/vr/ - Retro Games

Played this because some anon on /vr/ said to another guy he couldn't beat it, so I thought I'd see if *I* couldn't beat it.
Well, after playing it twice, I couldn't beat it. I eventually figured out the charge up laser is really good against bosses, and so I got to the plant boss and lost my power-ups because bullshit design. Then I defeated the plant after continuing because it turned out even the basic gun does respectable damage.
Then I was appalled because the stage got really fast and the doors keep closing on you, you literally can't do it unpracticed without i-frames from some kind of shield (I'm guessing the 'full shield' would do the trick).
I'd enjoy the game more if it wasn't a laggy piece of shit that keeps killing you at random by lagging, but I guess it's good enough as far as shmups go.
