although... as long as im playing dbo instead of fe i can kinda just exploit the enemy behavior instead of needing to capitalize on a single punish lol

well this works for now lol my execution is bad in every game so i looked for an easy, relatively consistent combo. i still drop the c1 link all the time...

tangentially i do really love this game, even with its bugs. the bomb bonus scoring is so scuffed it wraps back around to being beautiful imo and of course the soundtrack is top top tier

excerpt from the shmups wiki:

"The bonuses are 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000, 16000, 32000, 655371. Due to a bug, the bonus index is incremented twice by accident, so you only see 1000, 4000, 16000, 655371.

Due to yet another bug, the bonus index is incorrectly capped at 6 (classical off-by-one due to confusing max bounds and array element count), exposing the beginning of a different data table as the final bonus amount (leading to the last bonus being worth 655371)

shoutouts to the googly eye turrets on those ships from soukyugurentai

crop of a screenshot from soukyugurentai, showing many enemy ships with their turrets pointed in the player's direction. due to the overhead perspective, the turrets look like googly eyes

one of those ships with googly eye turrets but with lock on reticles over the turrets and the body of the ship, giving it the appearance of a funny face

is2g this happened completely by accident back while i was building out this scene because thats just how the origins of the sprites lined up when I pulled them into the scene and this was rj's response

its so cool how the industry has just decided that character controllers should be slow and unresponsive now. it doesnt need to be this way

romeo was pretty fun. lots of charming rough edges. even putting the style aside, i'm overall positive on it.
