I noticed on the
MoviesToObsoleteFrom2004 page that someone is working on this game, and since I did some work on this a long time ago I thought I'd share what I know to the mystery TASer who is working on this:
1. First off, I'd like to point to the
WIP I posted. It beats about half the game, and is several seconds ahead. You can probably improve it further with some patience.
2. Pressing left+right when the screen is scrolling and you're standing at the right part of the screen will make the screen scroll a lot faster. See my WIP for this.
3. $0539 decides how long your weapon will last. By shooting, you can stop this timer, so you'll want to continue shooting if you want to keep the weapon for a boss later on.
4. When using a weapon that deals continuos damage, look carefully at th enemys' HP (stored at $032A) to make sure you deal as much damage as possible, since the amount of damage you deal with such as weapon vary greatly depending on your relative positions.
Otherwise, this game is mostly trial and error, so you'll just have to test different stragies.
Here are the RAM addresses I have:
0301 X|pos
0300 Y|pos
00F2 Screen|X|pos
030A HP
032A Enemy|1|HP
0321 Enemy|1|X|pos
x0512 Weapon
0539 Weapon|last
0311 Shot|X|pos
00F6 Screen|speed

06FD Level

030B Timer
03CA Dragon|HP
0305 Attack|on|3
