Finally beat the damn boss!!! Had one life left and was basically shooting my lazer like a blind mad man when the bugger finally went down! Don't know if my heart can handle hard mode after that!!!
Ive been absolutely loving this over the weekend. All the different unlockable colour pallets are a brilliant feature Fantastic game and would recommend to anyone who grew up playing games in the 80's as the retro'ness of it is pure nostalgia.
Really? Seems odd that would be a gun pickup but I guess getting back to default is the only way. I'm really loving the Mars palette more than Grandma now.
I can't get past 2-1, so I guess that means I kinda suck...but I'm loving it. I wish there was a way to keep the corpse eater powerup forever. This is my go to toilet game right now. I'm not crazy about the art...I love pixel art but prefer it to be at least 32bit, I guess. More detail would be appreciated, but it's not a deal breaker with this game. I really can't play with any of the monotone color palettes though, I kinda hate them. Not a deal breaker though. Grandma, and the original are my favorite so far. But I haven't gotten past grandma yet, I'll be happy if there's some that use more than 3 colors. That little turtle is my buddy.
There are 4 levels and then level 5 is a mental boss that basically is like going through the 4 levels again on crack. When you beat him it unlocks hard mode. Which is damn hard!!!!
can't stop playing, but can't get past 2-2 and don't even get there on a regular basis. The "floaty" style helps but this is hard.
The best style by far for me is the arm spin style. After a few levels you will have more health and gun charge than you know what to do with!
The boss is not a challenge, it's an insta-death. I lost 6 lives on the iPad 3 when playing at a snail-slow pace, so go imagine on a full speed device...
Ok had some time to play this. I mean, I get it, but all I do is fall for a couple levels then die. The action is too fast sometimes to really know where I'm going so I take a hit every once in awhile. You take 4 hits and your dead, starting over from the beginning? Kind of a bummer. Not really sure how people are beating all kinds of stages when you can't really gain back hits too often. I play, It's pretty fun, then I die. 10 or so runs later ok I got to level 1-3, then died again. Start over? Not really any point, there's no progression or anything. I guess 3 bucks for an hour or so of fun is fine but that's pretty much the game for me. No motivation to play, I'm just gonna die and have to start over. Donno. I guess this is for the super hexagon crowd who loved that game but I couldn't stand it.
i generally dislike twitchy games, especially on mobile. but this one just feels so good. i don't think you have be particularly hardcore to enjoy it. it takes a couple games to decode the things going on. bounce on white. shoot at red. get combos. what are you guys using for a combo strategy? i've been trying to break combos as soon as they reach 25 so i get all the bonuses as often as possible. i tried for a large combo, and over 100 seemed to give the same rewards. i'm curious if anyone has gotten crazy combos that possibly give better rewards.
Hello everyone Hi guys, just made an account. So I've been playing since it came out last week on my iPod Touch 5. One of the App Store reviews I read before deciding to buy mentioned that the game basically had so much old school spirit that it even simulated that old school NES-style slowdown when too many sprites were on screen. So I thoguht nothing of said slowdowns until I finally watched somebody else play on YouTube today and it seemed that they stayed at 60fps the whole time. I'm curious, is anybody else playing on the same device and have you encountered anything similar? It's not always slow, like I've read iPad 3's or whatever are, it's only after I bounce off enemies and there's a bunch of stuff on screen, but then when I'm falling and such it's totally fast. I've been loving the game, made it to the boss for the first time today, but now my experience is just a little darkened by thinking I'm not playing at the true breakneck nonstop pace the game is supposed to be, that I'm sort of accidentally cheating. Similar experiences or thoughts? Oh, one last thing, I found an intereesting new trick today, if you run into a shuffling worm guy in the first world, instead of taking a life, it bounces you up on him. It's a sometimes useful way to start a combo.
I've started doing the "landing right at or just past 25" thing too to maximize my stats. Although, sometimes it's hard to stop, even though it's not beneficial. It's that damn ego!
There is progressions in the style you can choose and you can upgrade your health and ammunition as you play longer sessions!
