Title: RQ: Suwapyon's scoring and gameplay mechanics
Post by: shadowbringer on January 29, 2011, 05:09:00 AM

hello! It seems that the suwapyon thread (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,8119.0.html) is old enough that it shouldn't be posted on, so I'll start this one instead. Does anyone know what's the scoring and gameplay mechanics are? It seems that generally avoiding losing health (even if through deathbombs) is just as efficient (scoring-wise) than grazing. Also, what exactly is the damage reduction calculated, and what does the G items do? Also, how's health gained? Is there any bonuses for collecting surplus bombs or health? What's the Speed meter?

I think the G items are the ones that give you health. As for the speed meter, I think it's just an indication for how fast the screen is scrolling.

I have honestly no idea how you score high in this game.  :S

According to the readme, the damage reduction is 0.01 per 200 graze to a maximum of 0.50 at 10000 graze. As for scoring, apparently the formula for point item value is based on both your graze amount and your life meter, but the formula given in the readme seems to have a typo in it, so I'm not sure exactly how it's calculated.
