19 Jul 2017 7:59		6553500 points is max score in this game. It can't be beat. Sad -_-
19 Jul 2017 21:00		The new leaderboard submits at the end of the game. You can't loop. Hitting max isn't the same. Though it's probably possible in one game if you're crazy about it.
19 Jul 2017 21:10		You can't get any more points, after u achieve 6553500 score. I tested this today, and i can't get any more of point's. That's why 13 people in leaderboard High Score have exactly this number of score 6553500.
20 Jul 2017 1:35		I know. The top two leaderboards on the list are retired now. Check the forum for details.
30 Jul 2017 3:00		i am excite
30 Jul 2017 21:14		A game's wall really isn't the ideal place for bug reports. Better to use the ticket system or just pm the dev. If you do use the wall to report bugs it's really ideal to delete your comment if the bug is fixed so it's not confusing to other users.
31 Jul 2017 3:11		If you're leaving old bug posts on game page walls you're misinforming the community. For anyone, please remove such posts if you read this.
31 Jul 2017 4:57		"I Have My Arms But I Must Scream" works and you're allowed to die. "Enemy Behind The Gates" also works now.
5 Aug 2017 17:42		No offense, but some of these 'new' achievements are really tedious. The whole game without crouching, even in stages 2&4 ? 'You have to jump and shoot before you land' ? Oo Seriously ? If anyone finds that it's a fun way to play the game, OK then.
9 Aug 2017 19:34		I didn't find it to be too hard. I enjoyed it cuz I had to break my habit. And you have plenty of lives to do it
10 Aug 2017 11:21		hehe, I agree 100% with you, except for the 'enjoy' part. ;-) Anyway, nice job to the one who makes these achievements, it must be a lot of time/work to create them.
26 Sep 2017 6:30		contra kicks ass
7 Apr 2018 17:21		i have US rom and J rom, and i cant work achievements. Can you help me?
19 Nov 2018 12:49		Many of the achievements better go to a bonus set...
23 Jan 2019 17:50		Really cool set, thanks for the job, dudes!
14 Apr 2019 10:57		10/10 for originality, 1/10 for stupidly high level of difficulty of some of the achievements, even on softcore mode.
4 Sep 2019 2:16		i have US rom and J rom, and i cant work achievements. Can you help me?
2 Apr 2020 18:49		Gunless didn't trigger even though I beat the game without picking anything up
30 Aug 2020 20:16		Mastered!
1 Nov 2020 23:27		guys i don't know if it's just me but i can't get the last acheivement 'the alien's lair challenge' no matter how i did,i did vertically nothing (i even did it with the laser),i did it horizontally (with the spread shot) nothing,what's the problem?
