Damn. Now I feel bad. I guess it just isn't easy to come up with rules for some games.

If there is an issue with an extra life loop then this could be a one life only contest.  



Yeah, I think I'd prefer that instead of another low score on a shooter.


And this is a tough one. One life only would be a real test of shooter skills. I doubt I'll do well.
 
But if it is one life only, then lower the participation threshold!
Right now I can't make 5K points without dying on this.

 

I've been getting to the second level without dying and then I die pretty quick. I might keep trying, but this week is for the shooter pros.

Yeah, I don't think I will get a top 8 this week, so I have team skinny attire on.
Go Skinny, go!!!

"It is forbidden to play stage 25 more than once. Your run ends after beating the Infinity Stage once."

LOL! I want to see someone make it to stage 25 with one life.

Sigh. The retrousb controllers are not cut out for this. Every so often they just... Cut out. Suddenly my ship sits there not doing anything, or sometimes it will even stick, making me move farther than intended (much farther).

I want to love this controller, but it just got me killed at 600k points.

For me this game is super hard. I guess if you're used to Japanese bullet hells, it's not a big deal.

Yeah, it's all patterns I've seen a million times before. For me it's just figuring out which enemies are which pattern, and reacting accordingly.

Stage 2: Beta - 76,000

This is probably not necessary, but I took two photos since the game spawned me in an area where the score was obscured. I moved over a bit for the second shot.





I also have close up shots of the score, but they are not photos of the whole screen.

I know that I had to move around a little to get a clearer picture of the score.  I didn't shoot anything so I think it's okay.
