Ikaruga is for pussies.

its under options. But what sucks is you cant change the window size. On those feather tight bullet doges the small window size blows

With normal enemy parts it helps if you just memorize where they pop onto the screen and aim there before you have to start dodging. Also, the blue hama charms that the first character human form shoots are seeking, so I get the impression you're supposed to spend more time dodging than aiming anyway.

[Anyway]

Man fuck that bitch who sends an entire screen of star shaped shit at you. Alot of the time you can't dodge the small ones cause they are in clumps.

So to get this right, theres 4 levels and the extra level? I cant tell b/c I cannot read Japanese at all. I killed the boss at the 4th level and I guess I saw an "ending" and it went back to the start screen.

5 levels total?

edit: ya theres more. I just dont know how to play all of the levels.

[Millael]

I believe there are 11 levels and then 12, the extra stage.

We're still talking about Imperishable Night right? There's 6 levels per normal mode game. The first and fourth characters have one version of level 4, the second and third have a different version. Then there are two versions of level 6, I think depending on what happens in level 5. (Probably has something to do with whether or not you see/beat the final spell from the bunny ears guy). If the game ends after a level other than 6 then you ran out of "time".

At the end of each level, if you got enough time orbs the game time advances by 0:30, if you didn't it advances by 1:00. I've seen it advance by 1:30 as well but I'm not sure why exactly. Also, using a continue advances it by 0:30 immediately, and when it hits 5:00 or 5:30 (depending on what level you're on at the time I think) the game ends.

Sorry if you knew this and I misinterpreted the question.
