--------------------
Stage 1
--------------------

There isn't much to this stage considering it's the first stage. They try to
scare you early with the carpet bombers being jumbled in with a ton of bees and
birds but don't let it scare you. After that it's pretty slow for a while. Try
not to stay too close to the top because from about the middle of the stage and
on, caped bombers will float down from the top of the screen and make their way
to the bottom. Shortly after the first set of those, you'll see five quick
carpet bombers move from the right to the left shooting at you. After several
waves of enemies, you'll reach the boss.

The boss is this stage is pretty easy, although it seems like it takes forever
to kill her. She'll float around in an oval or rectangle shape on the right
half of the screen. She will shoot random shots all over the place with the
straight shot moving in a spiral to cover the most area as possible. Every now
and then she'll try to sneak a direct shot but it's not quick so it should be
easy to avoid. If you want to be cautious, stay along the far left and you'll
have no problem dodging shots. Only downside to this is the fact that you only
get one shot at a time so it seems like it takes forever to kill her.

--------------------
Stage 2
--------------------

One thing you will immediately notice about this stage that is different from
the first is that the enemies will make quick eratic movements and then slow
down. This can be very dangerous if you are pretty close to enemies so be
careful. Another thing to be careful about is that many times when carpet
bombers quickly fly to the center of the screen, they often multiply into two
and quickly move to the left again. After several waves of enemies, you'llr
each the boss.

This boss moves the same way as the witch in stage one. The only really
difference is he moves side to side a bit more often. His only attacks is
shooting three fireballs to the left at different angles just in front of him,
not at you. Try to time the attacks so you can easily avoid his fireball
attacks until he dies.

--------------------
Stage 3
--------------------

Pay close attention to the start of this stage because they throw a lot at you
right away. Position yourself in the best possibly location and take down as
many enemies to make a clear path until you pass the first quick but difficult
wave. There will be a couple of bats moving from the top left down to the
bottom quickly shortly after so keep an eye out. After those, some new enemies
will appear, the orbs and the dropping orbs. After several waves of monsters,
you will reach the boss.

The skull is quite a bit more difficult than the previous two. Like all bosses,
he will only take up the right portion of the screen. However, this one likes
to move in circles pretty quickly. He will stop and flash for a second when he
is about to make his attack. It is the exact same attack as the dragon boss,
except it will spit five fireballs instead of three that will cover a bigger
area so be careful.

--------------------
Stage 4
--------------------

Try to stay in the middle of the screen in a vertical sense. At random times,
you will see things just shooting around the top and bottom portions of the
sceren. Being in those will kill you. After a while, you'll see a bunch of
enemies appear around the whole screen in the shape of a heart, so don't stay
too far to the left. They won't do anything so you don't have to worry about
them, but afterwards you need to avoid the bottom half. More of those blocks
will shoot around. Shortly after, they'll come from the top so avoid them as
well. After the second heart formation that appears, move to the top left
corner to avoid the rain of fireballs from the top right. After a couple more
waves comes the boss.

This boss is very difficult. He will disappear and reappear randomly only to
attack. He will shoot the same three fireballs as the dragon while shooting a
similar shot to the witch immediately afterward. There really isn't much
strategy to this boss so unless you have all of the power ups, it will last a
very long time. Just be very careful because it's a very tough boss battle. He
will disappear for a minute after a while in the fight, but keep your guard up
because he'll come back.

Witch
  Stage 1
The witch is a nice and easy boss that seems to take forever to kill. It'd be
nice if they allowed you to shoot more than one arrow at a time. You'll really
wish that on some of the later bosses as well. Anyway, this boss moves along
the right half of the screen. She'll start in the top right and move left a
little. Then she'll move down, in which case she'll move right at the bottom.
The up to complete the cycle and repeat from there. She will shoot shots in
all directions to the left with the middle shot spiraling to cover a larger
area. Every now and then she'll try a direct shot at you so don't let it catch
you off guard. If you want to be safe, stay to the far left and you'll survive
easily, but it'll just take forever to kill her.

Dragon
  Stage 2
The dragon is a little more difficult than the witch. The boss moves along the
right side of the screen just like the witch except it moves side to side a
bit more often. The only attacks he makes is shooting three fireballs at once
to the left. He won't aim them at you, just to the left. Try to learn the
timing to his attacks so you can avoid them easily and quickly take him out.

Skull
  Stage 3
The Skull is a pretty tough boss. He moves around in quick and abrupt circles
only stopping to fire his fireballs. The fireballs are the same as the
dragon's attacks, except it will shoot two extra fireballs making it a total
of five instead of three. It will cover more of an area so it'll be a bit more
difficult to avoid. Be extra careful with this boss and do your best to kill
him.

Lips
  Stage 4
This boss is very difficult. He disappears and reappears only to shoot. His
attacks are the fireballs like the dragon and the normal shots like the witch.
There isn't any good strategies to this fight, you just have to do really
well. Hopefully you have the power ups to make this fight bearable, otherwise
you'll be sitting there for a long time trying to kill it.He will disappear
for a minute after a while in the fight, but keep your guard up because he'll
come back.

Birds:
  The birds are probably the easiest enemies in the game. They are killed with
  a single shot and like to fly in a straight line. They may fly at an angle
  but in most cases, they fly from right to left. Sometimes, they will also
  fire shots.

Bats:
  These are the same as birds, they just have different models. The only
  difference is they take two shots to kill.

Bees:
  The bees can be a pain to shoot from long distance if they like to move
  around a lot. They fly from left to right and alternate upwards and
  downwards. Some like to fly up and down more rapidly than others, making
  them more difficult to hit. Sometimes they will also fire shots.

Carpet Bombers:
  These will fly to the top or bottom depending on where they start to the far
  right and fire off some shots in all directions at once. After they fire two
  shots, they will fly straight to the left and fire one more along the top or
  bottom. They take two shots to kill.

Caped Bombers:
  These will fly around in all sorts of directions and fire single shots based
  on your location. They take two shots to kill and can be pretty tricky to
  get around.

Orbs:
  The orbs will move to the far left and then to the far right while shooting
  shots in all directions. Sometimes they will split in two up and down and
  then merge together again.

Dropping Orbs:
  These will move the same as the Caped Bombers, they just appear different.

Speed Boost - The Speed Boost item is obvious, it allows you to move a lot
             quicker for quite a bit of time. It is designated as the "S"
             icon.

Health      - As you have probably noticed, if you get hit once, you die. Not
             with the heart! Pick it up to survive longer.

Power Shot  - The power shot allows you to shoot more than one arrow at a time,
             it's a very useful item, especially at long range. After the
             first upgrade, it will shoot three shots at once. It is
             designated as the "P" icon.

1 Up        - The 1 Up will give you an extra life. The icon for it is your
             character's head.
