AKA Galactic Attack.

I mean seriously, just how f'n difficult this game is? I'll tell you... hard as a brick wall!

But it is possible to beat the game. You just got to play it over and over. It's a matter of memorizing and remembering where to move and where to shoot. You gotta possess nimble reflexes or else you're done.

Of course, I used the 8 continue code, I won't lie about that. :)

Have you beaten this game yet?

I once thought it was impossible (long time ago I couldn't get pass the Level 6 boss; there are 7 stages total) but all you gotta do is repeated constant play. And when you lose a ship, try your best to not get flustered. Sometimes all it takes is one crack in your shell and you've lost that small window of opportunity. Last piece of tip, try to make it to the final boss with at least 3 continues if at all possible.

If you're at least a decent shooter player and practice everyday playing Layer Section for 2-3 hours, you should be able to beat it within ten days. It's just a matter of whether or not you can make the time and have the patience.

You'll curse a lot along the way as well. ;)

Aw, I was gonna congratulate you but using more continues? :(

I got to the end of the 7th stage before. Really hard game, and very excellent, too. After playing some rather poor shooters recently I have new repect for how good a game like Layer Section is.

CONGRATS!

I still have yet to beat Layer Section, though I did beat PART II first. And yeah, that game is rather hard but nothing as hard as RayXanber II

It's all good.

But c'mon, I'm not a shooter expert and to beat Layer Section on default difficulty (Normal) with JUST 4 continues is asking a helluva lot!

Hell, you need 4 continues alone for stage 7, the last level! Or else, fergetaboutit!

I'd like to see anyone who can beat this game on just 4 continues -- you gotta have this game memorized in your sleep in order to do that.

The first 3 levels are easy yes, but levels 4, 5, 6, and especially 7, are BRUTAL. 3 ships per continue. 12 total chances.

Impossible.

Can you believe there is like a "Hard 4" difficulty setting? I think I'll stop here at Normal thank you very much... ;) :p

My buddie and I played Glactic Attack for an entire night before we managed to beat it, and it is no easy task. Gongradulations!

I don't find that the game gets hard til level 5, and not crazy hard til 6... But yeah, it does get pretty insane... I do want to beat it on the default someday.
