If you've found some strange error in there let me know right away so I can fix it..... hoping that's not the case.
Three days ago, I tried this for the first time, and today I've finally beaten it. I'm somewhat experienced in shmups (Yay Touhou), but it suddenly gets a lot ahrder if you don't have a pixels-sized hitboy and can't mvoe around nearly as fast =P
Anyway, awesome level. I liked the gas effect in the background, gave me Ikaruga vibes thanks to the colors. The boss isn't exactly pretty and some of the surrounding don't really seem polished, but the focus was the gameplay anyway and it didn't disappoint. You really captured the danmaku feel just right, especially with the last card- err, attack.
Any chance you'll make more like this in the future? I'd sure as hell play it =D
Yes, definitely will be more like this soon from me. Im such a big shmup fan that I cant NOT do it, haha.Quote:

Just as a teaser, I'll show what one of the patterns looks like:
[SPOILER]http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-12/901939/NS1.jpg[/SPOILER]
That is from a shmup game that I've been working on (it's been on hold lately though, cause Im lazy, and cause I got sucked into too many new games). Im replicating that exact pattern in LBP (except it'll come from above, not the side). Shouldnt be any trouble at all to make it fully work.
And note, the ugly purple brick is the boss in that section; it looks that way cause I have no art for it yet. That's just showing the hitboxes and such so I can work with it.
All of the attacks from the boss will be around that level of, uh, "intricate". Rave's attacks werent as intricate as I'd have liked, though they did all follow a particular theme. This one though, will be alot more interesting.
Like Rave, the fight will not include the Paintinator (except perhaps right at the end...). I intend for the method to reach the "brains" to be a bit less annoying than the platforms Rave uses, and also it'll take up more of the screen.... you'll have to do some climbing to reach these.
This one will be called "Danmaku Gruidae". Gonna take some time to build though. And I have something else Im working on before I really get going with that one (though that shouldnt take long).
And lastly, the final attack pattern should be very..... memorable.
Oh, and finally, thanks to NinjaMicWZ and Neverynnal for spotlighting this..... that couldnt be more awesome :)
After countless attempts I "FINALLY completed this accursed thing", as you put it, and made it to #7 on the leader board. You weren't the only one screaming at the TV, I dropped so many F-bombs I'm surprised the neighbors didn't report a noise complaint.
Seriously, that was torture. I was throwing pillows, flipping off the TV and pretty much acting like a monkey. If that pattern above is anything to go by I'll probably be slinging feces at Danmuku Gruidae.
Despite all this, it was a :star::star::star::star::star: effort and I'm looking forward to your next creation. I'll be sure to check your other levels.
... Well, seeing as how someone else necroed this... I also managed to complete it after a million tries four days ago... Yeah <_>

Well, my work here is done, then! *flies away*
Seriously though, congrats on taking that thing down. And same to RockSauron.
Gruidae finally nears completion (and, hoboy, THAT will be a unique fight), so that's finally coming soon. It'd have come alot sooner, but there were other levels and such I wanted to do first.
It'll also be a good deal more difficult than Rave is. Doesnt that just sound like fun?
