01 / THE GUIDE
Stage Rhythm Comparison
Play two consecutive stages back‑to‑back, noting the timing of obstacle waves. Record the interval between bullet bursts and compare how each stage’s rhythm affects your movement strategy.

During multiple runs, activate each of the nine friends once. Log the number of enemies each eliminates and the duration of their assistance to identify the most impactful allies.
