Second level got me liking the game a lot more right away though. It's too early to make this judgement really, but this is one of the less impressive Konami shmups I've played thus yet. I'm curious to see what else the game has in store though and will keep playing.

Level 2 - 65,660
This is exactly why I'm hesitant to play it with you guys. :lol:

Bought it myself a few years back and wow, talk about weird.

After dying on the first level a few of times, I finally got the hang of switching weapons. High score so far: 75,840.

And jeez ExedExes is blowing everyone away.

Therefore, my votes
