2 separate times I lost entire runs on the escape sequence, but I managed to finish it. I am not doing the no continue trophy, I'm not even sure I can with how much I died to the last boss.

thanks, I think you're right, game deserves about a 5/10. I really liked portions of it but the last boss is some incredible bullshit and losing 40 minutes a pop of playtime because the last boss enters its fourth form and just deletes you because you have no idea what to expect made me want to throw my laptop into a lake.

I’ve reached the escape sequence 4 times now but haven’t gotten through it yet. feel like it’s within reach though

1cc is never gonna happen lol

after the first stage the rest of them seem pretty easy by comparison. the side scrollers are a lot more fun. entering stage 5 now with 1 continue left, probably going to bite it here but im confident if i can get through stage 1, 2-4 is cake.

the bosses in this game are all super weak, the stage 3 boss was the only one that i didnt beat first try. it feels like if you have the right weapon available you just blast it apart (stage 4 with cluster bombs, stage 3 with ground missiles)

5 sucks. i despise shmups with enemies whose sole job is to collide with you. why even have the life system with weapon damage if youre gonna fill the place with falling rocks as well

the morning star weapon is so good though. i wish i had that earlier

this game is garbage and playing it feels like poo poo. its even WORSE than most snes shumps thanks to the ugly mode seven stages and the insane slowdown, feels worse than gradius 3 even.

i'm going to play air zonk instead to forget the 20 minutes i played of Alexhey.

Made it to stage 6 with three lives and no continues used. The problem is actually beating stage 6

The slowdown is cinematic and lets you dodge projectiles easier. Like Viewtiful Joe

More I play this the less I care for it. The vertical levels are an impressive technical gimmick but half baked gameplay wise. The horizontal ones are better but basically just equal to any other average SNES shmup.

I never die and think "oh poo poo that was an intense bullet pattern, almost made it though" it's always bumping into something I thought was part of the background or lame feeling stuff like that.

yeah, what is that?
why are the shmup times on that website so hosed up?

Blazing Lazers is listed as 2 hours, and it definitely actually takes 27 years

theyre usually indicating the length of like, a 1CC but even that's usually wrong. it's all self reported so you'd have to ask the 89 people who logged their Axelay playtime.
