Use your "Esc" key frequently.

You can use your "Esc" key to pause the game in order to get a bearing on your surroundings as much as you want. Plan accordingly with how you move this way. This is your biggest advantage over this game. Abuse your advantage.

Title says it all. This tip is only really useful for the final boss where there's a gap for you to shoot all your guns at them real close. As far as I know, none of the spacecraft can kill you if you touch them, only their gunfire will.

After you kill off the five purple ships. (I honestly didn't know there were five until I realized that I had been shooting at the fifth in the center almost every time.) You will come to a point where several of those orange ships will start shooting at you in waves off-screen. You can kill most of them off-screen by moving left and right in the middle of the screen to eventually get to 20,000 points, assuming you've killed at least most of the enemies beforehand, to get your second gun upgrade.

Use and abuse the "Esc" key frequently to plan your moves and dodge enemy fire. This part is much harder to pass through without dying before the second boss, because if you're not careful in destroying your enemies, you may get 1-2 waves of spacecraft firing at you, with one off-screen and the second boss firing at you also from off-screen. Keep in mind that the second boss's gunfire is much faster and will blend in with the rest of the beads of death. The one thing you have to dodge is the boss's direct fire, which will shoot at the last place you were at right after its previous volley fire finishes. Keep that in mind while moving, and use that "Esc" key even more.

Once you get to the second boss, you'll feel some relief. But it'll be short-lived because the second boss is still a nuisance. In case you want more relief, hit that "Esc" key and take a break from this torture you've brought on yourself.

This guy's main weapon is the turret fire that shoots right at you. Fortunately, he will only shoot just where you were before right after his previous volley finishes. The interval between each volley fires is very short, so make sure you stick close to the bottom of your screen to avoid it. He also has another attack that constantly shoots in a ring full of gaps. I've found it easier to position your spacecraft in front of the second boss, moving slightly left and right to dodge the turret fire. Keep using that "Esc" key to judge when and where to move. What's also annoying is that blinding white light that it gives off when dying. If you're not careful, you might end up running into it or not dodging those last beads of death, which will then kill you.

But don't worry, this fight will still be the hardest fight.

This guy isn't very hard to beat. Just make sure after you wipe out the two orange ships before the purple boss spacecraft appears that you move to either side to avoid his turret fire, keeping moving upward from there because his turret fire will follow you. He will begin shooting at you about 2-3 seconds after appearing on your screen. If you're careless like me, you'll get shot up so much you'll break a monitor. After he's done shooting you, you can then begin shooting him. Do things in this order:

• Position your ship right in front of him, begin shooting with all five guns. If you don't have even three guns, I would just reset at this point, as it would take a good long while.
  
• The time to quit and move your ship the first time around is a freebie. Once the first health pack begins moving past the boss, that's your cue to quit firing and move your ship in either of the bottom-most corners.
  
• You can still position yourself to fire at the ship with your diagonal gun from either corner. Use the bars at the bottom for reference. You typically don't want to go near the end of the second bar. If you did things right, you might be able to beat him before he's even done all his super bullet moves.

It's also worth noting there's a glitch where you can accumulate several points from the boss. I was able to accumulate 20,000 points off the boss just by firing all five guns into him repeatedly, which gave me enough to avoid fighting the second boss a second time.
