the stick is very powerful

yeah it is. if stage 4 is any indication i could use this primarily over throwing cards in non-boss non-autoscroller situations

It's very useful in stage 8 but you can't rely on it 100% because it immobilizes you and you'll get crunched between the cat ghosts and the other enemies you can't sweep

i can only make it to stage 6 boss without gaming over currently. snow lady is giving me a lot of trouble but i think i have the demon guy figured out. getting back there is going to be much smoother now though

The trajectory of the snowflakes was so fast and difficult to predict I had to tank through her with a life or two

I finally figured out a strategy that worked for me for the last boss... use Digger to send out those little ... moles? or whatever and just create insane lag to dodge everything. It took forever lol. Great game, great pick, game club FTW

Yep, it's a good idea to always be throwing cards during the fireball attack in particular because that creates slowdown when they burst

reached it again and gamed over again. an autoscroller where you move eight directions and can't move even half the height of the screen is kind of a really stupid idea

and your character moves up and down on their own very slightly

Got up to level 6 with my non-gamer fiancee. The asymmetry between Pocky and her partners suited my fiancee; I think she would have been pissed off if she had to worry about losing lives. Lots more fun than Axelay, IMO.

getting to stage 8 on my first play through without a continue and then getting bolta down to two candles before losing my final life has made me have to take a break for a bit

I apparently was struggling to reach the midboss and not the actual boss. The first time I managed to beat him I had exactly one hit left before game over and I immediately got taken out by the next enemy because I was a dumbass and didn't notice the stage wasn't over. The way I was able to finally make it through the stage was I realized if you stay in your starting position in the middle of the screen and just hold down the fire button none of the enemies will actually hurt you until the wave that spawns after the first item pickup.

it is. my entire boss strategy has been to throw Rocky at the boss and then dodge until I can throw him again

I don't recommend Rocky for throwing because the warmup to damage takes so long, and because his balls are distracting

That's basically the intended way to fight every single boss.

I warmed up to it a lot more when I realized that it hit everything near you not just the stuff you're facing.

I managed to get killed in the second impy fight by beating her while her homing projectile was still in air. It kept moving while the cutscene started and I couldn't control my character.

I think if I can get the dodge on his really fast sword slash down I should be able to beat him.

I feel like you trigger it by standing in front of him slightly so my strat was to trigger it as fast as possible and move the direction I approached from

determined to beat this tonight or tomorrow. getting very close, I’ve gotten about halfway into the last boss’s health a few times now

First couple of levels made me think the whole game would be a breeze but level 8 is a hell of a spike lol
