Pretty easy game to clear without continues (especially with Ame-no-Uzume and Hotaru).
However score attack seems great unless theres some big milking/leeching exploit in a stage. Go fast, kill stuff, get extra items while not getting hit or using bombs etc.
There's even a trophy for carrying 10 extra lives which would give a 500k point bonus at the end of the game.

The developer has been working on a 3D sequel with 6 degrees of freedom for almost a decade (think Armored Core 6, Ace Combat etc. but with these kind of ships).

![KILL KNIGHT [Sever, archblight]: Full clear 4,966,011 (1.0.0, V-V-II-V-II)
Full game mode set to lower difficulty but rearranged with nastier enemy spawns than any of the stage by stage difficulties. This heavy weapon is pretty silly. Im looking forward to messing with the sniper and shotgun more later KILL KNIGHT [Sever, archblight]: Full clear 4,966,011 (1.0.0, V-V-II-V-II)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_qewH0AG3SE/mqdefault.jpg)
