Bea I watched your run and wow that is quite impressive! So many times you had ridiculously close calls. I think my nerves would've been shot long before I made it to the 8-4 boss. Both 7-3 and 8-3 looked absurdly challenging. Well done!
You tell me... That run almost ended in so many places where I just got lucky with my timing.
I tried to not lose focus when they happened, lest the next very thing would end that run. Usually, I only took time to breath properly and relax during the point talling at the end of the stage.

Bimmy, I had forfeited any physical prize because bloody Brazil customs.  
Please do another prize drawing with it among those who made to the tournament.  

Also, here's the video of my score:

I am pretty sure the amount of deaths I had to achieve that score is actually higher than the score itself.   You are incredible!  This is the real deal!

I forgot how much of a bitch 8-3 was (of course when i 'beat' it, i used a game genie to level warp, and did it with no weapons...).  This almost makes we want to play it again... almost.

Hmm, I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch up to tablew/chairs in time. I'll probably only be able to get in one more good run before time is up. How are you doing, Stryphos? Ah, nevermind.  I didn't see you already posted your score.
Holy cow that was a close one with our scores there!  Nice job!

 

Yeah, looks like we lost on the same stage too. ]]>

If it does, I'll give it another go. Otherwise, I'm writing it off. Too many games other games to play!
Yeah, don't go out of your way to play it. I think that it's a fun shooter but it's not the greatest game. Just be aware that it is very easy when you know how to play it... for when it comes up again in a future contest.

1 - Top-down: Tornadoes take you to danger zones, which are good for high score, bad for low score
2 - Top-down: There is a lucky stage hidden somewhere, most are obvious, there is one that requires bombing an unmarked area. This is practically mandatory for low score
3 - Sidescrolling: If you're fully powered just melt everything with your OP attack and defense ]]>
