Shubi, give Somer a go!
Next weekend, I'll try to get to Somer Assault. I was busy with some movies this weekend. First I have to go through Smash TV, haven't done that in ages. I haven't touched Somer Assault since.. I don't know how long. Someone posted here about some people's reflexes getting worse with age, myself, I find some games easier now that I am older. I could be a bit more patient, and that's why.
I just remember the birthday trick on the game, to save that for a late boss, and that there was some debug screen, that let you have a flashing screen. Like an epilepsy test!
I feel Somer Assault is an overlooked game. Nice graphics, gameplay is very unique. However, as Nullity mentioned, the last boss is frustrating, from what I recall. I'm pretty sure I never beat the game, just got frustrated. If it's a game, where I can't have unlimited continues at the last boss, then I probably got frustrated enough at the last boss over time(s), that I just left it alone for a while. I still think highly of it, though.
