How do I charge a homing attack?

[satsun]

Apparently I missed the part of the game where I was told how to charge a homing attack. I'm fighting the boss on the mechanical snake and I have no idea how to knock him off of the snake when it does the charge signal, I've tried both the target button and the kick button. Do I hold a button? I'm about ready to use the trainer that even Windows Defender picks up as being malicious. I paid for the game, I need to force myself to finish it. Some parts are very fun, the rest are just completely lame.

press jump button and then again jump button

The "charging" happens automatically. It is indicated by amount of ring at the target icon because you use a homing attack.
For this last hit you have to wait until you can hit him, wait until there are 4 of these rings (or maybe 5) which takes just a little bit longer than you thing and then you do a homing attack.

Horrible game design, I know. I had to look that up as well.

The game is really bad at telling you how the mechanics work. A simple tutorial level would have fixed that issue.

Not really a problem if you ask me. It can be rather usefull for some sections but maybe having a slow down button instead of a run button would have been smater.

Ahh, I think I was letting it get to three and then I was going. No idea I needed to wait longer.

I picked up the game some time ago, finished a few stages, left it and came back and wasn't sure if I had played a tutorial earlier in the game. It probably wasn't at least until half-way through the game that I figured out to use the kick button on some enemies, it was these spiders that I had no idea how to knock down and then I must've incidentally hit the kick button.

It's not so bad, however, unless its only the DEMO version the 3DS version has tutorials to teach ya this stuff plus it seems to feel faster speeds than this so far. Only just started to be honest.
