Had a few games. Enjoying the more modern take on space invaders.

 

It's a pity at the start when the invaders are still black and white, that is isnt totally space invaderised like with your ship and the shields etc. Then turns everything color etc.

 

I like how each ship has a different special attack.

Loving the variety. From vertical scroller, to side scroller, to stationary schmup. :lol What odds Time Pilot is coming up next?.

 

I'm cursing wingtip's dice rolling skills, he uses his trusty D100 to choose the games I think, I'd like to examine it :lol three shooters in a row now marks my steadly fall off the podium :rolleyes Need to become better at shmups if I want to ever win this thing ! It's good though, as the best allrounder for the games usually comes out on top :)

 

BTW that's 10 games and 10 different winners, pretty sure that's a first for MGL's ?

Would be for sure, I don't remember so many different winners:cool:

 

I had 2 games of this tonight one on the keyboard then the joystick, anyone know if you can get an extra man, or why the large UFO at the top sometimes drops down when you hit it ?

I think it drops down cos it can hit the invaders and cause a little explosion.

OK guys, I will give you the tips I can think of for now, maybe a few more later as I play a bit more, really there are not too many tactics just shoot and dodge.

 

One thing I'm finding refreshing about this shooter after the last couple is not losing accumulated power ups :)

 

If you don't miss any enemies their score increases to 300ea, back down to 10 when you miss one. This is handy to get a few more points on the first two screens, but then it gets too hectic to worry about.

 

Most of you will have noticed that you can hold the button down for a power shot, these are good for bosses.

 

The plain looking spaceship not carrying a power up drops down when hit with the first shot, shoot it again and he explodes killing enemies around it.

 

The levels are varied and innovative, do a few continues and have a look at later levels.

Cheers for that I was wondering why I was scoring 300's on the first couple of screens:)

 

Nice score BTW what stage may I ask?

Just got 395k, had potential to smash my PB, had 153k after the first boss, got perfect on the first 3 challenge stages, but game over before the screens I usually get up to.

 

Not many posting scores?

 

That's it for me this week, off to work, I hope people enjoyed being attacked by lunar loonies :)

A few hours left for Spacies 95, an important game points-wise for the leading contenders, leading into the final game for MGL12. I'm fairly sure there's a couple of scores up sleeves here and there still :laugh:

 

Rat's looking pretty hard to beat at the moment though...
