| |
| − | '''''P-47 Aces''''' is a horizontally scrolling [[shoot'em up]] [[arcade game]] developed by [[NMK]] and published by [[Jaleco]] in 1995. It is notable for its obtuse "bumping"-based scoring system, highly detailed pixel art, and high degree of difficulty.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It has not been ported as of September 2020.

| − | == Controls ==
| |
| − | P-47 Aces is a 2 button game with a typical 8-way lever movement. It's worthwhile to have an autofire A button at 30Hz, as it's faster than the internal autofire. Keeping the internal autofire button is useful both for handling [[Glossary of shmups#Slowdown | slowdown]] more effectively, and to reduce gaps in the firing pattern.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For scoring, it is also common to add [[Glossary of shmups#Frame button | frame buttons]] on movement, to make positioning for [[#Wedging|bump wedging]] simpler and more consistent.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * '''A:''' Shot (internal autofire at 20Hz)
| |
| − | * '''B:''' Bomb

| − | == Rank ==
| |
| − | P-47 Aces features a simple [[rank]] system, based entirely on survival time. It only affects enemy firing rate/complexity. It has 4 steps, from 0 to 3. Difficulty settings only adjust the rank minimum, maximum, and increment time. Each stage has a different setting for minimum and maximum rank.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | How the rank affects each enemy is described on the [[P-47 Aces/Enemy Detail|enemy details]] page.

| |
| − | There are two versions of P-47 Aces, the original release (V1.0) and a relatively rare bug-fix update (V1.1). The differences are:
