Nenga Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Well with the dawn of the new Funorb forum I thought I would post about one of my favorite Funorb games, Star cannon. It's your basic Raiden game. It has four levels and honestly I have yet to beat it on medium. Usually that frustrates me on many games but it just seems to draw me back to try again.Anyway, questions: Favorite gun?usual order of powerups?most useful powerup?highest score?Highest game mode beaten on?most hated enemy?Most hated boss? [hide=My answers:]My favorite gun would be the helix laser (green one)I usually take the starting engine upgrade and then upgrade going back guns, side guns, engine, shield.My most useful powerup would be the extra guns. They are really important for using the Helix laser.My highest score was 500k getting to the 3rd boss on medium.I kinda stink at the game i've only beat it on easy.The most hated enemy for me would be the sweeper enemies (aka purple death shooters)the most hated boss for me would be the second one, so annoying.[/hide] Feel free to discuss the other shooters here as well. Sol-knight and Steller Shard would qualify as shooters also (atleast they do to Jagex). Ponies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decebal Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I used to like Starcannon, however, either it's my memory playing tricks on me, my computer, my skill, or jagex nerfing Starcannon, but now I do suck :( . Anyways... Favorite gun? Pulse. Hits anything, anywhere.usual order of powerups? Shields first. I swear though that Jagex slowed down the space ship, making the thrust power ups more useful, so I started collecting those.most useful powerup? Shield. I can't survive for 3 seconds till my shields recharge.highest score? 600k on Hard?Highest game mode beaten on? I am a free player, but highest game mode is Medium.most hated enemy? Interceptors are I think the name of them? The ones that send out a huge wave of bullets to one side of the map on Hard.Most hated boss? 2nd, just because it always tries to ram you when you fight it, and the fight goes by fast.

Troacctid Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I really like the pulse because it just hits everywhere. It gives you the freedom you need to concentrate on dodging. I don't know how you can stand the helix. It fires so slowly... Read my blog | Follow me on Twitter | Track my XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you can stand the helix. It fires so slowly...The pulse is probably the slowest firing gun actually. I like the concentration point. The Helix can curve to hit the enemies I don't directly target, but also can focus in on one point. I hate the pulse when you get to level 3 or something. It becomes really hard for me to tell between my shots and the enemies with so many on the screen. Ponies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that star cannon is a twitch game. If they ever bring out Orb central that's supposed to help with that. Ponies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orb central is supposed to give them more data storage capabilities and allow to games to run smoother. I'm not sure of the specs of it, just know that it's supposed to help. Ponies!

Nenga Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Well funorb started working for me again. Naturally the first game I played was star cannon. I got to the third boss with one life left. He appeared while other enemies were on the screen, which he never did before. I was pinned in a corner when I noticed him coming to ram me and take my last life. I got like 300k on that medium run. But I did get battleship pilot. Ponies!
