Started a second playthrough to earn the remaining missable achievements.

🎆 Arcade mode beaten!
⚡ Difficulty: Normal
(continue used)

A rather lengthy arcade mode that takes 45 to 50 minutes to clear compare to other arcade games which average between 20 to 30 minutes.

Unfortunately, the game saves your current score after continuing rather than resetting to zero. This resulted an unsatisfied clear, plus the online leaderboards lets your score submitted despite continuing.

I'll try another 1CC attempt later. Oh, and if you want to earn the achievement asking you to 'beat the arcade mode 30 times', then it takes 25 hours (1,500 minutes) to grind it. Yikes! Although you can finish it on any difficulty.

Still, I had fun playing that mode. I was just being dumb on certain stage where I either didn't pay attention or took an unnecessary hit.

And what's weird is, the staff credits has an ending theme song! Not to mention, you can move your character and fire the harpoon to latch on portrait, and hold it to reveal the credits.

🎆 Game beaten! 🎆
👤 Character: Nameless The Ancient
⏰ Time Taken: 76 minutes
💀 Deaths: 01
🪙 1CC (I got this on my second try!)

I've beaten the game using the unlocked character, Nameless The Ancient. He is slow, but he has 90 HP. Initially, he uses 3 vine melee attack and has a decent firerate. But it gets better when I buy a shuriken, and then Ivoker Bow w/ a minimum of level 5 power.

There are ten stages to beat. There is no end credits (staff credits only shown on title screen at the bottom left), and the game loops infinitely. Once you defeated the dragon, you won the game. The second loop is really nothing other than lazy enemy HP increase. You're not missing too much on second loop so feel free to lose. Sure there is online leaderboards for score, but the game I found is super easy and super boring.

Final Score: 384,680

Game beaten!

All Himitsu Albums unlocked. I thought it's necessary to beat all Himitsu challenges, but it isn't. After you unlocked all albums, the game tells you "Thank you for playing!" while going after remaining orbs.

All I have left is beating every stage w/ regulation A rules. On my first playthrough, I never used auto-aim which resulted me to finish all stages w/ regulation B rules.

🟡 Post-game on hiatus

Only briefly opened the game to see if it works on Steam Deck. And apparently, it does! And yes, I'm returning to beat the game again on hardcore mode.
