Maybe that's why silos pop up when you bomb certain areas. You are supposed to blow them up to release grain to feed the cattle so the people of Xevious can procure beef more easily!








How in the hell are you guys finding the flags and silos?!?!!

I've been raining bombs over that lil lake inlet area and NOTHING!

That pier....nothing.

The same with the first area where the three ground troops are for the first silo.

I can't find a damn thing.

Does anybody else seem to pilot there solvalou directly into oncoming enemy fire? Lol

 

 yes




I usually stay towards the lower center area of the screen. It's kind of a sweet spot that helps you avoid enemy fire from the top and sides while still leaving you enough room to avoid anything that gets behind you.





I'll give it a shot. That's where I stay when you battle that "base?" with the exploding bowling balls.

I think I'm moving to much maybe. I tend to move the solvalou even when it's not necessary.

It's like a bad habit of dodging nothing right into enemy fire lol.

The 1 ups are in the same general areas, but not the same exact spot. They only appear if you manage to hit them with a bomb so raining bombs all over the area is basically the only way to get them.

The name of the spaceship in the game. Beyond that, I have no idea.

Lol! It's the name of the ship The pilots name is Mu he/she? has a copilot but I can't remember the name. I think it's a computer robot or something. I could be getting the story mixed up.

I think G.A.M.P is the enemy but I could be wrong about that too.

There is a whole story. The game seems to have a cult classic type following. Well, the arcade version anyway.

yeah the name of the ship, just a strange name and unusual for a game to refer to lives left by a proper name

Gave the game an hour on the psp. On actual hardware I'm sure I can do way better.

Edit: just saw what time it is. Might've been more like two hours lol

If you think Solvalou is bad, according to the manual, the large fortress is called an Ando Ageanesis. The names of the regular enemies are even worse if you can believe it. It's like someone just hit random buttons on a keyboard when they named these things.

Those orbs that explode into a bunch of tiny bullets that spray everywhere are really tricky.  I finally got another good run, though, and improved my score some.  I'm not going down without a fight, acromite53!

Fun yet challenging little game. That soundtrack though... I don't know how you guys put up with it for long enough to get admirable scores.
