The super butterfly thingies in Futari stage 4 Maniac are my new worst enemy. I simply cannot do their first attack consistently and I'm reluctant to just autobomb it because there are 4 of them in the stage. Otherwise Maniac seems tough but just barely doable if I can get a lucky enough run. Thankfully the final stage is surprisingly easy so I'll just need to get lucky in stages 3 and 4.

I'm not really liking the score system at all though. It limits focus shot use too much and improvising is way too hard because you need to prepare in advance by letting the chain meter drop if you want to spawn those blue gems. Originals on the other hand have probably my favourite Cave scoring system.

1.5 or Black label?

If it's 1.5, I'll agree with you on the scoring system not being very good.

1.5. I haven't played BL enough to have a good opinion about it yet.

Subjective / tastes. I personally for instance, think the UFO scoring system is marvelous, but others disagree.

I haven't played UFO thoroughly yet (last time I played it was that trial released way back) and from what I gathered, the scoring system is pretty good, though trying to maximize score seems to be a lot riskier than usual.

You're essentially sacrificing (potential) resources to maximize score, or supergrazing (most notable in Stage x).

I wouldn't mind the UFO system if the extends and bombs were seperate from it. Score Extends and UFO system would have been fine .


As for 1.5 Maniac, I just didn't like the bar charging system compared to black label.

I have to agree, I prefer the bar in BL Maniac/God to the one in 1.5 Maniac; it's less difficult to raise, and that combined with the multiplier carrying over between stages means you can be more creative with your cashing in/cancelling. Honestly, all three modes seem improved in BL (unless you're purely after a survival challenge over scoring). Having said that, 1.5 Maniac is still good fun.

<Sapz> Where's Naut I need you guys to convince him that this game is actually good he thinks I'm crazy
<EX-beckett> you being crazy doesn't depend on the game being good or not
<Naut> them successfully convincing me that the game is good will not change my thoughts on your craziness
