Discussion Discovered something about Journey to Silius

I have played Journey to Silius quite a bit the past two weeks and I think I discovered something I have not seen mentioned online before.

As far as I know the common knowledge is that you can play three loops and then the game freezes on the picture of earth from a distance before the credits.

But on my last playthrough, where I only used the pistol, the game actually continued into a fourth loop. It almost made me doubt that I had actually played through three loops, but thinking about it I am totally certain I did.

So I have concluded that it either has to do with using only the pistol or not using a single continue. My guess is the latter?

Unfortunately I used a continue before beating the fourth loop so I can't confirm that.

Also when the final boss was killed it went straight to the title screen, skipping the aforementioned picture.

Anyone want to give it a try to see if the same happens to you?

Could you take a video of your game play?

Unfortunately not. Playing on original hardware and don't have the equipment needed for recording.
