You move the ship around the screen, blasting waves of enemies, as is typical of the genre. The game begins as a horizontal shmup, with Selena’s ship travelling toward the planet of The Space Prince, accompanied by her robotic companion, Balzac, who hovers near her ship. Those that did provide a story generally only offered motivation for the hero of the tale to fight his or her (but usually his) way through countless enemies.Įverything here, from the story, to the visuals, to the scantily-clad heroine is inspired by these action-based titles, offering colorful worlds, enemies in need of termination, and a strong but unnecessarily well-endowed heroine wrapped in revealing skin-tight spandex. ![]() In games of this era, story almost always took a backseat to the action. You can still use the "continue" to continue where you left off, so you're allowed to have a pause and close the game whenever needed though.As far as plots go, it’s about as throwaway as they come, although this was to some degree intentional, as the developer modeled the game after computer-based action titles of the late 80’s and early 90’s. So in other words in order to get the full-set of either upgrades (weapons or cosmetics/health) alongside getting the good-ending/extra-end-stage, you'll need to play through from that stage 1 to stage 6. Yeah, the upgrades and the Balsaz rescues are "save"-specific and you only have one which gets overwritten during level-select in which case the game considers it to be a "new game" also. What do I do with the coins? I found a locked gate near the top of the first level - is it related? Kalirion a écrit :Wait, is that what the "S" coins do then? Will replaying levels on level select work for unlocking the ending? I found the "S" coin in the first level, but didn't know what to do with it, so went and killed the plant monster without seeing any sign of the drone dude. So for example if you unlock levels 1-4 and buy an upgrade during level 1, you won't have it if you use level select to play level 3 without playing level 2 with that upgrade first (and hopefully buy an additional upgrade there.) I assume the same holds for rescuing the drones. So where is the drone dude? And can Level Select be used to rescue him and buy stuff from the shops or do these need to be done in a full playthrough from start to finish without level select?Įdit2: Figured out by testing - if you get an upgrade during a level select, it can only be accessed if you play the next level. What do I do with the coins? I found a locked gate near the top of the first level - is it related?Įdit: Ok, based on other posts those are apparently the shops. Wait, is that what the "S" coins do then? Will replaying levels on level select work for unlocking the ending? I found the "S" coin in the first level, but didn't know what to do with it, so went and killed the plant monster without seeing any sign of the drone dude. ((Fixed the typo on previous post, since I found the End-screen-text within the gamefiles alongside with the credits that's a lot of names credited.)) If I did remember something incorrectly, feel free to correct me. Hardcore: Starting Lives 1, Checkpoints don't heal Normal: Enemies more resilient (+1-hit required), Checkpoints Heal, Lives Heal and give extra life, starting lives 9 Easy: Unlimited Lives, Checkpoints Heal, Lives Heal, almost all enemies die with a single shot Main differences between difficulties are following: So make sure to beat the stage once you get an upgrade. ![]() ![]() But the spent money is lost and won't be refunded if you are unable to complete the stage after purchasing an upgrade. This both works for and against you: You can keep amassing a sum without a worry of losing it for next upgrade. I for example used numerous amounts of continues on Final Zone while still retaining the upgrades (but lives always were reseted back to 1, of course).Īlso your score / cash won't be reseted after using a continue. I got an upgrade on zone 1, using continue on zone 2 and I still keep the upgrade. The game is (fortunately) surprisingly forgiving since there's unlimited amount of continues.Īlso if you had completed a stage/zone with an upgrade, you'll keep it regardless how many continues you use afterwardsĮ.G. If you're achievement hunting, I recommend beating the game on Hardcore with full weapon-upgrade-set, since that mode unlocks achievement for all difficulties.
