All I know is that in regard to this game, my skills are sorely lacking...

Yup, that's right.  No turbo controllers.

The game is a bit of a hand cramp, but there are powerups that give you autofire, if you can hang on to them.

Any additional info about the autofire powerup would be greatly appreciated by my right hand
 

I think you can auto-fire as soon as you get 1 power-up.
Maybe it's 2.
 

I'm stupid for not noticing it. This said, it is useful for taking a right hand break, but it is not rapid enough. I was hoping to kill the head before it joins with the rapid fire, but it won't do it. Otherwise, I achieved to get manually the 80k bonus on the head 2-3 times, but it was very close calls, and I think I'll just pass on this bonus since it is too risky.

Gah, I'm horrible at games like these, but this is still pretty fun.

Also, need one other thing clarified:

Backwards warping by failing to defeat a boss is not allowed

So..if I fail to beat a boss, I just restart my game or count that as a Game Over? Or is this just refering to purposly allowing myself to be defeated and being defeated while not wanting to is cool?

If you fail to beat the final boss of a stage (brain), you're scoring attempt end here.

Noted, thanks.

Also, those skull tiles have been creeping me out and I finally figured out why. Reminds me so much of Red from this: http://nesgodzillacreepypasta.blog.com/

Wow, Andy, you're really into this game. I absolutely do not like Star Soldier, don't have the game, used to though, but don't see me wanting to get it again, even if its a cheapy. Just some shmups aren't very enjoyable, Star Soldier, Star Force, Starship Hector, Tiger-Heli, Xevious, and several other similar ones, I play them for a few minutes and then say, @#$% this %$#@, take the game out to play something better. But enjoying watching the scores go up, keep up the awesomeness. But yeah, its always more fun if you got some good competition.

I am ready to drop kick this game. I am now sure my hand is no longer flesh but a cybernetic machine. Look at this score as I died at the fist big brain with all those cannons.

too much button mashing for me... this is the best I can do.   though I got to stage 6 I can't seem to get any of the major bonus points. I usually end up under the damn platforms when I need to be shooting.

413,100


-------------------------
If you have any GBA signage or kiosk I would be interested. Please send me a PM because I'm only here about once a month now but I'm still VERY interested in large system signage or small playable kiosks related to the GBA.

This game is some kind of beast! I wont even bother showing my attempt. It has some cool aspects to it though. I was a bit confused when my ship went "invisible" in different areas. Let me get this straight. When that bastard brain comes in, you have to kill him before he escapes, or you start the level over?! That part sucks! I think I will stick to my side scrolling shooter fav Magmax
