. Still, my highest score yet.

Sorry for the quadruple post. But I just got the all clear. Yay for 1CC. My score needs a lot of improvement, but it still feels good getting the 1CC because I haven't played shmups much for probably 3+ months.

Took probably 6 - 7 hours of play time. Eeesch. Luckily I had yesterday and today off.

jeez congrats Erik! That's some quick progress.

(What's the diff between 1CC and ALL?)

just bought this brand new for $25. a deal i couldn't pass up when i saw it. excited to see what all the fuss is about.

wow. game is a lot different than the 16-bit shooter style.

what do the levels mean in arcade mode? level 1, 2, and 3? is it similar to the thunder force series where you can pick the order of the levels? or does it have to do with scoring? instructions don't give a whole lot to work with.

Thanks. Now to improve my score. And do the extra stage.

In a typical high score table I guess it'd be the same because you are typically allowed only one credit on a scoring run. 1CC = 1 credit clear. ALL = all clear.

You'll notice in DeathSmiles that it says "Continue: 0" in the scoring. So you may be able to get an all clear in the game while using as many continues as you would like.

Congrats, ZenErik! That is badass!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't ALL just is just the game's way of saying a 1CC. 1CC is just a term used by players.

//edit
You beat me to it, but your explanation makes more sense anyway.

[EllertMichael]

1CC = 1 credit clear. ALL = all clear.

that's right. and if the game loops then it's a 1-ALL or 2-ALL.
or 2-1 if say you died in the first stage of the 2nd loop.
