Wat, doctor is the easiest of the final bosses.  Just charge Spur to max and shoot when you don't need to dodge.

That's my problem. I don't have the Spur.

Yeah, I made the mistake of getting the Machine Gun on my first playthrough. Being able to boost with it is nice, but the second booster you can get totally makes up for that. The Spur is  a beast.

Protip: On your first time through, do NOT shoot for the best ending.

fuck that
Going for best ending.

Memory is regained, etc. etc. basically taking the hard route. Stopping after talking to Sue's Mom.
Btw, should I take the Nemesis or the Blade? Since now I have the blade to take care of a lot of enemies in close range.

Blade Level 2 (not 3) is the best weapon in the game in terms of damage output/per second, and as such is fantastic against bosses (just get in close and start spamming it as fast as you can,) so I'd go with it. Nemesis is great in it's own right, but your gonna need all the help you can get.

[Eschatos]

Personally I prefer the blade, but most of the speedruns of Hell I've seen use nemesis as their primary weapon.

It only took me like 25 minutes but I finally got through Hell and beat Ballos.

gawdddd soo longggg

Now on Wii Ware.

[Spore]

I bought it because I owe Pixel and Nicalis money.

Same here.

It's a good port, though.  Not digging on the new music too much, but you can set it back to the old.  Also, ProTip: Turn down the Sound FX volume immediately,  It is set on "deafening" by default.

Was gunna say huzzah in big red letters, but then I realized the size tags broke.

Can't wait to pick this up. Gotta wait until thrusday when I actually have some money, but then I'm diving right into a hard run. Can't wait to go insane playing through Hell at hard difficulty.



Double Post Avoidance

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CRAP??

I had a points card I bought two years ago for this game. It got delayed bunches, but the card sat under my monitor the whole time.

“As you’ve all noticed, there’s a lot of weird things going on with the audio, for instance: drum tracks not playing (there is actually drums in the music files we provided), instrument changes delayed, unbalanced mixing. I discovered this yesterday by watching “Let’s Play” videos, and [I] am as disappointed as you. Nicklas and me have [asked many times] to sound check the game, but that’s not really something we had control over. Of course, the music is still questionable, but I just wanted to say a few words about it since people start to associate us with all the audio oddities in that game. That’s quite embarrassing, especially because I feel like we’ve done the job seriously considering limitations we had and time we spent sorting them out.” - Yann van der Cruyssen

That sucks.

Explains why the music in the Egg Corridor was pathetically void of any rhythm.

[Squishy3]

Bought it. I am pleased.

and FFFFF @ dying on 3 or 4 hits before the last boss is dead
