Just look on youtube for: Giga Wing [All Stage 1] by crithit5000 for some inspiration  ;D

I feel like my strategy is getting better and I can consistently get into the upper 100-billion now, but still haven't been able to beat my high score.  Keep dying against the second boss, which for the purple ship is the boat boss.  That thing is brutal.

edekoning:
The first three levels are the same for all ships, there just in a different order. However, these levels are harder if you get to them later. The bosses seem to have slightly different (more annoying attack patterns). As I am using the blue ship, that boat is my first boss, meaning its slightly easier to deal with. I usually have a score of 700-800 (ignoring all the blue digits) when I reach the boat, and that score is usually doubled after I killed it.

Some small scoring tips for the boat level:
-those big red turrets, the ones that shoot three streams of bullets straight down, kill those just before they leave the screen. That should popup a really big medal (20pts) at the top of the screen.
-when you reach the mid boss (the ship that looks like ours and triggers a small dialog), don't shoot it, kill it using reflection only. That means reflect a wave of bullets, dodge and charge the next wave, reflect the following, etc. You choose if you want to start with dodging or reflecting.
One more for your first level (with the big red ship boss):
-just before you clear the land and take to the skies (near the end of the level), you will see a vertical array of turrets on the left, and a smaller vertical array of turrets on the right. Both sides have a tower directly after the turrets. The right one being large, and shooting annoyingly fast. Kill all the right stuff, but only kill the small tower on the left. If you only destroyed the tower, all turrets will explode into a huge medal (20pts)!

I also suggest submitting scores in the way that Gigawing shows them: 123123412345678, makes comparing scores a lot easier.

Played some last night........tried playin a few games for score.....did worse than when I played for survival.  Go figure.
