I think it's not a too bad score. You were at least able to beat Rtkiii's, Adultery's and my score.

Things to remember when trying to achieve a really high score on DoDonPachi:

- probably the biggest point getter of everything, The Hit Count. Don't ignore it. Try whatever it takes to delay blasting enemies on a smooth and steady pace.

- rely on your natural recall skills to pick up the hidden bees(13 per board). The screen is moving very slow on DDP, hence giving you more than enough time to locate, laser then finally retrieve your hidden gems.

Try to laser the bosses as much as possible. You can get a hit count accumulating at the Boss of each board.

Carrying the Max amount of bombs and then picking up a B item will give you over 10000 points a second. The multiplier increases by 1 every bomb picked up thereafter. These programmers give you incentive NOT to use bombs. Huge incentive. I think this separates the men from the boys.

- if you do decide to use bombs, I suggest you use one when the Bosses power guage is in the red. It must be a laser bomb though. Watch your hit count rise at blazing speeds while using this trick.

- kill the green, fat aliens at close range and get a bonus star worth 10000.

- on Boss 1, try to laser the two explosive parts that rotate in a circle. Blow them up while they are spinning and spawn 10 stars for the feat.

- stay alive the entire duration of the first board and receive a cool 200k. This jumps 100 k for subsequent boards.

Remember, the hitbox is the skull in the middle of the ship. Bullets can pass right through you without harm, as long as no pixels are shared with the skull.

Ha-haaaaaaaa....

BAM - 5,341,290

Now, if I could just beat that third boss, I might be able to jump up another spot.

I also tried some of the newer versions of this game. They're even more brutal.

Grr...

@ millerbrad

The third boss is nothing compared to Boss 4,5 and 6. I have confidence if you give it a few more goes you will pass the games halfway point.

Good luck!

[Mame Offender]

Another jerk move. Hehe.

I couldn't resist.

Ok im def going to improve on this

[hansolo77]

With that score, you completely bumped me off the board!  I don't mind, because it's showing you're enthusiastic and I'd prefer that any day!

the second attack on the fourth boss is impossible to see coming

[hansolo77]

Man, you're pretty close to 1 year since your last submission (or any from anybody else....<cough>).  Also, removal of "TIF" scores meant adding me back to the Top Ten.  Yay me!
