[munchiaz]

This is going to be hard to make time for with the release of Dark Souls II. But i will def make plans to play it

[InfraMan]

Just curious, does anyone actually play with either of the two slower characters?

Man, they're just sooooooo ridiculously slow. 

[toymachine78]

I find that they are all equally fast... at dying.

damn I suck at this game.

Is it harder than Tatsujin?

Just got mine from the German, we'll see how I do in the few days left.

Gah!  I played through it tonight but didn't take a pic of my final score.  I plan on playing through it again this weekend anyway, so I'll have my camera on the ready then.

This game is all sorts of fun.

I can barely pass the 1st level without game overing on default settings... I surrender.

Play on easy... makes it a lot more fun if you're not super good at shooters.

I too like the slow green ship.  Though this quick playthrough I managed this score with the pink ship.  I'll try again later.

I really hope everyone is using default settings.  No real way to tell, but there's a big difference from easy and normal, plus the ability to change your extend.  Here's my score on normal default settings.  Got to the end of level 3.  I guess to make it all fun for everyone that easy should be the default settings.  This game really is a bitch even on normal mode.  I've had this game since it first came out and I have a hell of a time with it still.  Like others have said most of the ships are slow but I only like using the default character.

238,240 - default settings (stage 3)

Mine was at default settings.  I may try it again on easy though

[munchiaz]

I think its fine if people want to play on easy just to experience the game, and be a part of the discussion. But i think for high score, it should be based off default settings. Thats how it would work in an arcade, so i feel it should be the same for this

[geise]

In the official high score thread for Sapphire it says "easy" mode with default extend settings.  Hehe for this discussion though lets just put it all on easy mode with the 50k extend.  More fun for everyone!

I did the HS thread for default settings Normal/100K extend.  The difficulty just increases the bullet spreads and speed ifc. I remember hitting a brick wall at boss 4 last time a played Sapphire for a bit,
maybe a 1cc is possible on easy
