🎆 EX&Retro difficulty beaten! 🎆
🛩️ Ship Type: Type-C

🏆 All achievements earned (base + patch).

When I beat EX&Retro (continues allowed) with Type-C ship for the first time, it stacks three achievements:
● Purple devil - TYPE C ALL Clear
● space daren - clear area F EX mode
● Super max - clear area F EX&Retro mode

I almost 1CC EX&Retro mode; I died at the very last pattern of final boss. ☹️ I'll try again at some point.

During the clean-up, I played and beaten the new stage added by patch. Afterwards, I replay the difficulty on Normal with TYPE-C ship, as the option's projectile can reveal the hidden cats way easier than using the ship's special attack.

Update: (06/14/24)
The 'mastered' tag has moved to today's date due to the additional achievement(s) added by patch.

Game beaten!
Difficulty: Hard (Stackable)
Time Taken: 13h 24m (13.4 Hours)
Loses (DC): 298 (had to lose all of my HP to restart back to last checkpoint on certain stages)

I can confirm that you can stack up other difficulties by beating the game on Hard! However, if playing on hard, the time-based star goals became much harder to get. If for some reason you can't get all stars on Hard, you can at least start all over on new save slot on Easy difficulty. For me, I don't have to as I have finished the game on hard w/ all stars earned.

❗️ UPDATE: 01/20/24
I used to abandoned it, but not anymore! Unfortunately, six out of thirty-nine achievements are broken since launch.

Original post: (11/21/23)
I originally plan to come back to play again, but I decided not to since it's not worth the hassle due to constant crashing and unstable performance. Truly an overrated game and forever bad and broken!
