Sturmwind Hi-Scores & Discussion Thread

I seriously only played Arcade Mode for a day or so, and then decided to move to Normal until others had the game. So I wasn't making it too far in Arcade.

I've seen 1Up's plenty, but still have not seen a bomb. I'm assuming I'm mistaking bombs for a bullet or something and avoiding it?

I meant are you getting to 4-1/4-2 in normal by starting the run on 1-1?

Played 2 runs last night, not really sure what i'm doing yet, only made stage 3.

Do I want 1,000 - N - L or R ???

Is there a limit to lazer shot? Is there a score benefit to it, or just a natural power benefit?

N, L, R power up those weapons if you collect while using the weapon. Once powered, collect points.

not sure what you mean by "limit". Each weapon has variable stength/angle and might be better in one situation or another.

no I've just been playing Normal a level here and there. Again, my only goal was unlocking stuff. If I'm gonna start from stage 1, then I'll play Arcade.

@Mike:

your weapons are how many hits you can take before losing a life. So say you're using Green and get hit. You lose that weapon. You have 2 hits left (red & blue). So hurry up and collect another green.

You can power up a weapon only if it's equipped. Getting blue or reds when you're using green does nothing.

Each weapon can be powered up x3.

Lazer shot - if you hold too long you actually damage your options.

Kinda like the effect using your overweapon has on your Craws in Thunderforce V? Or is it not as temporary?

2nd boss...i'm lost. Keep getting killed by his arms, is there a trick or do I just need to keep shooting the arms and mouth while dodging (better).

The bombs are a semi transparent bio hazzard sign thingy. It took a few plays before i noticed them. 1Ups are far and few from what i noticed.

I found a really easy way to beat him with no hits, if ya want me to spoil it pm me.

Ignore me. I just realized the L trigger button shoots the other direction, and by releasing your shot, your bullets w/the red weapon will spray upward. I just need to play more and and figure stuff out. I'm slowly getting it. 5th run, stage 3 boss and just over a million, getting better.

It does come with a manual that takes 5 min to read...
