This time, it's a fixed shooter. No scrolling background, and enemies enter in phases with Galaga-like flight paths.

There's a Modern mode with more firepower on your end, a more manic-level of bullets, no enemy collision, and a bizarro scoring system, as well as a much less fill-the-screen Classic mode. Modern mode takes waaay too long to really kick off, if you ask me, but Classic is pretty cool. You get a little tractor beam to pull in enemies and use them as options.

Have you been able to get it to work with a control pad? Having some issues here...

No problems at all with a dual shock -> USB adapter here.

That's what I'm using too... hmm.

edit: A reboot seems to have fixed it. This game is good, especially on modern past about level 20.

If modern mode seems dull, it might have to do with how effectively you're using the provacator beam. The screen should be filled with bullets a couple phases in for big points.

My current high is ~390 million ending at phase 117, but Mr MonkeyMan is kicking ass with just under a billion. There's lots of action in later levels, it's great stuff.

Man, modern mode doesn't heat up until like phase 25. Fuck that.

That's what I was thinking. There's such a huge ramp up around 25-26, but...

I had no clue that the provacator beam caused more bullets until a little bit ago.

the who does what now?

+ MODERN mode - Provocation beam
The provocation beam forces an enemy to fire more bullets and
you can earn more bullet multiplier bonus.
You have to release the shot button to fire the provocation beam.

Granted, I'm still not sure exactly how it works. Sometimes I notice it, sometimes I don't.
