Introduction:
This is the latest shoot'em up by Cave. Cave is known for crazy bullet hell shoot'em up and this is no exception although this is by far the easiest Cave game that I've played.

Almost anyone should be able to get 930

just by playing the game multiple times. With some practice, you should be able to get 960G or 1000

. The two hardest achievements are to get 4 billion and 6 billion points in 2X mode.

Modes:
- X: New mode for Xbox 360.
- Arrange: Arranged version for Xbox 360. Tukaima can be thrown in this mode.
- Arcade: Original arcade version.

Controls:
-

: Lock shot
-

: Bomb

Scoring Strategy: Click here for a video

1. Shoot the enemies with Tukaima inside the enemy to get the scoring items.
2. Hit the power-up with the counter as close as possible to 10,000 and when the screen is full of enemy bullets.
3. During power-up, hit

to change blue shots into scoring items.
4. Try to get the items to appear in order to get back to 1000 at the end of the power-up.

Easiest way to get 6 billion points in X mode is to get as close to the right side of the screen as you can and get the items to get to 1000/10000 counter. Hit the power-up and keep repeating this process. You should have about 2 billion at the end of level 3, 4 billion at the end of level 5, and 7 billion when you meet the final boss. Best character to use is Follett.

Conclusion:
With the Tukiama Race, X2, and Arrange playthroughs you should get through most or all of the achievements.

ピジョン・ブラッドジルバを倒した。
(2)
To get to Pigeon Blood Jitterbug, you need to defeat every boss including Mad Teddy & Mad Bunny, and Satan Claws using a lock shot (hold X). This needs to be done without continuing. (needs verification as I continued to Satan Claws and still got to Pigeon Blood Jitterbug) Get the boss's health down to just a couple of ticks and then hold X to lock on and finish them off. Play all fields on level 1 and set the life/damage settings to make it easier.
俺の勝ちだ！

10
ピジョン・ブラッドジルバに倒された。
Same as above, but instead of defeating Pigeon Blood Jitterbug, get killed by him. For this you need to keep the damage level relatively high as it is nearly impossible to get killed to the point of game over during the fight if the enemy/bullet damage is set to 0. (There is a time limit after which Pigeon Blood Jitterbug is automatically defeated)

スコアが４０億点を超えた。
Go over 4b in score in 2X mode. See Passed 6b for tips.
いよいよもって６０億突破

40
スコアが６０億点を超えた。
The hardest achievement in the game. The key is to keep the counter up very high and use power-ups when the counter is close to 10,000. Blue bullets that come out during power-ups can be converted to items by pressing . Download a replay from the leaderboard and try to mimic the play as closely as possible. The best character to use is said to be Follett but each player has their own preference. For details on the scoring & the game systems, check the roadmap.
