HSC Season 7 Game 3: Tail of Beta Lyrae

[Philip Price]

If anyone's bored I've started a discussion on ttobl on the main forum here. If you're playing the Homesoft Version it doesn't have the 'monkey balls' enabled and is therefore easier, so please try and avoid that one, bit late now I suppose

 

The game's well worth a blast holding down fire, forgetting about the score and getting all that tension out of the system!

1 day to go folks

 

I agree sometimes don't worry about the bean counters (i.e. the score) and just release the tension and go all out firing (But the explosions will be a b_tch)

Whew! This game is really hard! It's more methodical and slow for me....you have to take your time and be strategic about where you're going on the screen and what you're choosing to shoot and not shoot.

Yes, I didn't want my mindless shooter...to be mindless. I wanted to combine the need to react almost without thinking, but to have to think tactically and strategically. Also wanted to not make it a game that you just had a fixed set of terrain and objects (which becomes boring quick once you know where every thing is and thus never surprised at what might pop up)
