On a side note, do we know if the leaderboard will be updated?

Hopefully it is coming soon.

At the beginning of last week I put together all of the updated scores from the past few weeks for Guillavoie and bimmy.

 

I'm about to ask for the privilege to edit others post just to update the leaderboard. Thanks again for compiling scores this week Nathan. I'll be back home in the end of this week so I'll be in a better position to take care of all these details.

Not bad considering this week was my first time playing the game.  But at the same time I know I could have done better.
 


Humble brag of the day.   This week was the first time quite a few of us played, I think.  

But I definitely feel like I missed out not getting to play this one as a kid.
(also, I feel like it needs to be a twin-stick shooter)

I just lost my last life literally minutes ago. I really, really wish I had more time this week. This was a game my brother bought a while back that I never played and I only got a couple games in this week. This is a game I definitely hope we have in a contest again. I'd like another shot at it.

Almost was at the end of the game! Then a heli boxed me in, and it was all over!
I love this game because it is so much like my favorite game genre, shmups! I love games like 1942 and Xevious. (Among others.) But they all seem to default on planes up in the air. Or dragons, or angels... whatever. The point is, I think jakal delivers the same, great and intense formula. While keeping things looking fresh. Yes, its frustrating at times. But it has that certain, unexplainable type of frustration that more often has you chuckling at the end of your game, rather than cursing, and throwing the controller. The first Ninja Gaiden game also seems to share the same peculiar attribute.
