Looks like the Cotton series is
pretty big. The Genesis game looks awesome so I might check that one out. Anyways, I was on the look out for some good quick and easy shmups and this was one of the recommendations. It's awesome! It took me two attempts, one of the mid bosses (the big tree) drained a ton of my lives. Apparently I was at the final boss on my first run though, haha. Even on normal with 3 lives, it's definitely easy. And my second time through I think I was fully powered by level 3. This is a rare one where you can actually bump into the walls which aids in its easiness.
It's a cute game with some cool little anime-fied cutscenes in between the levels. The standout feature here to me would easily be the insanely awesome graphics. Lots of lush environments and great looking backgrounds:
Earthworm Jim - still fuming at this haha, holy shit. Even if I've beaten this game countless times, it's a case of that not exactly making it any easier when I revisit it! So many instant death traps. Anyways, I grew up probably playing the SNES version the most, but also played the Genesis version a lot and I prefer that one. But I figured I'd give one of the CD versions a shot. Turns out the extra level here was kind of lame, though visually looked cool and had this eerie dark tune. The music was awesome, but I still prefer the crunchier Genesis OST.
The CD ending was absolutely amazing though. Hard ending.
Still love me some Earthworm Jim, but yeah you still have to be ready for some punishment. Maybe I'll try to beat 2 sometime soon, since I think I've only beaten that one... maybe once. I like it a lot too, but as I expressed in another thread recently, I finally realized I definitely like the first game quite a bit more. 2 got a bit too crazy with the experimentation and different level types.
Was going to add some normal picture here but I found this and thought I would share the nightmares with everyone:
Groovy!
Finally getting some nice texture to my HLTB profile.
