#GRADIUS 2 BOSS WORDS SERIES#

The most well-known fact concerning the arcade version of Gradius III is the consensus among gamers about the extraordinary leap in difficulty from Gradius II, which isn’t actually that shabby in this regard. Were they made by the same team, perhaps? I wouldn’t doubt that. One of these intros is, in fact, very similar in style to the psychedelic intro to Mars Matrix on the Dreamcast. As far as I know these are the only ports of the last real arcade Gradiuses, wrapped in a package that’s enriched by a few nice tweaks and two distinct animated intros that work as a sweet homage to the series. This fantastic bundle doesn’t need any explanation as to what is inside that shiny blue-tinted CD.

As we entered the new millennium they were still capable of presenting shmup fans with stuff like Gradius III and IV for the Playstation 2.

' onclick='window.open(this.Lovers of the Gradius series owe themselves a great deal of thanks to the Konami of old. Not a too much of a good example of 'smooth transition.' but. Lastly have you seen my Cwazy Fantasy Shootew 2 game? Old video. I also keep the ship persistent across rooms. You can use blend transitions or no transitions. Oh yeah, invincibility time, I had a continuous string of deaths when I get respawned on a wall. So you may ignore my environmental deaths.

I have statements in my head saying: 'I will not hit this mountain till at least more than 1/4 of my ship's sprite is covered by it.' I assume its a bunch of boxes together to make the shape.Įnvironmental deaths from are mostly caused by my danmaku-shmup instincts. Gradius Advance/Generations/Galaxies had a super small hitbox, Gradius V had a danmaku-shmup-like hitbox, Gradius IV lets you squeeze through almost every crevice.įor environmental deaths, when I see uneven ground/non-square/non-box-like ground, I don't see it as exactly what it is. Which what I was atoned to in some Gradius games. When talking about hit detection, I prefer smaller hitboxes than sprites sizes. Hope you continuously work on this and refine it. Hope you don't take this negatively, but these are some immediate issues of this fan game that you need to take care of. You could simply make the whole level dissolve into space again or slowly scroll further back to space. Stage Transition, can you at least make it Gradius-like? AKA Continuous? You're probably planning it, but this is just a reminder. Yes the notches of the floor a more significant looking to fit through, the scrolling speed means you have to move at some point.Īlso, I tried hugging the top notches of the screen, I still got crushed by the thing.

It was at least fair(albeit trial and error at times) in Gradius Advanced/Galaxies/Generations, since your hitbox was super small and it gives you time to look for possible spots to stay(look at ACESpark's Boss Run of it).īut with the hitbox and the scrolling speed in this game, it doesn't give you that time. YOU KNOW WHAT BOTHERED ME? HIT DETECTION. It's those 'I thought we're done with that gimmick' moments. Committing it multiple times without a pattern nor subtly, is unforgivable. Moving Walls are fine but if they're not telegraphed well, then that's just cheap. Having Circle, and other irregular shapes makes hit detection awkward. I recommend the Hitboxes be mostly square/boxes. Some of the bosses don't telegraph attacks well, which leads to spam attacks.Īlso Moais are rendered useless when flying over just a pixel(or two) above, below, left and right behind they're mouths. My environmental deaths I had was uncountable.Īlso, those unavoidable deaths when going through a narrow halls with enemy spawners from behind.Īt least reduce to ship's hitbox to make up for cheap deaths. it is very likely Planet Core will catch you off-guard with its lasers. you will be sent to the game-over screen upon completing the game, since it's serving as a placeholder for the credits.

This will be removed in the next update so enjoy/hate it while you can.

there is currently infinite lives, since playtesting would be infuriating without them. If you die with a powerup selected, you can still use the powerup after you die, this will be corrected in beta. Among the things that need to be fixed are the Options, they have very buggy AI so I don't recommend using them (except maybe during the boss rush, since they work perfectly on that stage.) (It takes a long time to upload the file so I'd rather get all the bugs fixed by the same update rather than incremental updates.) These will all be fixed (hopefully) in the beta. This is only the alpha, as such there are still things that need fixing. II, Capsule Monster Cappuchino, and Centurion Coreīosses: Center Core, Rotating Wall, Gofer Important things to note/major bugs: Bosses: Zub Rush, Boost Core, Planet Core, Space Manbow, Death Mk.
