First 1cc! DeathSmiles | Steam | Mega Black Label - Normal | Follett

DeathSmiles is an arcade shoot-em-up (shmup) game, with a goofy/spooky theme, but crisp hardcore arcade action. These games are tough, so clearing one with 1 credit (1cc, or 1-credit-clear) normally quite an accomplishment for an average gamer.
In this video, I comment on my first ever 1cc of this game. I talk you through the stage path I chose, the character, gameplay mechanics, strategies, tactics and routing as it's demonstrated on screen.
Hope you enjoy it!

You shmup folk are cracked 🤣 Congrats on the achievement of still having the reactions and spacial awareness to play shmups with grey in your beard. Also on the actual achievement!

No more cracked than jrpg players, albeit in different ways!
Thanks, I'm very proud of my young reflexes in this old head lol

[@thewynd]

Well done! I'd never be able to do that.

[@carn114]

Thanks wynd! Atleast there are no asteroids to crash into in this game lol

Have you tried Vampire Survivors? It seems like something you may like

[@carn114]

It's in my library, just need the time to play it! Now that I'm between shmups, I might just DL it now :)
