Another quite enjoyable no-name shoot 'em up.

 

It has two different ships, each with two different weapons. You can alternate between weapons by taking "change" pick-up. There's an autofire here, but you can achieve higher rate of fire by tapping the button EXCEPT for the alternate weapon of type B ship (autocannon) - it fires faster while holding the button, unless you're a button mashing god ;)

 

So for best results use type B ship folks, change the weapon to the alternate one as soon as possible and then just avoid the "change" pick-ups.

 

I think I also may have read something about differences in play depending on whether you're using P1 or P2 side. But I can't find this information now, and I didn't notice any such difference, so maybe I'm confusing it with some other game.

 

PS. It won't change anything in the standings, but was my last score for Mad Planets submitted after the deadline, VectorGamer? I always have trouble with US timezones.

You're latest Mad Planets score was submitted after the deadline

 

Ok, I see where the problem lies. When I google "est timezone" the first link gives me incorrect time - that's why I thought there was an hour left. Nevermind. I'll try not to submit scores at the last moment in future.

Hint: the "change" pick-up appears after each use of bomb, so if you want that autocannon badly, bomb right at the beginning of stage 1 and after each life loss.
