Resources
You start off the game with 2 lives and 3 bombs
You gain more lives by increasing your score, and every time you gain a life, you gain an additional bomb
This game has an automatic deathbomb (which you can turn off in the option menu) whenever you get hit with any number of bombs in stock. But deathbombing uses up all your bombs, so it's best to use your bombs prematurely so as to not waste them in a deathbomb. Unless it's your last bomb, in which case you should never manually use it
Scoring
In addition to your score, you also have a score rate, which influences how much score you gain for doing certain actions
You gain score rate by:
- Picking up leaves, which defeated enemies and cleared bullets drop
You gain score by:
- Damaging enemies
- Killing enemies
- Picking up stars, which defeated enemies drop
- Achieving no miss bonuses by depleting one full health bar without dying
- Finishing the game with lives in stock (each extra life adds 330000000 points to your score)
Additional notes
- The enemies don't have a hitbox, meaning the player can contact them and even go through them without dying
- You have an infinite amount of continues (except for the extra stage, where you have none), and using a continue does not change the ending and even unlocks the extra stage for the characters you were playing as. However, it does not award you with a 1 coin clear medal on the character and difficulty you cleared the game with
