The RGF Shmup League - Season #3 Game #2: taking nominations

[Vyothric]

Vyothric - DAZ - 1,655,720 - 51 - ALL - Dark Ran - Character - MAME

Personally I always found Memory harder than Mevious. I've got used to Mevious' insanity and can hit some massive chains against him. That 51 might have been against Dark Ran though. Big chains are the key for me.

For playing with, I didn't like Memory or Mevious. They're too good.

Good lord.. there's my hopes of going top of the league out the window. Damn all of you!

Great submissions there guys.. i'm out i'm afraid, just not time to respond.

Rankings Updated (7hrs 40mins to go)

Good lord ^2

I had a couple of extra credits but I figured it's just not worth my time.
After I 1LCed the game without much effort with less than 1M (damn enemies dying for nothing) I don't think I'll have the patience to manage this anymore.

Congrats to the top 3, here's hoping I don't drop even further!
Is there any chance the next game will be as frustrating and random as TSS?
I hope not!

I'm gonna try and get a few more credits in but we have people coming over so may not get another chance to get the 1cc

A little improvement in my score, I will try to increase it until the dead line.

Fell asleep in the evening and just woke up. I think playing Twinkle Star Sprites frazzled my brain.

Have to think of a nomination now....

[coffeejoerx]

Dammit, I calculated wrong the time.

Really sorry dude, great score though. I'll add it it to the score list when I move the scores to a separate thread
. it just wouldn't be fair to sputryk if I accepted it.

For such an annoying game lacking in depth, the competition really was quite close eh?

Any mistakes please let me know..

It was.....

I did kind of think "well, damn" when I got that 1.4m score and then talked to you afterwards. I realised that I had a chance to do quite well and really had to go for it as while the next game might be more enjoyable (surely!), it might not go so well score-wise.

I know I'm in the minority but I enjoyed it, I'm still playing the game now. I want to get something really decent with Mevious, broke 1.7 million yesterday. This morning I got an absolutely enormous chain against Memory but I'll never know what it was because I didn,t beat her . I wasn't playing very well tbh, I kept losing lives agianst Tinker & Linker >_>.

And yeah it was amazingly close in the end, I was lucky to shade it by 10000 points .

I think most here did really well, which is quite an achievement for saying most people hated it

[AmidstStorm]

I have to admit I hated the game whilst I was hitting it hard but have had the urge to play another credit today.

Really looking forward to te next game already and I have some time off work soon so hoping its a good one.

The game drained me so much that I didn't even have the energy to get annoyed about it.



Yet....

[Sputryk]

5th? Moi? Yay! And: phew! Close shave there, Coffee. Well played, though. Had tried Friday night to do better, but just wasn't getting a fair run of the game - early rounds ended far too quickly, leaving me with Mevious at close to 400k(!) and occasionally Memory nearer 700k. VERY frustrating as confidence was high. Maybe it was due to getting used to playing with Sprites. I like Sprites. Did manage one other 1m+ score, but defeated by Memory. Although I started out not liking this game much, it did grow on me - if only the cpu was a little more balanced in how it plays.

Anyhoo, nom time. Hmmm..., several ideas, but which do I choose.
