Relatives: Torn between My Home Daddy/Yamato and Galst Vic
And so, after polishing off that excellent platter of Yamato combo, Cride (or Bonnie) goes to the beach (hoping a decent interval of time has passed). Sadly, 'I can't swim...'so, one has to resign oneself to kicking invaders' asses. In, I must add, reasonably ingenious ways. And so, after setting out across the sea, you run into a hermit crab who, judging by the laundry, is a lady hermit crab. An ill-mannered invader knocks her shell up a bit, and runs off. In spite of a feeble I-didn't-do-it, the shell's occupant jumps on you, or rather, showers you with bullets.
Tips: The curtains of bullets may worry you since you can only move along the X-axis, but remember than you can shoot your way out of them! Use this fact to great advantage. The dear then retreats into her shell and lobs rows of fairly quick-descending octopi on you. She then reappears and starts juggling a lot of the same octopi, hurling them at you with a few shots. If you stay put in one place, since the octopi are being juggled, they will all run into your line of fire soon enough. It's quite easy to get lots of 300-point kills here. Things cycle a lot now, and eventually, when you get the time to hit the girl behind the screens of bullets and octopi:
Tsk, tsk. Violence against women. and crustaceans (the little white flags are funny, though). Still, the things Taito can do with the same old Space Invaders formula really surprises me. They could even squeeze out a manic Invaders game, but with invaders instead of bullets!
