'Easy' or 'Hard' mode?

'Easy' is the default, or are we looking for this to be a bit more challenging.

This has got to be one of the most f'ed up games I've ever played, talk about weird. And controls are so super loose I'm having a hard time not over-moving, its like Gradius or Life Force speed-up on the highest setting, actually even worst, crazy. Even with very light touches I'm all over the place. Going to take some getting used to. Also had to read the instructions for this one, since there's so much odd stuff going on. Guys falling out of buildings, catch them. Laser beams, lightning, don't kill you but will take you down to one hit. Everything else, enemies, buildings, destroy them. Okay, I should make participation points for this one.

I'd say that hard mode would be best, if nobody have something against this.

Sounds fine for me. Most likely not going to even bother recording this one, don't think I'm going to get good enough at it to actually get much points, will have to see how long it holds my attention.

Let's say hard mode. Forgot to mention that in the rules above. If everyone is having trouble reaching the participation, I can lower it.

Ugh, took forever to get my camera to take a decent enough pic, thank goodness this game stays on the continue screen for as long as need be. Pic still came out gritty, pixeled and dark looking, but at least the score is more visible than the last time. Played several games, made it as far as the 2nd boss, guy didn't even give me a chance jumped at me as soon as the battle began, killed me instantly, I thought I saw an axe get launched from him, but he got me before it did.

Score upon 1st continue screen (hard mode) 249,500

Damn, I was hoping to get my score in before any of the top players showed up..

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.

I went back and got a lot further than last time, due to a series of good fortunes.  Waterfall level is tough.

First continue screen on HARD (214,600)

I went through all stages and died on purpose at the final battle to get a few thousands points more.

I have to admit that this game is much better than I ever thought. At first it seems like the sky is falling on you, but when you get a hold of it, it's quite possible to dodge most of the stuff coming at you.

Surprisingly, some of the music themes are awesome.
