I’ll put a quick score up that I’m sure will be crushed:
Kaedesdisciple - stage 5 (damn boss) - 120,820 - MiSTer

This game is awesome. It has a great soundtrack, two boss sidekicks with absolute unfitting names and I feel like pressing a deadmans switch continuously when semi-auto firing. Stage selection, beginner friendly health bare and health restore...

That said: as usual I'm participating to make others feel better and suck at this game.
The 2nd stage seems easiest to me, the fairy sidekick is also a nice upgrade.

Most important question: How do you manage to get your screenshots before you die? I usually loose the last health, have the game over and never see my score again.

Also all gameplay tips are appreciated.

Ralfakick 43840 Stage 3 into 4 (like I beat the stage 3 boss). Analogue Pocket. No sure how much I will play this but I do like the PC Engine CDish cutscenes

ah yes - one has to have over 68K points to do that *cough* - will try to improve ;)
You can just game over, don’t continue, don’t press anything and wait for demo mode to kick in - your previous score will be on the right as shown in my post above. You don’t have to top the high score for this. :cool:

I really enjoyed this game. Simple gameplay, nice situational weapon usage, great technosoft soundtrack. Loved all the cutscenes too.

Great work @pulstar and @opt2not! I agree it's a really rad game, still gotta put in some more work on this one myself. About to fire it up again for a bit tonight.

Been trying to make up those 100 pts. I’ve collected all the items, haven’t missed any. I guess I gotta try to make sure I shoot everything. But other than that, I’m not sure how much more points I can actually get.
Been able to repeat my 1cc’s but am coming short on Beelzebub’s score.
