Unfortunately I managed to miss just about every secret on every stage, so I think that I can do alot better than this. Just have to continue playing and to learn where all the secrets are.

Mostly because the C-type has a widespread shot that will kill most small enemy ships before they can start shooting at you. It’s also a bit easier to do larger chains because of this. Managed to raise my highscore with about 1.5 million points and my max hit to 72. Level 4 is still a bitch though.

Now I usually get over 1million points on that level. But since I’ve now can find all the bee medals on the first level, I of cource start to get nervous and screw up on the later levels! Well, you can’t have it all I guess =/. Managed to raise my highscore a bit at least, but forgot to check what my max hit was because I got so pissed and unplugged the cabinet right after looking at my score.

Level 4 still rapes me fucking hard!

Need more practice!

I really wish I had more time to play..

I can one-life to the level 3 boss, but then it’s straight to hell with everything. And yeah, my chaining still sucks. 

So things I need to do is:

  • learn how to chain correctly
  • learn to defeat the level 3 boss without loosing any lives, or using to many bombs
  • practice, practice, practice level 4
