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.\n\nAs 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!\n\nScore: 267722\n\nSTAGE 5 NOTES\n\nFinal stage, final boss. Very challenging and fast-paced. You only have access to the 2nd boss if you don't continue. You also don't have access to it on stage practice, making this part hard to get right as you have to do the whole 5 stages in order to play it!\n\n0:52 (bomb) - I panicked and got stuck in the corner. Baaad.\n1:06 (bomb) - Staying in the middle was a bad idea, it's easier to stay on the right side (as long as you don't get stuck in the corner like at 0:52). Though I usually end up bombing anyway.\n1:33 (bomb) - I have not figured this one out yet. Not sure I will take the time to either. :)\n2:30 - I'm so glad I cleared that one! Very tricky as you only have a tiny circle zone to maneuver in. I usually end up bombing towards the middle-end because I back too much.\n3:10 (bomb) - Pure panic. There was no reason to bomb there. I was completely in the clear but my perception fooled me.\n3:52 (miss) - I completely messed up this whole phase. This often happens when I realize I'm doing a good run and I don't want to screw it up so I concentrate too much and end up forgetting the strategy. Right when the straight bullet lines disappear, you have to reposition yourself under the boss and dodge the remaining diamonds to keep attacking it, so you can clear this attack as quickly as possible. Instead I focus too much on staying alive, making the attack last forever and losing a life in the process. :( Right after missing I finally use the technique I was supposed to.\n4:15 + 4:20 (2 bombs) - I still don't know how to deal with this. Meh.\n5:23 (miss) - One of my favorite patterns! And I miss it by misreading going left instead of right! ARGH.
