X Multiply A.K.A. "Cursing in Swedish" - I might occasionally gotten somewhat frustrated...

For the #mamemeistershighscorekerfuffle - an arcade highscore compo hosted by @londonretrovideogames1473

Stage 4 got the better of me for a long time. I think the intro says it all.
After way too many attempts I finally made it. I lived to see stage 5 for about 5 seconds... Ugh!
It's a personal best though, so I'm quite pleased anyway.

00:00 - Cursing in Swedish
01:25 - Level 1
03:42 - Level 2
04:38 - Shot through arms?
06:51 - Level 3
10:13 - Level 4
15:03 - Level 5 (for 5 seconds...)

At level 2 (see chapters above) there's an enemy shot going through my shielding arms. That's not supposed to happen? Still it happens from time to time. Any X Multiply pro's out there that can explain why or it's just a bug?

All bosses I've encountered so far seems to have a sweet spot where they can't shoot you. I don't know if that holds true all the game through but it worked fine for the four first ones.

Played on my homemade, Monkey Island themed arcade cabinet, the MonkeyCadeCab™
