Big ups to all you big tymers for killin' it at my favorite Cave game. I didn't "like" every one of the scores, but well done to all so far.

You don't need to write "final boss", just the stage number, homie

It's so good. Hopefully more folks jump on it

First couple of runs on Salamander 3. Is this a new game or remade for modern hardware?

I've started practicing the stages individually and am starting to get a real feel for the level design. This was with three very silly deaths. I'm confident that I can hit 15m+, but the real question is will I be able to get the 1CC before the end of the month? That final boss is spicey.

That’s all I have for this month, will be picking this back up. It’s a shame it deletes your scores when you go back to the “main” menu.
