This is only the first loop. I found a tasty point racking spot. Let the low score contest talk begin. (drops mic)
Neat. My score is lowest.


 


Haha. I could've just waited until the last few minutes on sunday to post,but that's neither fair nor fun.  

Where did you point rack? It will probably become a furthest progression/low score contest anyway.

 


Oddly enough,at the boss of the water level. If you get to it with a level 5 weapon (shoots 5 directions) and just sit off to the right of the middle face to where your main laser hits its' left shoulder (since it's facing you after all) you can just hold down the fire button and never get hit since the boulders it shoots from each cannon arm get picked off by your level 5 weapon. The rocks are worth 100 each,not much,but they add up of course. Plus where you are positioned you never damage the boss so you could do this for as long as you wanted.  Looks like I broke another game. Sorry.


I wonder if it is better to have a no point racking rule or make it a low score contest. The racking is obvious when it's a score that is wildly disproportionate for what stage you died on. But it's up to the mods.


 

Just make a rule that you can only use the focus laser there

I won't lie, that game sucks for a contest, lol (and the score meter is just retard with the zeros that go up to the billions). Bimmy wanted to try a new game so he scheduled it, not his fault, I should have tested it further.

That ain't perfect at all but I'd suggest to simply go with a no points pressing rule in boss battles, is that cool for everyone?

You know that's my favorite   

And, low score would go against the have fun rule   

i think focus laser only during boss battles would make it tougher to point rack at those points in the game. Almost making it skillful.

That's a good idea but it is a little too restrictive for my taste, hehe. Just don't exploit bosses throwing shit that are worth points.

Yeah, especially since you only get like a couple millions for beating the game, I bet nobody ever turned that billion zero to a 1.

You could just use my point racking spot,put a heavy object on top of the fire button,turn off your TV and come back in like a month. Haha.

That's probably the reason they made the score meter like that, they wanted someone to do it at some point, it could be YOU,  hehe.

Or do it the fun way and loop the game 500 times.

You get credits at the end scene when you beat the second loop.

Hmmm... If you can only loop the game once then there might be no need for a no looping rule.

No, you can loop it infinitely. You just get credits the second time on.

Well then I'm using the spread shot, because it will no doubt net you more points.

Do I need to add a 'fuck the credits' rule?

I can almost beat the third level. I've made it to the boss a few times.

It isn't even that hard. What f!cks me up more than anything is getting too many speed powerups so that I move so fast that I can no longer control it. You have to watch out for that.

The first two levels are a cakewalk as long as you stay powered up and keep the shield. I prefer the straight laser because it's powerful.

Right now the third boss is the impasse to a higher score. I'll get the hang of it. I've come close.
