Tulpa | 3,445 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) I find grabbing the main gun F powerup after dying is the fastest way to get back in the game, as it's the most powerful out of the gate. Grab it three times, then switch over to a preferred weapon at full power. Also, powerups first appear as the one you have, then cycle through.

mbd39 | 1,999 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I always die a lot to the second boss. It's hard to avoid that attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,445 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) S sidecar powerups to take care of the missiles and charge your bomb as it shoots lasers. Drop the bomb on the center of the boss when it pauses. Edited June 16, 2020 by Tulpa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulpa | 3,445 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Yeah, I use laser for level 1, homing for 2, laser for 3, and F-spread for 4 whenever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you'll still be around. And if that score is your final submission this week, I finally beat Doug!!!!! I was able to get another run in this morning, so you're up too. Even the battle to stay out of last place is competitive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) I somehow managed to break the million point mark and even beat the Twin Galaxies record.

This morning was basically my last chance to play any. I did a lot better when I figured out how to use the time bomb. I'm glad I broke a million, even though it's still participation territory this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You all can't even post in the right contest thread. Participation is right, but you spent all day on it.

Yeah you spend less time abusing yourself to practice for the shmup speed contest. What's your point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No practice needed, just winning. Actually, I couldn't get into Recca, so I'm taking a break until the tournament. You know, so I can hang out in the weekly games until the tournament and put up participation scores because then I won't have to make excuses as to why I can't get a good score. Sound familiar?

Some of us need to take a break to deal with real life instead of trying to escape it because they regret their life choices. Sound familiar?
