NoxHardigan 05-16-20 - 02:52 PM Pretty crazy that the 1st time I played this was today in 2020 and that's what year the game takes place in. Game on!

nguyenminhthien.. 04-14-15 - 01:47 AM Video deathless Run complete.
MeatAndPotatoes 10-17-14 - 01:17 AM I used to call this game, "Fukui-san."
nguyenminhthien.. 05-03-14 - 12:43 AM yeah, jerry but this game so hard than trying again.
jerryaberry 05-02-14 - 12:18 PM Nice nguyenminhthien! Try to beat it over and over like Super Contra XD.
nguyenminhthien.. 02-28-14 - 06:54 AM rcarter2 : i don't know why you don't complete speed run, i think you can do it.
rcarter2 02-25-14 - 01:08 PM Really nice run, nguyen. Props. Sidescrolling shooters never were my forte.
nguyenminhthien.. 02-18-14 - 09:04 AM In stage 2 playing distracting, 4 bosses too subjective. Stage 5 play too bad. just pay attention to the last two stages.
nguyenminhthien.. 02-16-14 - 01:08 AM my video erros... sad...
jerryaberry 02-15-14 - 10:43 AM Awesome nguyenminhthien! Yeah, like Awesome-Kid, I will unlikely beat this game within the time frame of the competition.
nguyenminhthien.. 02-15-14 - 08:05 AM i'm trying stage 7 on 40 minute.
nguyenminhthien.. 02-14-14 - 09:06 AM Oh! Speed run. I'm no had time to beat this game again. Hope rcarter2 and jerryaberry.
UFC 02-14-14 - 01:32 AM i got too annoyed with how long level 2 boss was taking to beat so I gave up, maybe ill tackle it at the end of the month
Awesome-Kid 02-13-14 - 08:20 PM & it is because my computer won't let me submit a video that lasts more than a half hour...... keep going at it you guys!! :)
Awesome-Kid 02-13-14 - 08:19 PM This game will probably take sometime.... if I happen to complete the Speed-Run I probably won't submit it until the competition is over, that is if it takes me more than a half hour
jerryaberry 02-11-14 - 10:39 AM If you die early in level 2, get the forward shooting lazer thing in the middle somewhere than immediately after stay on the very bottom to get quite a few more powerups.
Awesome-Kid 02-03-14 - 05:00 PM Dude level 2 is brutal!!
nguyenminhthien.. 05-25-13 - 11:56 PM thanks jerryaberry.
jerryaberry 05-25-13 - 12:53 PM Awesome nguyenminhthien. Beating this game is pretty hardcore. So much determination and skill required. Congrats!
nguyenminhthien.. 05-25-13 - 12:14 PM yeah............
nguyenminhthien.. 05-25-13 - 11:27 AM finish game .... long time.
dragonslayer444 05-11-13 - 01:04 PM This is not a very good soot em up at all there are far better ones.
rcarter2 01-23-13 - 08:24 AM Won't even try to get the top spot back here :P
rcarter2 01-23-13 - 08:24 AM Haha. Yeah. I am so out of practice with this since the competition. I am good with the score I got.
nguyenminhthien.. 07-06-12 - 08:03 AM thanks jerryaberry, i'm wan't to finish thàgame. Also...:D
jerryaberry 07-05-12 - 02:02 PM Impressive score nguyenminhthien86.
nguyenminhthien.. 07-05-12 - 10:12 AM whew,,, not finish.
nguyenminhthien.. 07-05-12 - 10:11 AM whew,,, not finish.
nguyenminhthien.. 07-05-12 - 10:08 AM whew,,, not finish.
jerryaberry 06-15-12 - 09:44 PM Thanks nguyenminhthien86, needless to say you're pretty good too. Ditto on rcarter2.
nguyenminhthien.. 06-15-12 - 09:09 AM jerryaberry:you are very good.
rcarter2: you are Pro...
nguyenminhthien.. 06-13-12 - 05:01 AM kekeke...
jerryaberry 06-12-12 - 08:53 PM Yeah good one nguyenminhthien86. This could get interesting.
rcarter2 06-12-12 - 12:21 PM Looks like nguyenminhthien86 is getting really close to me.... crap.
rcarter2 06-08-12 - 06:53 PM Thanks David. I hope nobody beats it because I can't see myself having the motivation practicing to do that again. Too hard.
Davideo7 06-05-12 - 03:44 PM Wow rcarter2, amazing!
jerryaberry 06-01-12 - 08:19 PM Well that's good to hear. I can normally only dodge the first 3 lasers.
rcarter2 06-01-12 - 12:02 AM jerryaberry: thanks :D Gotta admit though that there are two spots where the lasers can't reach you. One spot allows you to destroy the top one and the alien in the middle, and the other spot lets you destroy the bottom part :P
jerryaberry 05-31-12 - 08:04 PM I did attempt the last boss recently. Dodging those lazer things is pretty insane. Quite the achievement putting it all together, congrats rcarter2.
rcarter2 05-31-12 - 07:59 PM Whew. Finally beat this thing!
nguyenminhthien.. 05-31-12 - 09:12 AM i'm trying to finish.
rcarter2 05-28-12 - 10:49 AM Dang it, the last level is just a monster. If I can just get the the boss of the last level, I will be fine.
jerryaberry 05-25-12 - 09:26 AM Pretty happy I can still make it to level 5. Made a simple mistake that I couldn't recover from though. As rcarter2, the last 2 levels are going to be the tough ones.
rcarter2 05-24-12 - 05:27 PM Accidentally slipped up on level 6. I'll do better later. I forgot how hard the last 2 levels are :P
nguyenminhthien.. 05-05-12 - 07:33 AM hard game.
triplej1234 04-30-12 - 08:02 PM whos trying to win right now
rcarter2 04-13-12 - 07:34 AM You might notice that the high score mode for this game is gone. Take a look at Davideo7's competition thread. For any questions over the issue, ask there.
rcarter2 04-12-12 - 04:19 PM Also, level 5 introduces a new weapon. I'll post about it later in the Madison's tips thread.
rcarter2 04-12-12 - 04:18 PM Level 5 is so frustrating. This is the point where the game starts putting up to 10 enemies on the screen at once bouncing all over the screen while shooting at you. Enemies no longer follow patterns like in levels 1-4, making it impossible to 'memorize'
jerryaberry 04-12-12 - 08:59 AM Indeed, save states are key to mastering anything that gives you consistent trouble.
rcarter2 04-11-12 - 09:00 PM Yeah, those flame projectiles from the first boss took me a long time to figure out. I actually went on the normal plugin play mode and made a save state at the start of that boss just to perfect dodging those things.
mike56 04-11-12 - 05:22 PM hello everyone
jerryaberry 04-11-12 - 03:48 PM Everyone's style is different. You just have to keep to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses (if possible). I'm so bad at dodging the flame projectiles that I need to end the boss faster. Somehow I die less doing it this way.
nebula 04-11-12 - 03:42 PM ... oh... Id rather play it safe.
jerryaberry 04-11-12 - 03:41 PM No you actually get the shield right up to the red thingy on the boss. That's why it's easy to die doing this.
nebula 04-11-12 - 03:37 PM ??? how? does your sheild reflects the boss's attack?
jerryaberry 04-11-12 - 03:35 PM Easy to die doing this but after 2 hits from the shield the boss just needs a couple more shots to be defeated. Just my preferred strategy.
nebula 04-11-12 - 03:26 PM it
nebula 04-11-12 - 03:26 PM I find no use to use the shield on the first boss. Whats it good for if you can just use the diagional beam for?
jerryaberry 04-11-12 - 03:21 PM I just use the shield for the first boss .
rcarter2 04-10-12 - 10:16 PM I got levels 1-4 so memorized so well that I can avoid all tight situations in which the shield would help. I only use the shield at one part of the game.
rcarter2 04-10-12 - 10:14 PM That shield thing is only good in a few situations. Enemies start to get too strong to use your shield. Enemies start to get to the point where they can be killed by your shield, but they will reach you before they die.
nebula 04-10-12 - 09:00 PM did you know that your sheild your ship makes can destroy enemies faster then most wepons? its usefull in the second level
nebula 04-10-12 - 06:21 PM rcarter2! davideo7! Ill aim for the top two!!! anyway, the shield your ship creats can destroy enemies faster then most weapons. it is usefull when you are in tight spaces in level two, you can out-fly the suecid ships there
CarBitGTSaxen 04-09-12 - 03:30 PM The SuperGrafx was a failure i think.
rcarter2 04-08-12 - 08:14 PM The highest score you can get on level 1 without dying is 36,400 (I am pretty sure)
rcarter2 04-06-12 - 11:29 AM I was wrong. You do get points when your pods destroy enemies. I forgot that you don't get points for shooting away missiles and that is what I saw my pods destroy and not get poitns for.
madison 04-05-12 - 09:48 PM Oh dang, now I have to edit my post, thanks though.
jerryaberry 04-05-12 - 09:44 PM Also, if you hold down the same button the helper pods rotate around you creating a perforated shield. Can be kinda useful with 3 pods or more.
madison 04-05-12 - 09:22 PM Thanks, that's pretty helpful! I'm typing up a tips thread right now as Davideo7 suggested.
rcarter2 04-05-12 - 09:04 PM Madison: Whatever key you have assigned to Button 1. I think the default for it is 'z'. Hit it once, and the helper pods stick close to you shooting in when you shoot (Like the orbs in Gradius if you have ever played that).
madison 04-05-12 - 07:23 PM Oh, I didn't know the shield thing did anything. That might help. And umm, how do you put the helper pods into formation?
Davideo7 04-05-12 - 04:06 PM Good tip rcarter2. Someone should make a thread full of tips and link it to this game.
rcarter2 04-05-12 - 10:46 AM You get no points for enemies destroyed by you helper pods unless you have them under formation. Though letting them travel the screen on their own is helpful, only do that if you have to because it does not help your score when they destroy enemies.
Clean 04-05-12 - 07:44 AM hmm i thought that i would try something outside of my element for once... rhythm games are my strengths.... i dont have many game genre strengths.... I can't even get my score above 10,000.......... oh well ill keep at it
Jordanv78 04-05-12 - 12:57 AM I knew it was gonna be tough as soon as I saw Hudson Soft made it. Their games are usually hard.
Davideo7 04-04-12 - 11:22 PM This game is tough, I'm usually really good at these type of shooter games. Any score about 50,000 is an awesome score.
This game requires a lot of strategy, some good tips given out so far, if anyone has any others, feel free to submit them.
rcarter2 04-04-12 - 09:16 PM I can finally get through levels 1-3 without dying about 80% of the time. Haven't yet memorized the 4th level yet. Getting there though.
jerryaberry 04-04-12 - 11:08 AM rcarter2: Yeah it's pretty difficult to get powered up again once you die. The power-ups are very much essential to stay alive particularly the speed boost.
jerryaberry 04-04-12 - 10:57 AM madison: For the first boss use the front shield thing. Don't go in too close or you'll die. Do this only twice and a few shots will kill him super fast.
rcarter2 04-03-12 - 10:31 PM This game would not be so hard if losing once didn't pretty much mean a guarantee that you are going to get corned by enemies within 10 seconds every life you have remaining.
madison 04-03-12 - 08:39 PM Actually, scratch that, I can't even make it to the boss anymore!
madison 04-03-12 - 08:34 PM The first level, and its boss thingie which keeps killing me. >.
rcarter2 04-03-12 - 08:32 PM Madison, what are you daaanging about? :)
madison 04-03-12 - 08:27 PM Daaang.
rcarter2 04-03-12 - 07:50 PM not doing as well today as yesterday. Just not in any good zone right now :P
jerryaberry 04-03-12 - 05:01 PM I suck at this game. I love it!
iwxLeprechaun 04-02-12 - 11:33 PM Well 45K is as good as I'm gonna do tonight -.-
iwxLeprechaun 04-02-12 - 11:31 PM on lv1
iwxLeprechaun 04-02-12 - 11:31 PM woot 36K
Aceo45 04-02-12 - 11:26 PM You always get a giant high score.
rcarter2 04-02-12 - 11:25 PM Who again?
Aceo45 04-02-12 - 11:25 PM You again.
rcarter2 04-02-12 - 11:24 PM I keep doing the same thing. Level 4 keeps getting me.
Aceo45 04-02-12 - 11:23 PM Enemies behind me too often.
Aceo45 04-02-12 - 11:23 PM Wtf... They put the n
Aceo45 04-02-12 - 11:21 PM Well I'm going for the highscore. Got 24,500 so far.
iwxLeprechaun 04-02-12 - 11:20 PM I'm Tired and keep missing the combo I want, I should say resets rather than deaths
