Title: Alien Crush secret glitch?
Post by: Phase on March 31, 2017, 09:25:17 PM: I was playing some AC tonight and when I was in the bonus room with the sculls I noticed the ports that eject the ball were glitching a bit so I got the camera and this showed up.. it looks like the Gunhed ship with dark colors. I think it appears in the top hole but I was messing with the camera and didn't catch it very good. Any one else have this happen?
Here is the movie download sorry I don't have a youtube account (right click save link as if it doesn't play in your browser - It plays in firefox here)

Here is a snap from the video

I noticed I got an extra ball when I killed it.
Lucky I had the ipad next to me to catch the glitch, I thought my game was about to self destruct. :-k It played fine afterwards so not sure. I'm gonna try to get it to happen again here...

and make it in the left port. Also the chime that plays when the ship gets destroyed sounds kinda like sound test 40 on Blazing Lazers, did Naxat use it in both games? ..it sounds slightly different. (have to turn up the sound to hear it in the clip). I'm trying to get a better vid here but it's not exactly the easiest bonus round.

Naxat is only a publisher, and not of Gunhed / Blazing Lazers.

The name of the developer was Compile, which is why there's that familiar sound. It's in basically all their games (Devil's Crush, Guardian Legend, Puyo Puyo, Aleste...)
