eXceed3rd -JADE PENETRATE- Stage 4/5 ORIGINAL 4 Miss Clear
Here's an obscure but fun little shoot-em-up I've been messing with lately, despite its weird name. The patterns are enjoyable with a fine-tuned complexity and visual appeal.
As always, it's hard to consistently clear all sequences of the game, so here's one of my better runs at it. I did some mistakes I don't usually do, but I compensated by acing a couple of sequences I usually have more trouble with. Enjoy!
Score: 267722
STAGE 4 NOTES
This is pretty much where the no miss/bomb ends. I gotta admit I did not practice stage enough in this game. Tough patterns, tough execution, the mid-boss is quite the bastard and the last 2 boss attacks are a pain in the... Still fun though!
0:25 (bomb) - Forgot to stream back when there was an opening. -_-
1:00 (miss) - I hate this mid-boss so much. Pretty much everything makes this pattern hard to read. Here I transition almost correctly into the second phase, only to bump in a bullet of the last phase...
2:16 (bomb) - I did not pick the correct lane, dammit! :)
2:58 (bomb) - A tricky pattern, I usually get it right but bombing here is not unusual either.
3:30 (bomb) - I did not play for a while when doing this run, I forgot my strategy to stream alternately left-right while staying in the middle, so instead I get stuck streaming all the way to the right. And that phase was almost done too. -_-
3:50 (bomb+miss) - It's rare for me to clear this without bombing once. I think my strategy is good, but the execution is hard to do. There might be a better way.
