Psyvariar Revision gameplay - Final Stage (Gluon)

Area: X-D (Gluon) Score 38,857,500 Level: 287 Total Buzz: 31481 Player: JayLab (that's me) Version: Psyvariar Revision (PS2) Psyvariar is a unique and addictive shmup first released in arcades in 1999, and later given a budget release on PS2 in 2003 (which included both the original "medium unit" version, and the 2001 "revision" update). The game built around a novel mechanic called "Buzzing" whereby grazing past enemy bullets fills up your "Muon Gauge" located at the top of the screen, and when the gauge is full your ship "levels-up" and you're granted a few moments of invulnerability. The trick is to chain together successive levelups so that you can remain invulnerable for long periods of time. There are multiple paths you can take through the game, with certain areas becoming unlocked depending on what level your ship is. This video demonstrates my own best run of the game's final level on the hardest path. It goes well for the most part, although I clearly lose my rhythm towards the end.
