This game is great... until the "final weapon"

[xzez]

I've been playing through this game on veteran-normal, and I can make it to the final weapon rarely dieing with most ships I've tried. In some instances not dieing at all. Now I'm completely stuck, I can't beat this the final weapon at all... I don't even know if I'm close. I've tried the "barely move" strategy to no effect. The patterned bullets aren't that bad, but the crazy bullet spam is almost impossible to avoid. I've spent more time on the final boss than the rest of the game, and I feel like I've progressed no further in having done so.

I beat it yesterday with 1 credit, no need to nerf anything, I think you are kidding right?.

I have about 10 hours playtime in this game, of which 2 hours were spent on infinite mode and campaign levels, 8 hours on the last boss alone. I only killed him once with the very first ship and I did it by being very aggressive and getting as close to him as possible. You need to move really gradually for the first stage, the second stage where he uses the friggin' c u mSHOT spray I usually manage to beat by luck + lots of moving around, but not just left and right. You gotta practice and see the openings and hope for the best. The last stage is basically just sit still in a safe spot and hope he dies before you get grazed.
One universal tip I would give you regardless of the ship you're using would be to focus on the little balls since they drop health, but don't focus on grabbing any powerups because you're usually gonna get hit if you go out of your way to try and pick them up. Any ship whose hyper clears bullets would be good. I can't see how you could defeat him with any other ship on veteran/hell without that.

WORKIN ON IT!

I'm very happy to hear that. If you ever decide to crowdfund a sequel (I think a prequel would work better in this instance) then I'd be glad to back you on it.

Agreed. Bought this today on a twitter recommendation. Final boss is utter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Can't even beat it on casual.

We're nerfing himmmm soooooon

big update coming!

[Mindtroverted]

I like how consistent the dev is in trolling. In case you didn't realize it already, the dev has no intention of changing the final boss

[El Oshcuro]

No we actually are lol it's just taken forever cuz we've been working on other games and the original dev doesn't work on this game anymore

If that's true then that's great, but I have a hard time believing it since your original promise to nerf him was made almost a year ago. When the patch comes out, I'll believe it.

I cannot say how long you'll wait, but I can say that it will probably be less than the time it is going to take you to nerf the final boss. In all seriousness though, I will be glad to apologize as soon as the patch is live.
