Just started playing this for AvsG #2 (http://gunheadshmups.blogspot.com/searc ... Series%201)

First credit score:

AmidstStorm - 1,593,170 - Area 6 - Speed 2

[AmidstStorm]

On my first credit today I barely scraped 500k.. decided to put the speed to minimum til i learn the game. Then I can ramp it up. Default speed is set to 2, speeds can be changed from 0-4. Quite a bit of an improvement on my next credit. Area's 5 and 6 sucked me dry on lives and then I winged 7, struggled through to Area 8 which I'd never seen before. Bubbles everywhere

AmidstStorm - 2,220,590 - Area 8 - Speed 0

[AmidstStorm]

Just 1 more credit tonight. A very long one at that.

AmidstStorm - 3,036,880 - Area 9 - Speed 0

My memory of this is of cruising through the game amassing loads of lives and losing them all on stage 9. Good luck with the challenge, it'd be great if one or both of you got a clear.

Yeah that's pretty much how it feels. Areas 1&2 are pretty sluggish. 3 onwards are a bit more lively. I've had 4 credits so far. Personally aiming for an all clear. 10 million point bonus for beating the final boss!

Have you got a personal target for this game Gminty?

I have to say I really didn't think I'd get to the last Stage so soon. I think 1 credit a day will be enough on this game, as it was an hour to hour and a half on my last credit I think.

When i originally played this, i always credit fed games and never thought about score or clearing them. Even credit feeding I never saw the ending. I remember it being a lot harder... Guess i've improved a little at shmups in 3 yrs. Suppose that's a good thing.

A very strong run to begin with. Got to area 7 without dying once, and had a good bank of lives. Few silly mistakes on 7 and 8 and i breezed 9 right up to just after the repeat of the first boss. Once you die around here they put you back to the section where the ships home in on your location. Near impossible without power ups. I don't think i've swore out loud this much for awhile and it's 5am here.

At the moment mate my target is 1million, my most recent score is so close to that!



Gmintyfresh - 931420 - Area 5 - Speed 2

Love the game but the only problem with it is that it's not a pickup and play game - it's damn long!! This represents the best performance I've ever had on the game so in that respect it's been a brilliant challenge.

......I FINALLY just realized exactly what game this is. I couldnt place the title for the longest time.

Expect scores from me in this one soon.

Ah, I aint played this in ages.

It sure is. I have to say getting all the way to the last stage to lose all the lives you amass is quite dishearting. I wouldn't be so bothered if it wasn't for the 10 million clearance bonus you receive upon completion. Be nice to finally 1CC the game that started it all for me too.

I'm definitely getting the impression that keeping those powerups is important as the game gets more brutal, technically I think today is the last day of this challenge?

[AmidstStorm]

You soon learn which power ups suit your style of play. I tend to stick with 'II' and the shield for the sub power up. Once you hit perhaps stage 8 onwards just do not die or stage 9 is ridiculous. A boss rush stage with some crazy moments inbetween.

The checkpoints on this game and the loss of power ups when you die screw you over royally on this game. If it wasn't for the checkpoints i'd have all cleared this within the first few days

Overall been really fun challenge on a game that I will always hold in high regard, but like you said, very long game. About an hour and a half in total.

I only really played it the first week of AvsG but guess arrow flash and under defeat were the distractions. With nothing at all the last week or so. Bring on game #3

[gmintyfresh]

Had a lovely little run last night!!
