Caravan Mode Tips

Caravan mode is a “score attack” sequence, in which the player is tasked with racking up as many points as possible within a fixed time limit. Relatively few shmups over the years have devoted themselves exclusively to this compressed, “bite-sized” play style, but a more substantial number have included so-called “caravan” modes as extras to complement a more traditional “main” game. The name is derived from a series of “Caravan Festival” tournaments held by Hudson Soft from 1985 to 1992; the most prominently-featured titles at those events, the Star Soldier games, are appropriately the best-known “caravan” shmups" - BulletMagnet of racketboy.com

• Kill as many enemies as possible, as fast as you can
  
• Aggression is the name of the game. Stay as high on the screen as you possibly can
  
• Don't die! If you die, you sacrifice precious seconds in the only 2-min score attack. You also get an extra bonus for dying twice or less (never dying obviously being the highest bonus)
  
• Mix both shot-types depending on the enemy. Use your spread shot for a slight movement speed boost to get out of sticky situations
  
• Learn/memorize where each enemy appears. Repetition is key for achieving high scores
  
• Contrary to what some believe, collecting bullet souls does not affect your score
  
• See those little green squares? Destroy them.
  
• There are also MANY hidden bonuses in Caravan Mode.

Today's update includes:

• Fixed an issue where the default voice volume was too loud
  
• A fix to the nearly unobtainable "Destruction of Twin Mawar" achievement in Caravan Mode.
  

Thank you for your patience as we continue to diagnose and fix the reported issues. Stay tuned for more updates!
