fear my 1.5 cold run stage 3 burnout:
no miss on the first stage, tho!
i think if i do some more runs, i might just go for the 1.5 score attack mode for simplicity.
I haven't messed around with 1.5 much, but you inspired me to give it a try... wow, I need more practice!
tried it again tonight but i am absolutely exhausted. got about a quarter through the third stage and just died. lost all my ships in the second stage doing stupid stuff like not paying attention to my exits and not trying to corral the bugs.
EDIT: i think i like 1.5 a lot more than the original. just feels a little better to me, perhaps it's the color changes? i'm unsure if the music changed as well. the score attack mode is a great addition, too.
1.5 score attack basic mode went marginally better. at least i made it to the stage 3 boss. that's enough for me tonight.
