^ Well I'm in the same boat and will likely be for the remainder of the month. Tough game.

Getting better now, but still can't quite reach the "Castle" section on Level 3. I used to be able to, long ago...

I had this game when I was a teen. This game is tough. The music was good. r-collider was the worst weapon. The only way I got through the game was with the t-vulcan.

A miniboss appears twice (so far) in Mission 3. The only nice thing is if you take a bit long in fighting it, that item that destroys everything on screen appears and taking it also destroys the miniboss. You'll hope to survive for that moment when the game sends you back to that convenient checkpoint after you die trying to navigate the next section.

It's not that impressive, once you realise it involves dying in the same spot a lot of times... :)
