) I noticed an upload of this Phoenix clone... so I tried it out, and:1. it looks like marathon bonanza at first screen (yellow eagles), when you realize you have even faster shooting than at second screen (purple eagles)
2. it still looks too easy when at third and fourth screen (phoenixes) you STILL have ultrafast shooting
3. it looks even better when at 2-2 the purple eagles come down for the classic 200k bonus pattern...
But then the surprises begin
you don't seem to be able to squeeze the 200k no matter what (could anyone try it out ?) the 2nd stage mothership comes down VERY fast. If you don't get to blow it up and you're crushed by it, you're sent back to the previous screen but with no phoenixes, then back to the mothership stage - which is now slow as as 1st stage, and it's relatively easy to make it through the 3rd stage mothership comes down EVEN FASTER.On my current best (a whopping 17370, duh) I managed to get past the 2nd stage mothership by shooting fast the rolling belt while slightly moving to the right (I've seen nibbler69 do that on one of the nasty timer-based clones
).I'd be curious to know whether someone can get 200k there...
