Started playing.

I tried to get this game work on Linux desktop PC, but it's not working. Odd how this game worked on Steam Deck. Perhaps it's CPU or GPU related?

UPDATE: (5/24)
I found a fix for the Linux desktop PC. I had to add one launch option: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% -vanillaGFX

I'm going after normal 1CC next both on Reboot and Retro modes.

Before I did full blind 1CC, I was playing for a little while until stage 3 when I'm testing the game on Linux.

I'll go after hard mode clear later.

Unforunately, none of the achievements I tried to earn are working. I'm playing it on Linux OS (Linux Mint). And it doesn't matter if I'm using compatibility layer or not. Looks like it's 100% unobtainable unless the game has to be played only on Windows OS.

I use Marila for speed and air. Yes, she has low HP (2 HP), but I manage my gold and I don't need to buy speed boots.

🌙 Finished at midnight

I've beaten the game on Normal difficulty without using a single continue on my first try! I also have no deaths too!

I'm attempting to 1CC Moderate next.

🪙 1CC! (w/ upgrades)

🏆 All achievements earned.

I died on my first try. On my second attempt, I bought some upgrades (mostly for firepower and damage) and beaten the game without using a continue. It is possible to 1CC without upgrades though!

First Playthrough
Game beaten on Hard difficulty.

I tried to 1CC Hard mode, but I failed. Two continues used.

Unfortunately, the achievements cannot be stacked. Looks like the developer did not learned his mistakes on achievement trigger. Guess I'll play each difficulty.

Second Playthrough
Game beaten on Normal difficulty + 1CC.

I lost a few lives while attempting to 1CC Normal mode. Yet, I managed to earn it.

👤 Character: Nameless The Ancient
⏰ Time Taken: 76 minutes
💀 Deaths: 01
🪙 1CC (I got this on my second try!)

I've beaten the game using the unlocked character, Nameless The Ancient. He is slow, but he has 90 HP. Initially, he uses 3 vine melee attack and has a decent firerate. But it gets better when I buy a shuriken, and then Ivoker Bow w/ a minimum of level 5 power.

There are ten stages to beat. There is no end credits (staff credits only shown on title screen at the bottom left), and the game loops infinitely. Once you defeated the dragon, you won the game. The second loop is really nothing other than lazy enemy HP increase. You're not missing too much on second loop so feel free to lose. Sure there is online leaderboards for score, but the game I found is super easy and super boring.

Final Score: 384,680

I've beaten this game last year, but I never seen Backloggd before until a year later.

1CC on normal again.
Now attempting on hard.

I finished normal again with Type-2 ship (yellow). I tried hard and it's harder yet doable.

1CC Normal

I thought it's another euroshmup, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. No damage spongy enemies, no inertia, relatively small hitbox (not too small), and a score multiplier.

Nightmare doesn't change much of the gameplay, as to me it feels the same as Normal difficulty. As a result, I have no interest on playing Nightmare. Normal is good enough for me.
