I kinda manage to get pretty good and consistent runs, but I just can't figure out how to beat the second boss. Might be down to me being too old for the kind of bullet-hell those sections are :S


Nevermind, it's just me being crap and the second boss having an unexpected difficulty spike. Now about that third boss...

Honestly, just max upgrade missiles and move speed seem to be the trick?

I find the bomb launcher to be the strongest weapon, and it can even hit the boss if you get both speed boosts, but usually I just have to grind out killing it with missiles while bombing all the adds. Bomb launcher is incredibly powerful compared to basically anything else, if you find it just start upgrading immediately.

Yup, that turned out to be my basic strategy as well. What I didn't realize on the second boss was, that it doesn't scale linearly with the first boss. First boss was two missiles and down. Second needed a lot more than three, so survivability/endurace/evasion made all the difference.

As for the bomb launcher, yup, definitly the best weapon by quite a margin, especially once you have the really speedy upgrades going, ideally in combination with the claws for the spider *evilgrin*

Worst weapon so far? Tie between stake launcher and shotgun. Shotgun being too short ranged to really be useful and the stake gun's spool-up timer doesn't really work well with it's effective damage output. Though I feel it's the only realiable weapon against the bosses outside of the missile, as everything else lacks the range or the accuracy.

And I might have found a new prefered weapon... The laser machine gun. Piercing, high damage. Hm, the game keeps on giving. Now about how to kill that third boss...
