Quoted from gliebig:Nice video. For bonus points, can anyone point out what the star map is showing during any point in the game? I'd really be interested to see what I should be looking for.
The star map indicates the next shot required to be hit in the sequence of shots (10 shots initially) required to earn an extra ball. You will see the book open up on the screen everytime the next required shot has been hit. The symbol displayed in the book ( 2X, 5X, ship, etc) is what you would been required to have recognized among the stars on the star map.
While an interesting feature, I find myself never paying attention to the star map as 1) I need to focus on too many other things and 2) I find that I end up hitting the star map shots in the course of normal gameplay.
Hope this helps.
