5.8 mil. and i can't BELIEVE the stupid way i died -- i looked over at my score and ran into the leftover stalk from one of those green bullet spherey things in level 2. i had a 30x multiplier going, and probably could've added another million points without running into anything difficult. :'(

The Sceneman · « **Reply #121 on:** January 27, 2008, 05:00:30 AM »

wtf 30x multiplier?

I thought it maxed at 10x?

and i hate those things In level 2, I wish they had a proper name

drohne · « **Reply #122 on:** January 27, 2008, 05:06:03 AM »

arcade++ mode replaces the 10x multiplier with a 30x multiplier -- though the tradeoff is that one hit kills you

Goddamn drohne.

Does this game get really hard?

I love the demo but i hates me some hard shooters.

I had the same concern, but it's totally playable even for a non-shmup-nut and you unlock extra lives the more you play. Play 5 hours and you have infinite lives. You will beat it.

Beezy · « **Reply #125 on:** January 27, 2008, 10:53:17 PM »

I beat hyp's and drohne's previous scores. Now I have to beat their new scores. :'(

Edit: I just realized that I broke into the top 100 on the leaderboards.

fuck how many points does the #1 guy have?

Beezy · « **Reply #127 on:** January 28, 2008, 01:58:55 AM »

The two top people both scored over 20 million. I'm pretty sure that they did that by playing on arcade++ and chaining every level.

I'm sure that I can get into the top 50 if I keep playing. Not getting hit on the 2nd level is my main problem. The 3rd level is easy.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #128 on:** January 28, 2008, 02:52:58 AM »

fuck I need tips for the lvl 3 boss, how do you unlock those replays hyp was talking about?

drohne · « **Reply #129 on:** January 28, 2008, 07:47:01 PM »

you can watch replays from the challenge mode leaderboards

anyway, i finished off the achievements last night, and bumped my score to around 7 mil, though i was never able to combine a good level 1 run with a good level 2 run. maybe i'll make some headway tonight.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #130 on:** January 28, 2008, 08:00:14 PM »

thanks man

I dont think I'll ever be able to match you guys in terms of score :'( Im not that sweet at sh'mups. If I ever get 200/200 I'll be happy

Beezy · « **Reply #131 on:** January 28, 2008, 08:04:47 PM »

I've never been great at shmups either. Omega 5 just isn't that hard compared to the others.

If I keep playing this day after day like I've been doing for the past week, I'm sure that eventually I'll be able to score over 10 mil on arcade++.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #132 on:** January 28, 2008, 09:26:43 PM »

It's just a matter of playtime, Scenester. You'll get better. Omega 5 is no Ikaruga in terms of difficulty. (Yea, I haven't played many shmups at all)

The Sceneman · « **Reply #133 on:** January 28, 2008, 09:31:03 PM »

I did end up getting quite good at Ikaruga, I could 2cc it which was quite difficult. Fuck that last stage snake boss thing, always raped me. the actual final boss was easier

Yea, that's about how good I got too.

drohne · « **Reply #135 on:** January 28, 2008, 10:44:01 PM »

yeah, omega five doesn't require much twitch skill -- it's more a matter of strategy and concentration. if you stick with it, you'll get good at it.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #136 on:** January 29, 2008, 06:24:59 AM »

fucccckkk had the last boss down to his last scrap of health on 1 credit then I got wasted

I'll hopefully 1cc this bitch tomorrow

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #137 on:** January 31, 2008, 01:10:06 PM »

Beat it. Had 8 credits but only died twice. Plus a suicide in the last boss fight so I could switch to Tempest for the deathblow.

The first time I got to stage 3 I did it with dying, but every time after that I die sometime in the course of stage 2 for some reason. I think I could definitely one-credit it if I stopped trying to kill the snake's head.

Is there any particular strategy to killing those blue flying guys in stage 2 (the ones in clusters?)?

Is there ever a reason to use Ruby's Type C?

drohne · « **Reply #138 on:** January 31, 2008, 01:18:14 PM »

i don't think there's any special strategy for the blue flying things. and i think the only point of ruby's type c is ease of chaining -- its low power and inability to ricochet can be benefits there -- but even so i prefer type b

anyway, i'm at like 9.6 million, and i've been stuck in that range for days. if i could just put together all the individual things i'm capable of doing in level 2, my score should be at 11+ million, but there are so many ways to screw up, and going through level 1 again is such a frustration.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #139 on:** January 31, 2008, 01:24:51 PM »

What is your current leaderboard rank?

drohne · « **Reply #140 on:** January 31, 2008, 01:39:33 PM »

15 or so. which is kind of crazy, since i've yet to beat level 2 in ++ mode, and my level 1 score is a couple million points short of optimal. maybe the best players are on the challenge leaderboards.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #141 on:** February 01, 2008, 09:21:08 PM »

sweet 1cced with Ruby

whats the best weapon to use with Tempest? I also cant figure out how this bullet deflection thing works :'(

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #142 on:** February 01, 2008, 09:23:35 PM »

-Constantly fire
-When firing, bullets that get near you slow and turn green
-Release fire
-Continue firing and green bullets will fly out at enemies

The Sceneman · « **Reply #143 on:** February 02, 2008, 01:50:26 AM »

sweet cheers, got the deflection achievement

still cant figure out what type to use as Tempest though, he sucks ass

drohne · « **Reply #144 on:** February 02, 2008, 03:07:29 AM »

yes, yes he does. i use type b, tho -- if that's the water one

Where did you go to get that Achievement? It's the only character one I lack, though I haven't tried yet.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #146 on:** February 02, 2008, 06:01:20 PM »

about 2/3 the way through stage 1, you'll find two of those big spider things (that shoot missles and stuff) one above you on the roof and one below you. Basically position your ass between them (while firing through the gap between them so u can catch bullets), wait for them to unload their salvos (they both fire at the same time) you'll be in a prime position to catch them all, bam achievement

heres a youtube video

I play this game like an old shoot'em up. I have to be right in front of everything to shoot it.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #149 on:** February 06, 2008, 08:30:57 PM »

fuck Im stuck at 175/200, cant 1cc the damn game with Sensei, he just cant kill things fast enough with sword of his, esp. those centipede train things on level 4 and the last boss's meteors

drohne · « **Reply #150 on:** February 06, 2008, 09:27:41 PM »

have you noticed that sensei does a really powerful circular slash if you rotate the right stick? if you haven't, that'll probably help

The Sceneman · « **Reply #151 on:** February 24, 2008, 04:07:58 AM »

whoooo finally nailed the last achievement (stupid sensei) and got my 200/200

Congrats! Still haven't attempted to get him yet but I finally cracked the top 200 at #198 yesterday in Arcade ++. I'm sure I can get into the top 100 by the end of next week.
