A boss with four or five 'sides', rotating back and forth between them, and a couple extra weapon pods that spun around to help. What other kind of level designs have people been pondering/seeing? Ranouse made one like that: http://zetaflow.skylogic.ca/ZetaFlow.php?ID=1680 Although he did it 'by ha...

I presume you meant designers like ak 467? I beat the look alive singularity level quite easily by finding a very small deadzone where nothing hit along the lower edge somewhere along the middle. Levels that just have tons of weapons slopped onto them will always have loopholes like that one if you ...

Thx MD. Merry Christmas everybody :D

Edit: I made a level with the new singularities, they're pretty cool. The maze makers will love this new addition.

Thx, I had fun making it. I had thought about naming it something like Wormhole or Hyperspace tunnel but thought Water Ripple was better. For awhile people didn't rate it, I think the fact I said straight up that it used TwinRapids helped. It was surprisingly easy to beat too, especially concerning ...

Blind spot strikes again, lol. I used the bottom edge corner trick on some recent levels that feature following AI, missile launchers, and spreads and here was the result: http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/2379/cornerblindspotsfp5.jpg Shoot off any forward facing lasers like the one on the right had,...

In search of "higher forms" of Minimalism, I have created Dragon Kite using MD's core trick. I used 4 parts, 5 lasers, and the coreDouble shot. I was curious if a faster rate of fire with coreDouble would make it be competitive but more fair then the normal coreTwinRapid with its wider arc...

I hate those levels with one life as they invariably have either ship following lasers, uber tiny weapons you can't destroy, a completely enclosed core, or some other other nonsense like way too many weapons. Mission Impossible in the recent postings in one such "macho" level. I could almo...

There are percentages, yes. For display purposes, some fractional ratings are rounded I believe.

The first thing I like to do when playing that one is taking out the two sets of ship following single shots. Next I eliminate the moving arms, allowing me to line up shots on the switches more effectively. Eventually I work my way inside the radius of the rotating parts and park next to the core ti...

It works now :)

Too bad all those other wins didn't keep, as 0.1% from close to a 1000 plays seems a bit unrealistic considering that you have infinite lives.

Bravo, Swatzer, I knew it could be done.

My keys aren't as responsive as I would like sometimes otherwise I think I could done it too.

The beauty of that one though is that the spread shot can't me hit me there. There is another level (same author I think) called Mission impossible. It has rotation now I think but before it did I almost managed to use the edge trick since there was a gap next to the core I could sit in - read very ...

Funny you should mention that -- http://zetaflow.skylogic.ca/gallery.php?pagenum=14&orderBy=rating This level currently rated the highest is undefeated - it has a ton of plus marks in the title... with infinite lives, its possible to win. I played it again to make sure and won but the bug is sti...
