Lunacy Star Second (2)

Nope, everything is still going fluid as shit.

Ew, no.

Fluid as hell.

Anyway.

Stage 1-1 is about twenty seconds finished, or halfway. I have to remind myself not to add more bullets, because how it is now may be too difficult for certain players.

Stage 1 will not have a midboss as a tradition throughout the LS series, I suppose, so Stage 1-1 will just fade into Stage 1-2, and the boss will appear at the end of then.

Idiot Box 2!

Ahaha, no.

The hitbox feels smaller than in LS1, as well. I had to try to get hit during the first enemy shots to test the "player death" script.

Oh, and invincibility is longer than two seconds in LS1. Try five whole seconds.

Five whole seconds every time you bomb as well. Ridiculous.

Scoring feels more fun here. But aggravating as well, because you lose two thirds of your multiplier on death DX

VVVVV SHOTTYPES DISCUSSION VVVVV

Homing bullets work. I didn't have to wrestle it in like last time, because the method for it is much more streamlined.

Shoot with the Gear Axis unfocused to use homing bullets.

I have to keep nerfing them though because they tear through everything like crazy.

Now they will deal 50, or 36 damage.

50 damage with less power, and 36 with more.

50 * 2 = 100 damage

36 * 4 = 144 damage

You fire about seven of them per second, or 1000 damage per second.

The blast missiles deal 117, or 83 damage.

117 * 2 = 234

83 * 5 = 415

About three per second or 1245 dps.

The Solar Hydra will use needles unfocused, and lasers focused.

Needles will be shot at about 10/second.

22 damage, 18 damage.

22 * 5 * 10 = 1100 dps

18 * 8 * 10 = 1440 dps

Lasers will be continuous. I'm thinking they will deal ten or nine damage per frame.

10 * 2 * 50 = 1000 dps

9 * 4 * 50 = 1800 dps

So the Solar Hydra will deal more damage with it's shots, but it's bomb will be much weaker than that of the Gear Axis.

The Gear Axis bomb should deal about 17,000, and the Solar Hydra about 11,000. This is compared to 28,000 and 21,000 in LS1. (The 6D4 can deal over 34,000!)

And the third player shot will be nothing short of odd in all respects.

But details on that later.

More screenshots? You will have to ask me later on that. I'm in the middle of English class :V

That's odd, it doesn't look like blogs posted with mini64 get added to the Activity feed.

(I don't think Mini64 has ever posted with Activity feed support.)
