1) Use Your Arms
To shoot yourself through the space alien scum you will need following arms. Depending on the games situation you can change the actual wep by picking up the individual item since all of them has strong and weak points.
Hyperbeam
Maximizes the power of the on-board shots including hyper charge beam. This shot is very helpful to get read of a bunch of enemies at the same time and it also makes more damage on boss enemies.
Potency: Does a lot of damage to boss enemies, and takes many enemies to death on one blast.
Weakness: Slow to load.
Bouncinglaser
Warps two lasers with bouncing effect onto the environment. This bouncinglaser can be quite powerfull, when it’s used right. Especially cannons on the roof and ground will fear this laser. Not so recommend for boss encounters.
Potency: This shot can do a lot of damage to enemies when bouncing along the walls.
Weakness: Doesn’t harm boss enemies too much due to the 45° shooting angle.
X-Ray Fires a strong x-shaped laser onto the screen and has a minor bouncing abillity depending on the active power level. Use the enviroment with this x-ray shot to make this weapon even more dangerously. Maybe the strongest weapon in the game but seldom to find.
Potency: Very powerfull, especially with bouncing abbility active.
Weakness: Relative low shoot frequency and saldom to find.
Additionally to this fire power, you can get upgradable rockets and bombs. All in all this selection of weps in this is pretty straightforward and increases efficiency when used properly.
Next time some enemies will be introduced.
2) DUX
Hello and welcome to the DUX news blog.
I am René Hellwig and as you may already have heard I’m currently developing a 2D shooter for the Sega Dreamcast to be released this year on a physical disc.
I choosed the horizontal memorize type of shooting as personal preference and because the Dreamcast could easily need more of them. Border Down and Last Hope is just not enough. Speaking about Last Hope, you may know that I’m actually part of the NG:DEV.TEAM and that our next Neogeo shooting game is still in progress, so it will hopefully get an relase next year.
So let’s take a look at DUX.
