It absolutely does a jig.

And yeah the round vulcan is really cool with how much control it gives you, but there's also some stuff it can't kill.

There used to be a museum of pre-video arcade games and one of the things they'd have there was games with scrolling backgrounds done with a projector shining through a rotating plastic tube, and that's basically what the Axelay backgrounds look like to me, a big looping cylinder. Once I learn what's actually part of the stage it's kinda cool.

hm. probably going to miss this one. this doesn't seem like it's a week that i can play without interruption and it looks like that would kill me in this game.

I use the tier 3 third row weapon that shoots missiles behind you, I only ever used it in this instance

my best strategy has been to start high, move around them when they show up, and then get to the center bottom of the screen and just dodge their attacks. after like 10 seconds they stop shooting and fly away

stage 5 boss down, I like how he sort of breaks apart but the slowdown is too much

Just beat the game for the first time. There are parts I'm not sure how I'll get through for the no continue challenge, because I brute forced them in my easy run. Like the lava boss, the doppelganger ships, and the stage 3 midboss. Also the final boss shoots out these itty bitty peas it's hard to see amid the explosions

seeing someone play this game on easy while I've been studying each stage, learning the patterns, the right weapons to use, and they come in here and say they beat the game

no no no. easy run means it wasn't a challenge for Joan

You cheated not only the game but yourself.

You didn't grow. You didn't improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing.

You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained.

It's sad that you don't know the difference of what true gamers are.

they obviously meant they were doing an easy run to learn the game, to prepare for the actual challenge of a no continue normal run. they even say that there are points where their strategy won't carry over.

that seems too risky, i was trying that and they just cover too much space and the mace cant do damage quick enough to make it safe. it seems crazy to use the 3rd tier missile but maybe ill have to...
