Here we see a kind of debug mode, which displays numbers during the gameplay on the bottom of the screen....
Someone can guess what is the meaning of those numbers? ;-)

Just a guess, but I think it keeps by where the player is on the (vertical) map. The left row are the steps/cells, and the one on the right is the 'section' of that map.
Anyway, I may be wrong, but these kind of things are always interesting to see. Smile

Oh, come on... If you look the video, it is quite clear that 1st value is something like number of 8-pixel high rows drawn to screen. 2nd is more difficult, but my guess would be something like "last enemy that has shooting handler active".

As far as i can remeber,
on the Left is the Level posittion, as mentioned above.
on the Right is the Enemy attackwave pattern.

Firebird uses a variable difficulty level ( From 0 to 15 )
the higher the difficulty level the more aggressive the enemies are.
The difficulty level will be increased in the following ways:
- The stronger the weapon is, the higher the difficulty level will be (Strongest weapon +6)
- Every time a password is entered + 1 ( until level 10 is reached )
- Every time you defeat a boss +1

First one, scroll cell number thingy. The second (right one) is increasing every time a sprite (moving) enemy (combo) (base, not its bullets) is plotted.

Lars, that's a nice insight. You looked at the code?
I have sooooo much love for this game

Yes, I reverse engineered the password system back in 2011 and wrote a password generator for it.
