nice 1cc not gonna watch your replay but grats to you

Oh god he played Combatants. What a tragedy

Awesome !!!

"Speaking of checkpoints, dying in this game also resets THE ENTIRE STAGE."

I complained about that on UFO50's subreddit and people tried to tell me that's just how NES games were, seeing you call bullshit on this too makes me feel so fucking vindicated.

Glad someone else pointed out how surprisingly brutal this game is for having no checkpoints, like granted the stages are pretty short... but still its insane

Beyond the unforgiving checkpoints, which i can forgive to an extent given the stages are so short, I really like this games camera mechanic and I think it'd be cool to see it expanded upon or refined in another game

Actually, it's a bit of a secret, but there IS a way to practice any of the stages from the menu. It's a code for the terminal you can find

out of all the games this is the one I could imagine a patch from the devs making less punishing. it's SUCH a mean game, on a level NES games tended not to be, as you said

I appreciate UFO50 for being the hip new indie game while also avoiding modern trends and having some genuinely innovative ideas that don't feel like a gimmick. Though it's a shame it also seems to fall into a lot of the pitfalls of 80's console design which created problems that even arcade games have solved.

Reminds me of a mix between Irem's old Gekisha Boy and a konami msx shooter. The star waspir game looked pretty boring but this looks a whole lot more fun.That is, until I read your description. LMAO indie devs, for fuck's sake, they never get it right.

POST YOUR ELITE COMBATANTS GAMEPLAY

Nice

Wow they really did capture the NES style of gaming, all the way down to "here's a fuckass design choice that bewilders the mind" in the checkpoint system~

Wow, you're outstandingly good at this game

"Like checkpoint shmups didn't reset the entire stage. "
erm... but touhou 10-12..

I think I got all the secrets at least, but if I missed any feel free to let me know.
