Played 20XX we have not played in a few months, but a new character seemed like a good time to pick it up again. Co-Op. I'm playing Nina, friend is playing the new whip person, Daily challenge.
Early on we see some prototype labs, I take a prototype upgrade that means I can't heal from pickups, but I fully heal after every boss. Friend laughs at me for picking it. We finish a stage, impressed by the apparent genius of my choice, he picks a prototype upgrade too. He now can't attack or use boss weapons, but he has every minion bit in the game. We continue on I pick up the 3x charge shot and the helmet that lets you fire 2 charge shots at once, and we're pumping basic attack power, since it buffs both my shots and his minions.
We get farther than we ever got, My friend is killing things simply by existing and is able to safely pick up ALL the health pickups, since I can't use them. I'm hitting for over 100 damage with a charge shot (twice per charge to boot) I'm basically 2 shotting bosses, friend is doing the damage on the bosses I have difficulty reaching including it turns out, the last boss, as I struggled with the platforming.
We beat the game. I didn't know it was possible, we beat the game. We check the highscores and... we are not on it... friend assumes it was because we played through midnight and maybe it will be on tomorrow's.
20XX Daily Challenge
EDIT: Indeed we are on the one for the 13th Ranked 2nd worldwide in both score and time unless someone else does better today. Though for some reason the score pageis bugged to list the rankings inverted, and claims we were both playing Hawk
