At the default difficulty, weighing Arrange vs Original modes, learning something about auto-bomb in Arrange mode, finding out which ship I like best, and getting a new Arrange high score in the Steam version of Mushihimesama on PC!
My other shmups playlist: • smbhax's Shoot-'Em-Up adventures!
0:00 - start
0:50 - Arrange S
8:17 - Arrange W
12:28 - Original M
16:44 - Original W
23:49 - Original S
32:00 - Arrange S (2)
41:40 - Leaderboards & wrap!
S, the fastest but narrowest, is definitely the ship for me! = D And the narrow pattern doesn't matter so much in Arrange where you start with 6 Option ships, I suppose.
Hadn't realized that when you take a hit and your ship auto-bombs to save your life in Arrange mode, it drops ALL your bombs at once! : O That made me wonder whether I want to play Original mode instead, but ehh I still seem to like / do better in Arrange mode, so new Arrange bomb strat: manual bomb when scared until down to one bomb, then just concentrate on dodging, and let auto-bomb use that last one (I screwed this up once ; D).
Got to the stage 3 boss (barely ; DD) and nearly doubled my old Arrange high score!
The video is in this weird 1:1 ratio so it can be viewed slightly larger in vertical mode on phones while still consistently having a 1080p option; seems like if I make it any narrower, YouTube will usually only give it 720p playback, argh.
