[DeusVult]

I have been playing this a lot today. ill get the ball rolling

121,3753,7026,5730 - stage 3 - kingfisher - RF

 

[Chempop]

That’s not a legit score.

 

[Kid Panda]

That’s not a legit score.

Do tell

 

[DeusVult]

Whats wrong? I just wrote it down as it appeared on the screen

 

[Chempop]

You know what, small error on both of our parts.

You switched the last two digits “30” into “03”, all score should end in zero and I didn’t look at your screenshot. IIRC gigawing 1 and 2 both add a “1” each time you continue, seeing the “3” at the end of your score made me think three continues.

 

[DeusVult]

Ok, cheers ill amend that now

Good eyes!

 

[Omerta]

Did some test runs. This one is much more difficult than I remember.

 

[DeusVult]

what do you think is better reflect force or reflect laser? I have been mixing it up but have been using reflect force a lot more now

 

[Tyranix95]

The few times I played this before, I liked reflect force.

So, I think I'm gonna use the force!

 

[BerryTogart]

Gave this the first try today for a score ranking. Only played this once with a pal yet and I have to say it's a pretty good game. Some Reviews mention the Soundtrack as bad, but I quite enjoy it.
What I find myself doing atm is dodging, dodging then moving to the other side of the Screen with the barrier - dodge, dogde, etc.
What's really disappointing that IF I manage to get a ton of black Diamonds? (or whatever that is, moxes?) I cannot pick them all up

Anyways:
12.502.824.403.650 - Stage 2 - Kingfisher - Reflect Barrier - Dreamcast

Spoiler:

 

[BerryTogart]

Is there a way to turn up the volume of the Music or some hacked burnable Version where that is the case? I'd like to hear that better

 

[Tyranix95]

Don't know about the DC, but the music is pretty loud on naomi. I just got it setup. Gonna get some runs in in a few.

 

[skate323k137]

Fired up the NAOMI for a couple credits before work.

skate323k137 - 326,859,278,852,250 - stage 4 - kingfisher - RF - NAOMI

Spoiler:

I can confirm diff 4 is default on JP NAOMI

 

[ggallegos1]

Tried my hand at it.

ggallegos1- 51, 128, 537, 952, 260 - stage 2 - kingfisher - RB- Dreamcast.

Important safety tip for those playing on Dreamcast:

DO NOT USE THE QUICK RESTART ON THE PAUSE MENU!

Even though this starts the whole game over and seems like a great time saver, it still adds the "one of shame" on to the end of your score making it look like you continued. The only correct way to start over is to quit all the way out to the main menu, then restart from there.

Best for today:



Jeneki - 1,414,015,891,123,730 - Stage 5 - Kingfisher - Reflect Barrier - Dreamcast

This explains a lot. Thanks for the tip!

 

[NERDtendo]

I'm gonna dig out the Dreamcast and start trying my hand at this tomorrow...

 

[DeusVult]

improved score for me, stage 4 is a step up from the other ones, I didn't last long there

DeusVult - 167,6278,0373,3000 - stage4 - kingfisher - RF - Dreamcast

also why does my dreamcast scoreboard look different than the others?

 

[skate323k137]

Score board display varies by region iirc

 

[_rm_]

I already did 200 and something Gazillion points but turned the Naomi off before i took the picture (insert face palm here).

Anyway, i've got my eyes on you Skate

 

[BerryTogart]

Tried this with the custom stick lem did for me today and immedately improved my score to 29.x - I seem to have much better control over the plane with it and hillariously enough I died at the 2nd Boss only because I furiously hammered on all of the Buttons to find the correct one for the bomb (which I didn't in time )

 

[Chempop]

Have you guys considered using the reflect barrier to collect medals? Just sayin
