Gaiapolis (Arcade) 1 Credit Clear with Fairy (Neomosc Route | Default Difficulty)
Great game with amazing presentation, music and atmosphere. Highly recommend it as the variety of the stages and bosses is very engaging. Except the 3 mages you fight before the last battle, the difficulty is very fair if you know what you are doing.
The biggest flaw in this game are the inputs which result in many accidental dashes and 360 attacks, leaving you open to enemy attacks. Some hitboxes are also jank so it can be frustrating having to deal with it when going for a clear.
Shoutouts to Janet, Michaelpf, Pasky, Kiwi and Baf for their videos. They helped a lot learning the basics and routing the bosses.
Played on MAME 0.254.
