Don't risk your life for power-ups
02
Use a bomb immediately when the screen is crowded

Observe boss patterns first, then find your opening
Co-op & Advanced Tips
In two-player mode, split up to handle enemies on different sides; converge your firepower only during boss battles to avoid crowding the same bullet path.
Survival First
Maintain space to move; don't trap yourselves in the corners together.
Assign Roles
Decide who handles the front and who watches the sides or resources, adjusting on the fly.
Review Mistakes
A mistake usually comes down to positioning or resource timing; focus on fixing just one thing in your next run.
