Scrobins | 1,718 Moderator · Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 @Gloves I remember you mentioning you were thinking about making a game of your own, would it have been a shmup? Would love to see what you come up with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRobot | 5,786 Events Team · Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Damn. I thought for sure I could take Bert. I hit 191 again but just couldn't crack 200. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 It looks like I didn't do too bad in the end. That was fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadeye | 1,595 Homebrew Team · Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 This was a great showing for this round! And we learned everyone is better than me Overall standings updated and top runners added to the Homebrew leaderboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to get closer to 200 though, I spoiled a few really good runs to break the 190 mark where I finish with something around 185-188 while having a major fuck up like losing the correct grip on my controller. But now that the contest is over I don't feel like retrying, you know. I also wonder how a A button only contest would turn out, which would make more sense in a shmup context as I really don't think people play shoot em up games with both thumbs on the buttons. You usually reserve one for the direction pad, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I play shmups that allow for both buttons to be pressed like in ShmupSpeed, I usually have my one thumb covering both buttons and pressing both in turn; it works quite well for a burst fire effect.

Totally agree, smashing both in turn with one thumb in this context is effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
