Sunset Drive (UFO 50 - 1CC, 302,275, Cherry)

Just scraped the Cherry run on Sunset Drive. Lovely game by Ojiro Fumoto, developer of Downwell and Poinpy; it's a completely original new game part of UFO 50 (which is well worth checking out).

Basic mechanics are that you have three levels of power-up, which gradually decline over time but can be recharged by drifting your car to the left. You've got a front/back fire which has absurd DPS but doesn't hit much, and then the adjustable upwards fire which is used for 90% of the game.

This was simultaneously my best run and also completely horrible, but was just able to squeeze past 300,000 points; if I had one small gripe with the game it'd be that Not Dying is more important to your score than a high shot-down rate in the actual levels, as completion of the bonus levels gives you a guaranteed bucketload of points.

I hope to be back with a ~350k run at some point, as this is easily one of the highlights on UFO 50 for me.
