I used homing projectiles and boomerang for the honeybee. Boomerang EX move does a shitton of damage on 2nd and 3rd form since they stand in the same spot of the screen.
reached king dice nowā¦they are serious with the at least 3 boss battles without dying part?!..will be a looong friday for me.
You can get extra health by ending on the squares with the hearts. Most bosses are also very easy, including King Dice himself.
Prepare for the devil though, he aināt no fucking joke. I think it took me two hours to beat him.
i got to isle 2 finally. my cop has an issue where sometimes it lags/freezes for like 2 seconds and skips to whatever is going on now smh.
shit made me die a few times. im on that balloon carnival dude now, he isnt too hard just gotta not slip up on his 3rd form
jesus fucking cristā¦the king dice run is just fucking annoying.
lets drag the shit out of the game at the endā¦slowclapā¦
i am at the devil now but did not finished a run/gun level.
can i do it later after i beat him on the same safe file or should i finish it before i finish him?
When you beat the devil you will unlock the ānew game+ā with expert mode on all bosses on the same file.
I would at least get enough coins for invincible dash and charged shot though.
ouhā¦okay so i should finish it before i beat him.
its just one stage so not much to do and the devil seems to be a challenge anyway. but a good not annoying one like the dice part.
Devil is way more annoying than King Dice. The attacks in the first phase are BS since you can have 2 or 3 of them at the same time on the screen. The later phases are not that hard since you can rush through them but good luck getting there with enough health.
based on what i have seen it seems manageable. the annoying part of the dice run was that it took so long and that the 3 bosses where just a waste of time including the dice jump breaks. when i die at the devil or other bosses i click on repeat and i am in again and dont get bored to death just to die 3 minutes later.
something being a challenge is fine for me but that was just a unnecessary time filler. fucking then up the jump/parry part on my side so many times till i found my rythm didnt helped to not getting annoyed as fuck 
but i guess everyone experience it differentlyā¦everyone ācomplainsā about other bosses 
Just finished this. Mixed feelings. Aesthetically the game is gorgeous. Wonderful looking all around.
As for the game itself, I wish it was an actual runān gun instead of what it is. Those levels are pretty interesting, but they probably went for boss rush instead for lack of resources to do a whole game in runān gun format.
The shmup sections are awful. They do pretty much everything you should avoid in that type of game: terrible hitboxes, inertia, underpowered shot and some really dumb decisions like punishing you for no reason for going to the right edge of the screen on the djinn fight. The game would be much better without these sections.
The hitboxes in particular are rather annoying. So is RNG screwing you up sometimes. Weapon balance is terrible with most doing way too little damage and charge shot being pretty much a must if you want to avoid overly long fights, with the bounce ball being second from what Iāve played.
Some bosses are pretty cool and some are a chore. Dicehead is not particularly hard once you have working strategies and patterns figured out but having to fight at least three bosses before him is annoying. Some really wonky bugs too like the monkey boss glitching and having to reset to beat him, or phantom hitboxes on the devilās snake attack.
All in all despite my complaints and the overall lack of focus of the game, I appreciate the effort and in the end enjoyed it more than not, and putting out a decently challenging game on the mainstream sight at a time where stupid journalists demand boss skipping buttons is good. Just hope that their next game gets rid of these mistakes with a better funded, more focused sequel. Which is a possibility with Cuphead selling a ton right now.
They never meant to do a run & gun game in the first place. They added run & gun levels later to have more variety in the gameplay. Otherwise it wouldāve been 100% boss rush.
This Sugar cunt on the second island is giving me heart palpitations. I canāt for the life of me figure out if Iām doing damage to her or sheās just eating my goddamn shots in her final form.
you have to hit her directly, not the castle. then you can be sure you deal damage to her in the phase where she chases you.
@OceanMachine
can it be that the devil is bugged?
when he use his āsnakeheadā move i always get hit on the left side by something and i keept an eye on the little devils its not one of em.
on the right side it never happens. managed to get to his last phase with the drops but fucked it upā¦
Yes, he has a ghost hitbox on the left side of the screen. You can even hit him if you shoot left.
Iāve done this and it doesnāt show that Iām doing damage to her. Itās frustrating. I was thinking if it was a bug but I havenāt really done a search for it.
That genie sword behind him is some bullshit. Aināt my fault I figured out I can dodge his attacks by going behind him. Gonna punish me for reading his shit patterns? Fuck you.
i actually find it quite funny that they thought about it and put a get the fuck outta here attack in
btw, it seems the candy girl can be bugged based on the steam forum so that she takes no damage but it shouldnt be a common thing so maybe trough that run you had bad luck?
i beat the devil 
i am done for nowā¦might give it later another try to make a hard mode playtrough.
had 367 deaths for that playtroughā¦but i am at least doneā¦and i restarted a lot when i took to early damageā¦
If there is an existing bug, then I definitely have it. Iāve hit her with supers and EX moves and nothing. The meter at the end shows my guy at the starting place for the final form instead of how much damage was left to defeat her.
How frustrating.
are you playing on steam? theres a thread of found bugs/glitches there. yours could be one thats brought up
I dealt with it and beat the boss. Iām now in isle 3.
