Btw, I've read that if you get through God/Hard+ w/o losing any lives you get to Spiritual Larsa. Is this boss also included in Boss Rush mode? Just saying because it'll probably take a while until I get to it the normal way .
Yeah, as I thought, auto-bomb was driving me mad, I'd rather die... I started trying to get a good score, but I keep ragequitting because I make stupid mistakes. I can't get more than 30mil on the first stage (original), which seems pathetic. I stopped using Reco and started using Palm, I can shed a little more with him, those homing options are annoying to control.
On the subject of ragequitting. I've done this sometimes, and going all "oh #### it, I want to start over", I don't think I'm the only one so wouldn't implementing a restart button be like, very awesome indeed?
I don't mind the high price tag, but my chief complaint is the same chief complaint I've been having with many game descriptions in general. A universal app with high resolution graphics! This game isn't HD or Retina, not even close. Why say this if it isn't HD? That's just crap and I would want my money back if I bought it hoping that it had 'high resolution' graphics. Another Cave game description foible is with Espgaluda 2 HD. It says: ESPGALUDA II will only run on iPad2 (iOS 4.2 and up). Other devices are incompatible. Other devices are incompatible. Not only is that not true (it plays just fine on my 4S) they said it twice, LOL. Developers: MAKE ACCURATE GAME DESCRIPTIONS. We are buying your games.
The problem with the Espgaluda II HD description is that they never updated that certain part after it went universal. When it initially did, under "Whats New" was a "works on iPhone 4+" sort of message. I could be wrong, but I distinctively remember there being something about it working on iPhone 4 whereas DDP:R was something along the lines of "it'll work, but it's meant for iPhone 4S". In regard to the "HD graphics" crap...well...yeah...the Bug Princess series does essentially have retina graphics...except for the actual game. The menus, etc. are all retina. I don't know if the SD versions of Espgaluda II and DoDonPachi have ever been updated to change that, but they never did. I know it's wrong for them to say "LEWK...WE HAZ AITCH-DEE GRAFHIX...but they sorta do. In other news...I....caved (teehee) in and am back to owning all of CAVE's iOS titles. Yay!
Yeah, I was about to buy this one as my first Cave shooter, then I downloaded the BP 2 Lite version, looked okay on my 4S but looked BAD on the ipad 2 - washed out colors, blurry, much worse than say, Bug Panic upscaled 2x. Then I downloaded Epsgaluda and Dodoenpachi HD lite and they look good on the ipad so I gave up on Bug Princess. If it were HD Cave would cash out big on me because in 2 days I bought ESP, Dodoenpachi and Bug Panic (I like dual stick shooters on the iphone but looks nice enough on the iPad to play, now DeathSmiles I din't get because it seems better fit for the big screen and it looks terrible upscaled on the ipad).
The graphics in dodonpachi hd and esp2 hd are indeed much better on the ipad, and I would buy those over graphically inferior bug princess 2, but games play totally different. Bug princess bullet patterns are way different and I find the game really fun too even with the poor graphics. Personally I think the black label version seems a lot better than the regular version but since I already have the original it makes it hard to justify buying the black label version. So I recommend getting all of them, but I know it is very expensive. They do have sales from time to time so you can stockpile your purchases to save some money. I love cave shooters, they are a lot of fun. If I had to just buy one game though I would buy Dodonpachi resurrection hd, it has the best graphics and is space themed which is fun for me.
was already discussed many times, i actually reactivated twitter account to write them and the response was kinda - thanks for interest we will consider it for future development or something like that. instead of - thanks that was stupid decision not to include such option from the beginning and we will make it in next updates.
Yeah, every f time I have to restart I wish I could just hit a restart button. I was trying to get a good run on the first stage on original, and that means screwing up every 10 seconds... So many ragequits and it took too much time to restart D:
They should really update their descriptions and stop claiming things are HD/Retina when they aren't. And why are the menus in Retina and the game isn't? That is just ridiculous. I always wondered why those menus looked so good and the rest was a fuzz-fest... Any game that is brought out today without some sort of Retina/HD is really limiting itself. I'd pay extra for those bells and whistles in a heart beat for Cave titles. At least Espgaluda and DoDon got HD, which DOES look significantly better on the iPhone too, not just the iPad. I just wish Blissful Death, DeathGrin and Bug Princess would get the same treatment.
see what happens when you play with your eyeglasses off ( my big error) 23 years old & my eye sight seems to be getting worse.
Yeah, they seem to be hard to communicate to, and with that, and not many people asking for the same, would make sense they don't even bother with it. (Also they seem to be some devs with the mentality of *it is how it is, if you dont like it, don't buy it).
How are you guys managing to decrease the gauge in Maniac/God modes? Turning off the shots is a bit clunky and I end up just trying to avoid enemies/gems until it's gone, but the inefficiency really bothers me
Ok, I went to youtube and typed in bug princess 2 black label, while there weren't that many videos one struck my eye, it was one played in god mode. But when I went to watch the video, I was surprised, it was in HD! Wow, now I'm wondering why they didn't make the black label version on iOs HD. What system is that video from? The arcade version? Or some console version. This leads me to the impression that bug princess 2 can be ported to ios in HD like dodonpachi hd and esp2 hd. Is this true? Man, I would have loved a hd black label bp2, now I'm sad to have seen it cause now, I won't buy this version, hoping a hd version comes, cause I play mostly on my ipad, and hd would be rad. Ah, well, guess I'll have to wait for bug princess 2 black label hd, or deathsmiles hd. Or maybe a dodonpachi hd black label. I liked those bullet patterns in bp2 black label, now I wish I had that version over the regular one.
Really unlikely, they have released ESPGaluda 2 and DoDonPachi Ressurection in HD because they were not universal, on the other hand, all Bug Princess are universal, therefore I really don't think that's going to happen. Most videos about Black Label are from the Xbox 360 port, which happens to be region free.
Yeah I do the same thing. I said it earlier in the thread, but Maniac and God modes are unplayable if you're trying to score. Original is worth the price of admission for me though. re: HD release - Yes, high res assets for both games exist, so it's possible. No one knows what they will do though. I've been knocked down to 4th on the leaderboards, still just one asshole with a hacked score (and he's at the top on every mode and stage) /sigh
They're just porting these games with existing graphics, and if you believe what they say, they are barely making a profit from that. They are certainly not going to create new retina resolution graphics for the game, and if they did they'd probably charge 40 or 50 bucks for it When did they do a high res release of BP1?
