The game allows you to select between Easy and Normal difficulty at the start, in order to unlock all the extras it is recommend to start with Easy difficulty and only start with Normal after that, the reason is that suits that are earned on one difficulty can be reused on the next, so finishing Normal with a suit that you have powered up on Easy gets much easier.
Difficulty Select[edit]
The game features three difficulty levels
- Easy
- Normal
- Hard (unlocked after finishing Easy or Normal)
In order to unlock all the suits it is recommend to play them in order, see more below. Normal features an additional dialog at the end and an extra "Thank you for playing" picture at the end over the Easy ending.

Final Boss[edit]
The following tactic is for the Normal and Hard difficulty, on Easy you should be able to simply defeat it by using a few of your special attacks without worrying much about dodging and tactic. Do not use any special attacks on Normal or Hard difficulty until Phase 3.
Phase 1[edit]
The boss with shoot blue rays at you, to dodge them sidestep three times to the left right at the beginning, then start shooting. When the rays stop sidestep four times to the right and start shooting again. After that the boss should move on to Phase 2 with a little cutscene.
Phase 2[edit]
When Phase 2 starts you are placed back in the middle of the platform. Sidestep five times to the left so that you leave the platform, when done, start shooting. The boss will shot energy balls at you, which however can't hit you where you are standing, they should hit the ground in front of you and a few steps behind you.
When the little flying things appear, duck and roll to the right, closer to the ledge, they can't hit you when you duck. You don't need to shoot them. When they disappear start shooting again. When the energy balls are shot again move back into the old position to dodge them.
Phase 3[edit]
Once you reached Phase 3 he will start to shoot 5 rotating blue ball circles at you, to dodge you just need to duck, wait until they disappear and then start shooting. Since the time between two blue ball attacks is rather short you have to be a little patient, but you won't have any issues aside from that. If the little flying things appear, dodge them by ducking near the ledge as usual. If you see a red glow on top of the boss Phase 3 will start.
Phase 3[edit]
In Phase 3 he will use his MG to fire at you, move a little back so that you have room to dodge the fire. The boss will soon after that move to your platform and shoot huge deadly red beams at you, as long as the beams are still away, continue to shoot at him. When they get to close quickly use a special attack. Since the special attack will make you invulnerable, for a short time you should be able to survive. After that MG fire will start again, dodge it by side stepping and repeat the special attack when the red beams come again. Once done two times the boss should be dead.
