Here we go, i can feel my wrist hurting already without the autofire

 

[Tyranix95]

Post a score later tonight.

 

[Jibbajaba]

Ooh. A game I actually have. I'm looking forward to posting an utterly unimpressive score later...

 

[andsuchisdeath]

Autofire should be allowed.

The use of auto fire has been a generally accepted standard within shooting games for quite some time.
Although it's use in some isolated instances can break a game, this isn't the case for Andro Dunos.

Fine with me. Will update OP.

You the man.

 

[cornerstone]

As we all know, you can't spell Andro Dunos without nardoos - which is a real word.

That is all. Have fun this month.

 

[wyo]

I'll start this off with... 231,750 - Stage 3 - MVS

 

[ebinsugewa]

I've got an okay old score from this. Will try to put up a new one tonight.

You should scoop a 120 in 1, that's what I'm playing on right now. I've got a copy in a box, but can't get to my carts so this works in a quick fix.

 

[aha2940]

Just got this cart recently on MVS, gonna try a few times before posting my score (I suck at shooters, but like them a lot)

This game is reasonably easy, but requires some memorization and quick weapon switching at times.

 

[ggallegos1]

I am trying my best to get at least close to panda's score. Lots of memorization involved like ebinsugewa said, its a very nice shooter. Playing on my 161 and it plays without a hitch.

 

[andsuchisdeath]

andsuchisdeath - 653,050 - stage 6 - romz

Holy shit, I don't think I can even get that much on Easy

Better up our game fellas!

EDIT: Did better this evening:

wyo_vr4 - 387,750 - Stage 4 - MVS

 

[pipes]

I'll throw my hat in the ring tonight. We'll see how it goes.

Who can give some scoring tips?
I will have some time next week to try this baby out.

 

[ebinsugewa]

Who can give some scoring tips?

Shoot shit. Seriously.

Don't miss the bonus balls.

 

[Jibbajaba]

Shoot shit. Seriously.

Don't miss the bonus balls.

Shoot everything, and don't die. Protip for pretty much ever shooter out there.

 

[andsuchisdeath]

Shoot everything, and don't die. Protip for pretty much ever shooter out there.

Not true.


PS : This game has rank.

 

[Jibbajaba]

Not true.

I understand that that philosophy no longer works when you are trying to maximize score, as you do. But for guys like me who just don't have the skills, "shoot stuff and don't die" is the best we can sometimes hope for.
