I played once and got to stage 3 or 4 but now when I play the game always crashes during gameplay on the first stage.
Did you make sure Game Center's loaded? I noticed with this and Bug Princess, if GC doesn't load, they'll inevitably crash.
Thought it was but maybe not. I tried with WiFi off and it didn't crash. Anyway to get more credits? Also I find it insanely hard to keep the hit counter going. I suck.
Well, the game is insanely hard, remember. Took me a couple of tries to 1CC Novice, and I cannot for the life of me get through Stage 5 on Normal at all at the moment. It's simply a hurricane of bullets, never mind a curtain, and it hurts my brain to think that anyone can weave through that and understand what they're doing. I have to dive backwards and forwards and hope for the best. I can reach the boss, but I don't have enough lives or hypers to beat it. I like the game, and don't regret buying it, but it's a bit of a weird port. As has been pointed out, most iOS players will simply never get the most out of this, what with the sky-high difficulty and the rigid rules... plus while I like Cave's touchscreen ports a lot I cannot see why you'd port the one game where the controls make playing it most effectively (working the scoring system) the hardest of all their back catalogue. So far I've 1CCd Mushihimesama on a few different settings and liked it a great deal, played Deathsmiles some but failed at the final boss every time (Jesus Christ, that final stage is a hell of a difficulty spike) and tried a bit of Espgaluda II and DDP Resurrection. Blissful Death is a reasonably solid game, but not my favourite by a long shot. I've never been that good at shooters, but I've played a lot of them (if I didn't mention it before, my nick should show I'm a Cave fan ) and this does feel more of a curiosity for the hardcore than a fully-fledged release. I don't feel cheated or anything like that - I'm happy to do what little I can to support the company - but I do think 'Thank Christ I never shelled out for this on import or anything like that' a bit.
Just beat the game for the first time... Yeah, I'm slow... Have had a LOT of games to catch up on and check out on my new iPad... Anyway... Just beat the game, and my score wasn't uploaded.... Anyone else have this problem? Do I need to be playing on a certain difficulty? Or... Did it just not register...?
I have the same problem on iPad 2, highs-score and achievements don´t show up in Gamecenter. Did a re-install, too, but no luck.

I haven't seen that problem, but I have noticed that open feint seems to be unreliable with this game. Meaning it fails to connect over 50% of the time (other games work fine). I did have achievement issues not registering when open feint failed to connect. I'm not sure if there is some dependency and if that may be causing your issue, but something you might want to see if it may be an issue for you as well.
Good to know. I play primarily in laser too, but I do find shot useful so that I can chip away at high hit point ships, while continuing to chain smaller ships.
Seciond loop Is it possible to access the second loop by playing on Novice? All you have to do is 1cc right?
lol i was thinking that turning on automatic bomb/hyper control would trigger auto use of hyper when you peak it so i turned it off. now thanks to the review on frontpage i tried this option and it uses hyper only on hit, well it should make some things easier in this game.
I'm really loving the super-high difficulty of this game. It's the hardest Cave shooter I've played so far. DDP and ESPII always seemed too easy to me, since you could always continue, but this one really makes you work. Still trying to beat the game on Novice, I had to give up on normal for now. DeathSmiles is still my favorite Cave title, but Blissful Death may be #2 for me.
Is the achievement/score not uploading only happening on Ipad2? Or on some ipad2 only? I was wondering if I should try the game on my ipod just to see if they uploaded correctly...

I love this game's simpler scoring mechanics compared to DDPR and ESPII, but I feel Bug Princess 1 is harder than this. Bug Princess 2 is even harder, but that goes without saying I suppose.
You are given continues for DDPBD as well... But like BP 1+2, you need to collect credits. You get 1 credit every 2 game overs.
