I see what you're saying but to say it "kills" your movement is a bit much, there's only a slight change in speed if you finesse your up/down movements. The game is basically designed around analog controls (alot of situations require you to match speed with bullets or enemies) but more options wouldn't be a bad thing for people who absolutely want to use a D-Pad.

On lower difficulties phase 5 can be even easier. Boost into the hydra under its curving body. You can keep boosting into the curve and never have to dodge a single bullet :]

Woah this game is awesome. First game to blow me away. Only done the first level and again on the Vita (wow) but really great game. Housemarque does it again!
Ah! This is also a good tactic. Excellent addition.
Delicious.
The biggest praise I can give this game is that I think it's more fun than ikaruga and I used to play the hell out of that on my GameCube.
The game is the best looking thing I have ever seen it looks like it's popping out of my tv screen. And that steady 60fps, I don't know how they do it when there is so much going on.
Trying to maintain that multiplayer is where the game has got me hooked. I'm having a lot of fun with it and I knew I would like it as iv always loved shooters but it surpasses my expectations.
I got the killzone bundle yesterday but it's not going to get a look in I'm addicted.

Man, the last boss murdered me badly.
Also, I'll be genuinely amazed if anything else in this generation ends up being more stressful than trying to keep your multiplier up.
I get way more angry than I should when I lose my multiplier.

Just finished the game. I had to knock the difficulty down for the last 2 levels. Those homing missiles... 
Incredible game.

I had great success going for the multiplier achievements using the seeking ship (first one).

That's why I mainly play veteran. The multiplier is so slow on experienced, it drives me bonkers when I run out of enemies.

I got the 15x without even trying using Phobos. I just rage when I can see 2 enemies left from a phase and they are on the other side of the screen, so to keep my multiplier, I set off a bomb. But the bomb doesn't reach them in time so I lost my multiplier AND a bomb lol
It's fun rage though

Spent most of yesterday hunting down the trophies in this game, only a few more left. This game fucking RULES.
If you guys are having issues keeping the MP up and dont care much to save humans (if you already have all of those trophies) just keep a human on the ground and hold on to a second one. Picking up a human resets the multiplier timer and getting a human to a tractor beam also resets the timer. Stay near one of the two tractor beams and in the event you find yourself without an enemy to kill, save a human to keep your multi going or pick one up.
Another tip is to NOT KILL ANYTHING WHEN A PHASE IS COMPLETE. Stop shooting immediately. Many times you will still have enemies on screen during completion of a phase. When the next phase starts you will notice your multiplier is BLUE indicating the countdown is stopped and will ONLY restart when hit another enemy. Keep those enemies alive and wait until more spawn.
Weapon power ups. Shooting them adds to the multi. If you dont need it right away keep it up and only shoot it when you need to to reset the timer.
Another good idea is allow some of the larger enemies to turn GOLD. They become much harder to kill. You dont need to kill anything to keep resetting the timer. Just hit any enemy and the counter resets. Keep a few floating around and just peck at them to keep from losing your multi.
Bomb. Try using it when you are in trouble and there's no other way to live but try to time it as enemies begin to spawn. If you hit it while the clear white blocks are coming together, you can kill all enemies on screen while ignoring the mid-spawn enemies so you have something to shoot after clearing the screen.
Final tip, when using OD, dont kill everything. Use it defensively as an oh shit moment. Clear only the immediate area around you until you are safe to keep enemies on screen elsewhere to keep your multi going.

How do humans work? I thought that those little trails come up and if you shoot all the enemies moving along it, it'll release the humans. But sometimes I don't see one of those appear, and the human just dies.
Do games have digital manuals? Is it under the game's info page which is currently disabled?

Some humans are free from having a high enough combo at certain times. Confused the crap out of me for the longest time, too.
Definitely, you get much better at Master by playing on Hero.
I love how all the spawn patterns stay the same, everything you learn in this game carries over to other difficulties.
Not just this but some keepers do not run along trails. Some keepers come in groups and some need to be killed in a specific order.

Hit 25th in veteran this morning. Sooooo close to cracking 100 mil.
Not JoeFenix, but pretty good for a mere mortal

Don't get discouraged with Joe's scores. They're other-worldly, haha.

Looks like DLC is coming, not sure when though, probably in the next few months but maybe earlier. I know they're working on it!

What's the deal with the humans in the game? Level 2, within about 10 seconds it says Human Lost, but I can't see anywhere on the level where they are? Also, you get two flashing at once sometimes, you grab one, and the other one dies (and I can't even see where it is!).
Do you get them out of their little houses somehow? Sometimes there is a green arrow showing where they are, other times there is not.

Screw all the people that bemoaned those saying this is worth buying a console for. Played barely 10 minutes of KZ, 30 of Contrast and I haven't even unwrapped NFS.
When the human is released, there's always a green arrow indicating their location. However if you don't meet the criteria for releasing them they'll die in their cube - criteria can be either killing all of the keepers (and in the right order if necessary) or having a high enough multiplier.

Sorry if it's been asked already but does anyone know where to get the amazing OST from?
Seriously, if I only got Resogun with the system I would have been more than pleased.
I wish there was an option to actually buy the game even though I got it for free on PS+, just to give them more support.

You'll have the opportunity to support them when they release DLC.

There are certain sets of keepers in the later levels that require they be killed in a specific order.

I think this game would have been better if they completely left the humans out of the game entirely.
So happy with myself when I beat the game on Veteran watching the trophies roll in, and then... I started Master difficulty.
Sweet mother of god!!
I've noticed that I try too hard to collect the humans the moment they are freed, I need to learn restraint, and grab them when I can instead of immediately, they don't run off cliffs and jump into water on their own do they?

It does seem like as soon as you get the human related trophies, their existence becomes utterly pointless except for a moderate points boost at the end of the game.
EDIT: That isn't entirely correct; saving humans gives you useful bonuses like Shield, extra lives or temporary weapon upgrades.

I like this game, but I'm terrible at it. Humans keep dying on me.
Outside of that it looks fantastic and plays great.

Well, it does keep you invincible and can do some damage. May as well use it if you have it since OD resets at the start of a new level.
Sometimes when keepers are released, there are reticules around them. You must kill these marked keepers first, before killing the other ones from that wave.
It took me forever to save the humans on the 2nd level, then I did it twice in a row and beat the boss. I suck at these games as well, but keep on trying.

Same thing happends to me. I think the reason why they just seem to die sometimes is because the green spaceships (i dont remember what they are called) leaves before you shoot them. If you dont take them out before they leave, one human in the game will die.
for the trophy where you need to beat experienced without using a continue... it really pays to know when the extra lifes are coming.
Level 1: Human 10
Level 2: Human 8
Level 3: Human 7
Level 4: Human 2
Level 5: Humans 9 & 10
It might be useful to know where the bombs are too.
I got my platinum last night.
