Reached second level, that spider-thing destroyed my remaining ship. Played with Zipstick, since it has autofire. I have been using Immortal joystick, but it lacks just that essential autofire. Last edited by el_pasi; 29 April 2023 at 17:59. |

As Help, I present my Shopping Guide:
Xenon 2 Shopping Guide ---------------------- NOTES: Buy Health as necessary, but if you cant afford the other items, do it only if you are very low on health. Collect all offered weapons except when stated otherwise. If you buy an upgradable weapon, only half of the price for the first grade is lost, the higher grades will be paid back fully at selling. If you collect any upgrades while Nashwan Power is active, the upgrade is lost! (So dont buy it, it is almost useless anyway). Buy a Dive when you have the money and like it, then you can hide in the scenery with the space bar. TRADING: Level 1, Shop 1: Trade nothing Level 1, Shop 2: Sell Rear Shot, Buy Double Shot, 0 (1) Power up and 3 (1) Side Shot Level 2, Shop 1: (Buy 1 Side Shot if you have only two) Level 2, Shop 2: Sell Side Shot, buy 2 Laser, (Power Up), 1 Rear Shot -- Take the 2 rear shots at next level Level 3, Shop 1: Sell Rear, Buy 2 Power Up, Buy 2 (3) Side. Level 3, Shop 2: Buy Drone, (Cannon, Power Up) Level 4, Shop 1: Buy Power Up -- do not take the Rear Shot in the Level -- get as much cash as needed Level 4, Shop 2: Buy Cannon, Power Ups, 3 Lives -- do NOT take the missile offered in the next Level, it will replace your sideshot if you die! Level 5, Shop 1: Buy Lives The items in parentheses are alternatives, if you have the money. |

Not having played this for some years, I dont know the enemies patterns anymore, and my reflexes also seem to have decreased. The enemies come almost always in the same patterns, and I like to touch harmlessly the borders. |

Rules updated. Lets just play one loop of the game, should anyone make it that far.
Play one loop of the game only. (take your snapshots after beating the final boss, or the start of level 1). |

Just added a new rule for the masters of this game. It seems the Lemoners found a leeching spot in 4.2.
