Great score with Ian's stream tonight on Scramble Spirits #mastersystemchallenge 5,032,750! Inspired I achieved 3839150. I started recording after completing once but there is no game sound as I was listening to a talk while playing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uiQ4aOsC4g |

 Pain to get it below the attachment file size limit but should be clear if you click on it. Glad I didn't ruin everyone's fun by spotting the challenge when it opened! |

View AttachmentPain to get it below the attachment file size limit but should be clear if you click on it. Glad I didn't ruin everyone's fun by spotting the challenge when it opened! Insane! How many loops did that take? Did you use any tricks or was it your pure shmup skill? |

Well I do play a lot of shmups much harder than this one, but experience factors in too - had this as a kid so remember enemy placement and know the best places to bomb. The key really is to keep those small planes alive and use them as bombs when you need it - or to wipe a boss out quickly
I got the counter stop right at the end of loop 4, while loop 2 has faster bullets it doesn't get any harder after that. Took a little over an hour. Reckon you can get there either stage 4 or 5 in loop 4 - I fluffed up on the bonus stages a lot, 100% nets you a 100k bonus (200k total score from it) so I missed probably 600k. I don't think bosses time out, so infinite milking of stage 3 or stage 6 bosses can be done - but it'd take ages (and the stage 3 boss has those stressful homing shots if you don't speed kill it)

I've been keeping an eye on it, will join in when I can - limited to games I own (itself a harsh and unforgiving process - I Marie Kondo'd my games collection a decade ago) as I don't have anything to emulate on (or indeed know how to safely obtain ROMs these days anyway).
Downside of course being when I do join in, it'll be on games I've spent plenty if time with - don't have any more counter-stops I can pull out at least!!
