Shmup of the Month Club 2014 (Completed)

Looks awesome in RGB on my tate PVM. Definitely makes the saturn shine.

As far as the lock system, you know you can only lock on to certain things right? usually the ones in the lower layer of play if that makes sense, hence the name "layer section" in Japan.

Thanks to Doc's good Area 1 score, I went to find out how I can get my best of around 250K even higher. Turns out I can get close to 400K there with a few simple tweaks.

As such, I was also able to get farther as well.

Nice Rufus!

Got a something score after three runs today:

pierrot - 642,000 - Area 3 (Boss) - J-Saturn


Was doing really well (no deaths) on this run until I got to stage 3. That first little mini-boss is nuts. I also somehow got a score of 325,000 after stage 1 on a different run, and I have no idea how. (From reading through this thread, it sounded like that wasn't normal, anyway.)

There's something to be said about a shmup of the time that went from space to a planet, in terms of stage progression.

That's really cool for sure. Very unusual in the fact that the areas are totally free flowing with one stage going right to the next in between instead of just going from different screen to different screen, it feels more put together that way. The graphic transitions are also nice.

Indeed. In a way, I think it feels kind of like the stories in the Genesis Sonic games, where there's clearly a narrative, but it's not being told through exposition.

I thought there was a high score table if I let the game sit. I guess there isn't? I waited. Next time I'll take a pic of the name entry screen.

Edit: never mind. I saw the high score table during a demo but I reset the game and my score didn't save. >:(

[ExedExes]

I found from the original score thread we had for this, it's just a better idea to screenshot at the "Enter Your Intials" screen.
