Easy Mode Shmups - Raging Blasters - Caravan Mode 1 mil - No Commentary
0No, I refuse to acknowledge this as being an introductory Shmup challenge. It's actually the first time I've touched the caravan mode (you get 3 minutes to score as high as possible, a typical thing in Shmups in the 80s and 90s) and I just scraped the 1 million barrier despite only losing one life.
But it's here you kind of understand the scoring system and also one of the weaknesses of the game. There are little blocks to keep the combo gauge going, but of course in the game itself this disappears because it's based on waves. Which is a shame that's kind of rectified in the next game, Moon Dancer, that is more of a continuous experience.
I'm guessing the idea would be that since it's only 3 minutes it's something you can just grind out... but still, for a brand new shmup player? Hmm...
