Keep in mind that you unlock the harder difficulties by 1cc'ing (that is, beat the game without getting a single game over) each difficulty. So if you beat normal mode there's more to do.

You mean The Conquistador (Jamestown TLB) or Kreutzer (HH TLB)?

I wouldn't be surprised if Hittogatta Happa surpassed Jamestown once I play it more (as Ether Vapor already has). I think Jamestown is a tad over-rated, to be honest.

It's a good game, has a great aesthetic and a pretty fun scoring system, but the bullet patterns and variety are a bit wanting. It's not that the bullet patterns aren't hard enough (there are like 6 difficulty settings, after all), they just kinda lack that extra bit of complexity (or depth) and variety (you dodge them all pretty much the same way) that make for a truly legendary shooter.

Now I know you could say "WELL JUST PLAY ON JUDGEMENT/ULTRA/GOD MODE THEN", but a good shmup shouldn't need to go all die-kill-you in order to have fun level design. I mean Dodonpachi and Gradius are fun on EVERY loop.

I also feel like the stages try a bit too hard to be gimmicky, but most of the gimmicks are over before you know it, and they don't really change the way you play very much. But that's just me.

Still a good game though, and I'm sure a lot of fans would disagree with me about what I just said. Subjectivity etc.
