The RGF Shmup League - Season #3 Game #2: taking nominations

[Sel Feena]

I've encountered the boss rush stage a few times now, and I'm convinced it's got something to do with no-missing stages. Best to let it it time out though, as that American eagle boss is a nightmare.

Consistantly getting to level 3 now and finding the Medusa boss to be not too bad - I keep losing lives stupidly on level 3 though.

Looks like some good progress is being made. I just discovered that you can make Mambo's options space out if you press the power up button when you've got full search lasers and the empty search laser power up is selected. Presumably this would also work with the bubble missiles and control lasers if you had one of those instead but since I play on auto I've not tried it. It could actually be quite useful, in stage 3, for example, as it would make it easier to kill enemies and push back bells that are on the other sides of walls. Maybe other characters have similar abilities?

I'm tempted to try using Michael with Semi-Auto for his wide snot-beam thing, though I'm not altogether sure I like the idea of being sent back to checkpoints. One drawback to Auto is the constant speeding up!

I've found that staying near the top is fairly safe, occasionally swooping down to take out those wizards that appear, along with that weird giant-headed mouse.

I'll play this game some more tomorrow and then that'll be it, 1CC or not.

[Dam]

Here is a score for the bottom of the leaderboard!

Dam - DAM - 212,800 - Stage 3 - Mambo - Auto

[Sputryk]

260,100

Marginal increase. Annoyed; stupid, stupid error cost me dearly in L3 only to lose my last life on minimum firepower sooooooo easily at the very start(!) of L4. BAH and HUMBUG!

Wow submission o'clock going on here. Really great to see. I've pm'd about 15 people who have previously posted in high score shmup threads on this forum who i thought might be interested in playing, so hopefully a few get involved and submit scores too, as well as those who posted in the thread pre-league start up.

@weakboson - you're starting to scare me how high your scores are becoming. Good luck with that 1CC, really hope you get it in the bag.

I've decided i'm going to crack on with this game at some point this week/weekend. Think I had a wash of Misery's negativity yesterday
I'm personally setting a goal of 400-450k by the end of game #1 time. Hopefully this target will keep me in the top 5 so I can nominate a new game, or at least in the top 10 for some points.

Oh and welcome to Dam.

Great initiative, unfortunately the game's way too expensive to get just for this, unless I owned a Saturn.

[weakboson]

Can't you play it in MAME, MediaCult?

Actually I just noticed that I forgot to put that's what platform I was using in my last submission. I'll edit it in in case it matters.

Thanks for the top tip, it's slighly easier staying up there than in the middle!!

Managed a run the lat night where I completed all challenges up to level 4 but lost to the boss very cheaply!! I scored around the 310000, not as high as my previous best. beating Medusa now nearly every time.

^ TO THE WELL!

[Fightersmegamix]

Finally, my copy arrived. Well chuffed too, it's in mint condition with the spine £23 from amazon including postage from Japan, bargain. Only had an hour to play, it's much harder than it looks.
