Fortunately you dont have to click the fire button every time you shoot in this game or my hand would have craped within the first minute.

I dunno if anyone is interested (I get the feeling most of you guys aren't too keen on this game), but I finally got around to uploading some youtube vids of this game, complete with silly annotations.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

I know what you mean about the swinging of the drone ships being distracting. There was a while there when it felt almost like the bloody things were hypnotising me, swinging to and fro... you are gettink zleeepy!

But once you get into the rhythm of them, it becomes more fun/natural... like I say, sometimes it feels like you're slowly punching your way through a crowd.

And as you start to learn the attack waves, you get a better feel for which ones are prime targets for your drones. There are a number of enemies that only shoot horizontally (or restrict their bullets to horizontal fire if there are already a lot of sprites on-screen, probably to avoid taxing the multiplexor), which makes them a great candidate for a swift clobbering.

Got a bit further tonight, I think my joystick (Competition Pro USB) is a bit too stiff (no jokes) since my hand cramps a bit from moving the stick around.

Stuck on the level 4 boss - three times in a row actually. Strange, first time i got there i did beat him (but had bullets of regular enemies turned off).



This is my last score for this round. I will be off for holidays tomorrow. It's a pity because i think i can beat the game but without competition i just can't face it...

Wow, I totally suck at this game!

An improved score now, arriving to the second level boss. I think I´ll be unable to improve a lot this score, the game is proving really difficult to me!

I'm pretty sure this will be my final score due to my schedule this weekend.

As with Drelbs, I've had a very enjoyable but infuriating time with this game. My gratitude goes out to those who voted this game in.

This game becomes easier if:
1. You use the drone ship as an extra weapon (as shown in loflo's video)
2. You press fire all the time, which works like an autofire switch.

After a ridiculous amount of efforts, I made it to level 4.

To my surprise, what I thought was a tasteless game, becomes an addictive blast with the techniques I mentioned in my previous post.

This game didn't make me want to make the time to play it this month, but I thought I ought to at least put up a score that got me past level 1....

Might have time for another go or two before the deadline.

There might have been mixed reviews about the game, but we had a good turnout in the competition this month!

It is getting interesting in level 3, the boss did me in however:

Sigh. Level 2 boss keeps beating me, whatever it's meant to be.

thx to loflo for the great videos. They were quiet inspiring. First thought this game ist to hard, but with a little training an the hints from loflo, you can make it til the end.
ALthough, this game will never populate my hitlists.
