First off, and this may be the most shocking: There are only two difficulties.

The "Original" mode will be piss-easy.

At least, I will find it so.

The "Arrange" / "Lunacy" mode will not be easy.

The scoring system will be based on a multiplier that you raise by collecting little orbs that the enemies drop and by collecting stars.

The multiplier stops at 99.99.

Charge accumulates automatically.

Spend charge to start Overdrive, in which grazing bullets produces multipliers and destroyed enemies drop Stars instead of Points.

Extends are based on score. First extend, 120,000,000, second extend, 800,000,000. And then it gets worse after that. On the bright side, scoring is inflated as fuck in this game.

(I'm capping scores at 21,000,000,000 however)

Dying halves charge and thirds your multiplier.

Stages are split up into substages.

There are five stages with bosses at the end- stages 1 through 4 have two sections and stages 5 and Extra have three.

Game Overing gives you a chance to start over at the beginning of the substage.

You will lose all your points however.

There will be no Spell Card System, instead with boss phase cycles.

The tradeoff is that if you complete the requirements for a Spell Card Capture (no miss, no bomb,) all deleted bullets produce stars.

Shot power will be in place. It is out of 100% and you amass more firepower every 25%.

Dying causes you to lose 25% power.

The bullets in this game will be more sparse, but will in general travel faster.

I'm aiming for about a 25 minute playtime (LS1 was around 32 minutes)

There will not be any extra amenities in the game other than the Extra Stage.

This includes the "stage practice" and "attack practice" and "replays" in Lunacy Star 1.

You get five bombs per life.

I'll add to this as I come up with more.

Suggestions? Yes please.
