Tips and tricks

Power-up Items

  • Evol : evolution item. Power-up your ship.
  • BEvol : black evolution item, released by the big ships. Also powers-up your ship. It can be changed to an Evol item by shooting at it.
  • Ar : armour item. It is released by some enemies. Unlike the evolution items, it moves upwards.
  • Sp : speedup item. It is released by some enemies. Unlike the evolution items, it moves upwards.
  • DNA : it is released by the ground lizards.
  • Egg : available after destroying each stage boss. It adds a second ship that shoots sideways and can also be upgraded by collecting evolution items. Its evolution level is at most equal to the main ship level.

General Sequence

  1. When you are not invincible -> (get hit by a bullet) -> PISTER
  2. All states -> (fixed time without collecting power-up) -> degenerate
  3. PISTER -> (get hit by a bullet) -> die
  4. All states -> (get hit by an enemy) -> die

Evolution Sequence

When you collect an evolution item:

PISTER -> HODOYODO (your stating level) -> ZWIPIP -> DARIER -> SYULBA -> QUILL -> LBOCK -> SWEEP -> DLIME -> ARTDEAME -> SLUGBU -> GYASYALBA

(if you collect BEVol while you are DARIER, ZWIPIP or ARTDEAME then the evolution sequence is different, see below)

Degeneration Sequence

At fixed time without collecting an evolution item:

  1. GYASYALBA -> SLUGBU -> ARTDEAME -> DLIME -> SWEEP -> LBOCK -> QUILL -> SYULBA -> DARIER -> ZWIPIP -> HODOYODO
  2. FC FDIVI -> FOUR DIVI -> TC TDIVI -> TWO DIVI -> ARTDEAME -> DLIME -> SWEEP -> LBOCK -> QUILL -> SYULBA -> DARIER -> ZWIPIP -> HODOYODO
  3. DARIER-4S -> DARIER-4 -> DARIER-3 -> DARIER-2 -> DARIER -> ZWIPIP -> HODOYODO
  4. PISPIDER -> PISTER
  5. GOAT DEAM -> PISTER
  6. PISNAKE -> PISTER

Mutation Sequence

  1. All levels -> (hit the orange explosions released by the ground bugs) -> PISPIDER (bullet invincible)
  2. ARTDEAME -> (collect BEvol) -> TWO DIVI -> TC TDIVI -> FOUR DIVI -> FC FDIVI

Opposite Evolution

  1. SLUGBU -> (degenerate) -> GYASYALBA (but shooting like ARTDEAME) -> (get hit by a bullet) -> GOAT DEAM (bullet invincible)
  2. All levels, except PISTER and the invincible levels -> (destroy some water snakes) -> (get hit by a bullet) -> PISNAKE (bullet invincible)

Bomb Upgrade

  1. DARIER -> (collect BEvol) -> DARIER-2 -> DARIER-3 -> DARIER-4 -> DARIER-4S (bomb upgrade)
  2. ZWIPIP -> (collect BEvol) -> ZWIPIP-2 -> DARIER-4 -> DARIER-4S (bomb upgrade)
