Yeah, I saw you were pretty confused. I think if you would of have stayed a bit longer to understand the mechanics of the game, you would of have understand how the game works. You pretty much find ways to "cancel" bullets out and convert them to points. It gets mad crazy on the 5th stage.

On EspGaluda II, there was a point where the PCB literally dropped to around 15 FPS! The entire screen was completely filled with bullets. I of course, died instantly.

:mad:
yeah, i wanna get the first one and spend some time learning how to play that one. I would imagine it becomes a lot more fun once you learn how to play.

All of this positive talk is making me very anxious for this to arrive.:D

I suppose the B button controls the "slowdown"?

When the bullets are blue, you gain "gems" when killing enemies. When you press the B button, the amount of gems decreases fast. When the bullets are purple, you should let them "accumulate" so there will be a lot of bullets on the screen. Once that happens, kill all the enemies that spawned the bullets. It'll then turn each bullet on the screen to 100x points. Beware, if you run out of gems (zero gems) the bullets will be red and you won't be able to receive any points. You can reverse that by pressing B again.

My supergun arrived today, so I finally got to try out Espgaluda. What an awesome game! I should also have Espgaluda II in a week or so!

Thank you.:)

And to Brumma, I'm glad to see you are liking ESPgaluda, I'm getting very excited about this one. I might attack the mailman on sight.:lolz:

Played some ESPrade today. I was terrible though, so it lasted all of 15 minutes.

Sometimes, I decide I just don't want to get frustrated and put the game down after just a couple runs.

What a bad move on your part! You're not going to want to touch EspGaluda I after you've gotten your hands on EspGaluda II!

:D

How much did you get EspGaluda I for?
----------------------------------------
Games I've been playing:
Ibara - This game is seriously frustrating!
Battle Garegga

I'll try Batrider on MAME right now.

Been playing Batrider this week, Dimahoo, and (lol thanks to Pixeljunkie) Biohazzard Battle on my new Sega Nomad :lolz:
