There are 15 levels in this sucker if i remember correctly but it definately rewards replay. I used to find it hard to get past level 3 but these days I almost always do the first 3 levels without dying.

I enjoy Iron for the huge number of rivets to blow up at the start of the level and rack up points.

I really hope we get Hunter's Moon on the VC soon. Uridium's graphics always remind me of it.

I always get into tension at the second half of that minigame. It's mindblowing. I almost f*up everytime.

Here are some tips:

1. Pay attention!!!!!!!! ..and don't fly too fast!!!!

2. If you hear the enemy alarm sound, do a somersault or two - you are invincible when doing a somersault! That's the only chance to avoid these cheap HJ%GZJ$RFF&VK!

3. Most of the time, steer your Manta on the side. Then you're just 1/3 of the size and this reduces the chances to get blown blow up by enemy fire from 100% to 33.333%. Use it in the levels you already know by heart.
Also, you have to use it in the Iron stage I think to get past the last barrier! The passage is too narrow for your fighter to fit through in the normal position. You should get used to the side position anyway because in the later stages you absolutely need it.

4. The little things you can blow up on the dreadnoughts surfaces don't give much points. It's always better to blow up complete enemy convoys and doing a perfect score in the minigame. But in case of many destructable objects in one spot, like you mentioned (in the Iron stage), it's a good thing to blast them all away What I mean is, don't fiddle around with the difficult to reach objects, 10 or 20 points isn't worth a life.

5. Rack up extra points when clearing a stage. When the dreadnought explodes you are invincible to everything, so keep in mind to blast away the structures on the ship that you couldn't reach before.

Yeah, 15 stages. And when you beat the last one, you get a little message and it starts all over again, all over again, all over again, more points, more points, more points.

WHAT IS HUNTER'S MOOOOOON?????? ?

Be warned though that you might dismiss it as crap the first time you play it. It initially seems so difficult to even last a few seconds. But there is a very deep game that rewards reflexes and learning the layout of the levels.

Once you beat a level though, you usually find you can nearly always beat it the next time. Now if I could only beat that damn Iron level!

What spread???? The world knows it's a KILLERGAME!!
Someone who dismisses it as crap, I dismiss as crap.
Get 50.000 points and you're a respectable gamer, otherwise no!

Also updated the list.

You have to ask yourself, am I really hard to the core? Is there no heart beating in my chest?
Am I up for the frustration, the stress and the tension? Can I try harder and harder and harder?
Am I going to be a master? Or am I one of the 99% casual type human being gamers?
Do I have the force or do I have a fart?

I'm not exaggerating! If you don't press the power button 3-5 seconds after you press the start button you have good chances!
