  Back from Gamescom, I'm a bit too tired for this old school shoot 'em up. But it's very cool, and it seems to have infinite continues, so I should be able to brute force it.

  An excellent way to begin the day. It turned out that the continue countdown was very important, and I should have continued and then exited the game from the level select screen, so I had to start over. Anyway, I reached the planet of 'Verminest', a nice reference to another Locomalito game. Or is it the other way around?

  This is so much fun and very difficult. I had trouble with Verminest, so I went the other way and found Rubinia and unlocked some more weapons, including a Laser primary weapon, and the Turriwall, a Turrican-style fire wall weapon.

  I think the Light special power is an item used in a special dark location, and not a weapon.

  For reference, because this still confuses me:
  • Green capsule: primary weapon up
  • Red capsule: secondary weapon up
  • Lighting bolt: +1 special power (smart bombs etc.)
  • Arrow: speed up

  The Galactic Inferno level is too difficult - I think I reached the final boss, but even getting there is extremely difficult.

  The Deep Space level can be used for grinding lives before trying Galactic Inferno again.

  No, wait, it can't, because you cannot replay levels. Dammit, I thought I had found a way to make this game a little bit easier.

  Argh! The Galactic Inferno is making me seethe with rage! I'm shaking my controller, punching my couch, and yell. I hate this level!

  I beat Galactic Inferno! It took me around 3 hours, but I finally did it! And now, some new levels to explore.
