Anyone want to explain scoring techniques to me? I can't read shit in japanese!

I could but I'm certainly not doing it in this thread yet, lol. And not like I think I have the "right" answers, but I don't want to spill my selected stages and stage routes and items I buy, etc.

I can give some cryptic one word answers about scoring though (pretty unhelpful unless you already know them heh):
combo
hidden
speed
carry
flagpole
timing

You don't really want to milk in this game because some bird or something will come and pwn you.

The boss is impossible, 'nuff said... haven't seen any golden cocoons, and I've only seen the one key in the first area. Did they actually decide never to use that system again or are the secrets incredibly well hidden?

There's more keys. The secrets are pretty hidden in this game. It might not actually be a bad idea to credit feed with the goal to try to find as much as you can first.

I'm painfully rusty, as this crappy score shows, but I'm sure this'll at least double as the week goes on.

give me your eyes!!!

It's a shame (or not, since I've gotten to experience more of it), I've been practising with Lower Empire Earth and Mechanical City but I did some tests and Empire Marsh gives about 10,000 better in total and Starge Space gives 20-30,000 more assuming each boss is beaten.

It would be really interesting to see what scores people get after beating the first boss, seeing how different it may be over a short time. I average at around 32,000.

I'll submit a score for this game sometime this week.

I'm probably not going to spend all that much time with this week's game, and am submitting a score just to put something on the board in the first place.

I've gotten 40k, although I know I could do better. I don't milk at all either FWIW. There's a couple more things I need to test, but I think I have it pretty much down.

Insane luck, managed to get 4 hearts... which were completely necessary to kill the garlic guy in Daruma Empire (how can you dodge his jumps?), I hadn't even contemplated beating him so I lost the two lives I'd miraculously saved up very soon after.

I played around with enemies and abilities and found what must be the most efficient way of doing things but I still have no idea how you managed to get that score by that stage Enhansa. I hope you (or Breakdown probably) considers recording because it'd be fun to see, even if you release it after the week's over.

I suppose I'll just have to practise this stage now, a slight pain considering what needs to be done to get there.

Uh. From what little I saw playing this game, bosses were the easiest part.

The ice boss you can stand at the bottom of the ramp and just wait for him to attack. If it's the hand, jump. If he throws shit at you, shoot your leaf when the ski guys are going to hit you and then jump over the trailing rock. You kill him faster if you just shoot one ski guy at a time. Doesn't seem to make a difference to points.

Garlic guy you hit mid air before he lands, then instantly run to the other side of the room and stand beside where he is going to land. Hit him again before he is going to land and repeat.

Go bored and didn't bother seeing what the last guy did.

I should probably play this game more times than I have fingers on my hand... but I dun wanna. It's a sad day when a game actually makes me miss Cameltry...
At least I have Assassins Creed to play through now!
