A pretty simple but likewisely awesome shooter, highly recommended!
Here are some tips for the game itself:

I just had the pleasure of fighting against THE ISO ONE:
http://www18.big.or.jp/~hikoza/Prod/ref/wf_flow.png
It seemed to have something to do with the boss getting lasers instead of rockets in level 2. I don't know what caused that, though. Would like to experience it again, I found it easier than the pattern that I usually fight against (HEKATONCHEIR).
Anyone know how to influence a certain growth pattern?
YES! Played against the CATASTROPHE in the final level.
Does anyone here even play the game anymore? I am determined to fill up the top 10 by myself otherwise.

How do you guys get such a high score so fast? dmpk2k had 7,7 mil at stage 12 with 9 deaths whereas I had 5,1 mil and 8 deaths at the same stage.
I never get any Rapid Bonuses either, am I doing something wrong? I always try to kill the boss as fast as possible.

I couldn't really tell you since I don't know how you play.
Record one of your games and then upload the .rec file on rapidshare.de or something, so we can have a look and comment! :)
http://onionknight.no-ip.org/boss01.rec
This is a pretty accurate depiction of how I play. I choose a side, usually the left side and destroy that along with the front. After that the boss becomes smaller and I can move around easier and shoot the first thing I can find.
Well, first of all: GJ on those fast movements!
Second, let me repeat a tip from >>1:
> AIM FOR THE JOINTS! That way you will destroy everything that is connected to the joint and not connected to the core.
What you are doing is the opposite of that, you're destroying the boss from the outside, bit by bit. If you want to do it much faster, destroy the vital joint parts near the core. If they explode, so will the bigger shit out there.
The disadvantage to this tactic, obviously, is letting yourself getting in danger for more firepower from the boss for a longer period of time (the big joints usually take longer than the extremities connected to them).
Yeah, I was always under the impression that the joints took longer time to beat since if you start shooting the core when he still has body parts will get you nowhere.
Didn't read >>1. orz.
Well, that method went a "little" better.

>I never get any Rapid Bonuses either,
Also, in my experience rapid bonuses are quite small and useless. Of course, I have three lolocausts above me in the high score, so I could be wrong.
Don't use tabs, they can never be trusted. Here's a version with tabs removed:

I finally got another chance to play this, but I've got some way to go yet before I get off the bottom of the highscore list. Apparently I die too much. Also, I tried contacting the author about possibilities to port this to the Mac, but I didn't get a reply. I guess I should try it in Japanese.

I'd say go for it and email him in Japanese.
The page states that he doesn't want to develop the game further,
but it has been saying that for a long time and during that time,
he released new patches, including the one that lets you set the
names of the bosses to English in the game options themselves.
I say it's worth another try.
Update: Got a reply, saying that he doesn't want to do an open-source version. I asked what he thinks of a closed-source port. No answer yet.

I would like to know the secret to getting above 2.000.000, if anyone would care to s-h-a-r-e
Regarding >>61, a mac port would be great, but a new game that blatantly rips off the concept would be nice also. If anyone had the time to do it, that is.
I just got the ISE-ONE too :p
Somehow it is the most calming one to play against, since though there are no weak sides there are no overly strong sides either
Scores fixed to look pretty. I also took the liberty of giving only one score per person.

I still call bullshit on >>69's score, though.
Two Questions:
1) How can I increase the defense parameter? I can't seem to get it to raise.
2) Is there a trick to getting lasers? It seems random to me.
