RESURRECTION |
| When you've lost your last ship it will explode leaving many power-up icons as well as a full bomb icon before displaying the Continue screen. And as it is possible to still generate points during your ship's death animation, expert players have utilised a technique to exploit this. An example of this would be if you have a score of 3.95 million with no extra ships, unleash a Hadou Cannon against a boss, and then suicide. During the death animation of your ship, your score will be ticking up from the damage caused by the Hadou Cannon. And if the score reaches four million before your ship actually explodes, you will be able to collect a full bomb icon, as well as the 20 small fragments that you would normally receive. However, if you time it wrong, and haven't generated the extend before the ship explodes then it will be GAMEOVER. So this is quite an expert strategy. |
