Donpachi (ARC) high score #4: 10,681,380 1-All, ended at 2-3


Yes! Got home tonight and did three runs of Donpachi and finally cleared the loop, setting a new high score at 10,681,380 and reaching stage 2-3, finally dying at the last blast of enemies before the end boss.

In two days, I added almost 5 mil to my score and moved myself from 69th on the Shmups scoreboard (one position away from the bottom) to 21st. Awesome. I have to say, I am really enjoying this game recently and the second loop is a good deal of fun. I hope that I can push this score up, get some good chains together (I already know a few places I think have 100+ chains hiding in them) and get into the top ten. I would have to beat stanski's score of 15,262,990 at 2-4 with a 103 chain. It would be quite an accomplishment and one that I think is within my grasp.

I get bonus like crazy!

Really, this is one of the more suprising accomplishments I have had - didn't take long, made it three stages into the second loop on the first try and just used basic rank management.

I wonder how hard the 2-All actually is...

Sounds like someone will find out pretty soon....

Ha! Yeah, that may take some time. It would be cool to beat a 2-loop DP game though.
