stage 6 is a goddamn nightmare. I can reliably clear 1-5 now with 1 or on one lucky try, no continues because the scores to get extra lives are generous. Stage 6 is super long, and I can barely get to the midboss without wasting all my extra credits lol...

Booted up for the first time, got through stage 1 without using any continues but stage 2 is kicking my rear end lol. I'm not good at shmups

Not sure if this is legal but you can stack up lives and credits on easy and carry them through when it loops back to stage one normal.

they obviously meant they were doing an easy run to learn the game, to prepare for the actual challenge of a no continue normal run. they even say that there are points where their strategy won't carry over.

Yep. I'm not stopping at easy. What do you take me for....

that seems too risky, i was trying that and they just cover too much space and the mace cant do damage quick enough to make it safe. it seems crazy to use the 3rd tier missile but maybe ill have to...

yeah honestly it's like 90% dumb luck. TLD's missile strategy is way better

Figured out the trick and I just beat Axelay on Normal with 1 life left but I got 2 lives by beating the last boss and then they push you into hard mode

If I played all week I might be able to 1CC this, but I won't, because I didn't like it very much.

Yea I'm doing better now, in the final gauntlet I think. 5th boss is a chump when you can finally read his attacks.

No offense but I knew that was a noob move from the beginning... never give up control for convenience. A gamer's principle

my experience with shmups is touhou games and they have deliberately uninteresting background art because the focus is on dodging poo poo and you don't wanna get distracted. the background art is pretty interesting in axelay so i'm blaming the art for me being bad basically.
