Good Luck!

thoughts on the iOS port of mushi for this week's competition?

not kidding

Hmm, two things I noticed about the iOS ports that might be too different to make it comparable to the pcb/ports

1) Movement Speed: Your movement is tied directly to your finger movement. So, you can move at any speed you wish, using either shot type.

2) Collision Detection: In every iOS port I've played, if you are trapped in a corner, and you move your finger as quickly as possible through the mass of bullets, you will make it through more often than not. I'm not sure if I've always just been super lucky, or if the game can't pickup on a collision that is happening for such a short period of time.

I know that the first time I ever played DDP Res was on the iOS port, and I cleared the first loop in that same run. Since then, I've probably put 30-40 runs into the port/mame versions, and have not been able to get a clear

i know DDP:R isn't arcade equivalent, but Mushi is supposed to be...

Ah okay, I haven't played Mushi, so that could be true!

How does the movement speed thing work? Does your character move at the same speed as your touch, or does she move towards it at the normal rate she should move at in the original game?

Edit: So, how does this work. You pick between these:

Novice
Normal
Hard
Hell

And then you pick:

Original
Maniac
Ultra

That first bracket of options is not present in the arcade. Is "Normal" supposed to be what replicates the pcb?

I know a lot of these games were dumbed down for home release. I thought the harder modes mirrored the pcb?

I'm playing with it. Normal is far easier than the PS2 Arcade/Orginal mode which is ~PCB. Less bullets, for one.

Will check the others. The movement speed thing is a thing, though.

[EllertMichael]

super speed + autobomb = not comparable.

[dsheinem]

super speed + autobomb = not comparable.

yeah, can't turn that auto bomb off it seems. Hell mode is more intense than the default PCB settings though

A fun way to practice on the go, at least!

3 hours away from monitor rotate and hitting this up. Feel the excite. Electric in the air.
