How do I beat perfect space?

[Acaykath]

I know I need to last for 7 minutes, but how do I do that? Once ships start firing diagonally, i inevitably end up in a situation where it is impossible to dodge. Is there some sort of strategy or build order that I am just not getting?

dont upgrade pierce
dont upgrade bullet size
3 damage for asteroids, 5/6 for ships
high attack speed
either upgrade max health(not skilled) or dash(pro)
lifesteal if needed(dont use regen)
get multishot as soon as possible
upgrading shotgun instantly recharges it, so you can use it once->upgrade and use it again

So how do I survive the ones that shoot horizontally that are impossible to dodge? Even with 4 hp upgrades they kill me in one hit (well 2 hits since they are shot in pairs).

There is a "cheese" method where you set fps above 60 and make the screen as short and wide as possible then it is possible to sometimes win without doing anything

It seems there is a limit to how short and wide I can go. Admittedly, I can survive quite a while like that, but I also get no kills, and thus am completely vulnerable. I actually get farther if I go tall and thin... but I still can't get a victorious ending screen.

Kills aren't really needed if you are just trying to win, bombers (the ones that try to attack directly) and the aiming ones tend to not work right with the screen as short and wide as possible, so maybe your aspect ratio isn't extreme enough for full cheese, but some dodging should allow it to work

1920x1080 and I can shrink vertically until it is only 2 ships tall.

Yeah you should do that if you want to try the cheese method

Yeah, totally worked, I just split the screen in half and I had twice the distance to avoid the shots

How do you actually do the cheese method could you explain on how to do it please

Play in windowed mode and make your screen wide and short.... Still wasn't enough for me to beat it.
