Ok, may as well put one on (bottom of) the board.

What is the (B) (C) etc after the ship names? Does this correspond to button 1,2,3, etc? Which one does what?

I'm not 100% - B,C,S for sure changes your ship color - one or all of them change some bullet colors if you don't like the pink bullets.

I think this is it - someone correct me.

If you hit A to select your ship: stock everything
If you hit B: stronger bomb
If you hit C: stronger regular shot
If you hit Start: stronger power shot

Since you can quickly power everything up - I think it's pretty negligible. I haven't really noticed one better than the other so have been rotating.

You got it working, nice.

Pressing a button to select a ship gives it a power boost like so -

[Shot or A button] = powers up main shot
[Bomb or B button] = powers up bomb
[Option or C button] = powers up side shot (not your options, but your secondary shot)
[Start button] = speeds up ship

and that's why the select-button used should be posted with your score.

getting closer to that extend...

[mjmjr25]

Anyone know how to access the (2) extra ships (Blade Owl and whatever the other is?)

I have the unlimited version PCB - but only 7 ships are available...

[Nyukki]

Did a few runs last night, got close to my top score by round four, so technically I'm improving, just not making it as far. Still, not giving up!
