On the Subject of Scoring

Posted by Taizen Chisou on Sept. 8, 2011, 4:38 p.m.

I would have posted this this morning, but my librarian shut me down because I was taking screenshots.

Certainly this is Calm Mode.

Ahem!

Anyway, I've went and modified the scoring system.

In short, I am now ZUN!

Your Max Bonus is capable of increasing in one of four ways:

Clearing a stage (+4)

Killing 16 enemies (+1)

(Multiply the above bonuses by 2 if Standard, 3 if Rage, 4 if Lunacy.)

Capturing attacks (+1 Ea/St, +2 Ra/Lu)

One Max Point is added for every 100 (Easy) bullets you graze, or 200 (Standard), or 300 or 400.

Bonus Time kills are multiplied not only by Bonus Time, but now by stage number!

In short, Stage 6 enemies with a Maxed Out Bonus Time (maybe around ~400) would earn you 1,800,000 points.

The Bonus Time Bonus itself would be worth 12,000,000.

@Twinsoul:

I'm sorry for not getting it to you earlier. I have a little obstacle in my life called 'school' :V

@Kilin:

If you would, when the fourth boss is done…

It's alright, man, jut send it my way soon, mate. I've already got a few ideas up my sleeve.

Also I really can't see much of a pattern or anything overly pretty in that Lunacy screenshot, but I'd imagine it looks much better in motion.

Game looks insane, in a good way.

I'm kind of hoping you're not asking for me to test the scoring system, because I've never really played bullet hells to score, unless it's to gain lives on a survival run. =|

Pretty much anything else, though.

@Panzer Knives were used to indicate direction.

They've since been replaced with rainbows.

@Steele Thanks! That's the intention :3

@Kilin No, not the scoring system, the boss.

Using Bonus Time, as mentioned previously, does double your progress towards extra lives, however.

Scoring as in games? oh.
