I actually went, and pumped up the numbers on all of the player resources >_>
I think it's something along the lines of
Regular shot, low power: 33 -> 40
Regular shot, high power: 28 -> 32
Gear Axis blast, low power: 70 -> 95
Gear Axis blast, high power: 48 -> 62
Homing missile: 28 -> 44
Laser, low power: 3 -> 5
Laser, high power: 2 -> 3
Blast missile: 60 -> 78
Blast missile splash: 1 -> 2
Yellow star: 35 -> 48
Blue star: 3 -> 5
Gear Axis Bomb: 6,000 -> 6,600
Solar Hydra Bomb: 11,000 -> 13,000
Nategasa Bomb: 12,000 -> 14,000
As a result, everything dies about five seconds before it normally would. Which could be a positive or a negative thing, depending on how you look at it.
Nategasa has, technically, the weakest shottype, but she has the strongest bomb and the longest immunity after using one. Shotgunning helps, though, because you can outdamage the Solar Hydra by sitting in an enemy's face.
I haven't done much HP changing for fear of people immediately latching on to whatever it is I changed with frothing disdain.
HURRRK WHY DOES LASER MAZE RAIN HAVE 18,000 HP NOW
I might settle with adding 1 to 2 thousand hitpoints across the board.
I turned down the constant on the second bosses' final attack that causes the white orbs to be fired in different directions. It practically requires you to time the attack out before it bothers to move them around.
Greatsword is a weird case because you usually terminate it like two seconds before it really makes you move. And there's a cap on how far it'll rotate anyway.
And do be warned that the higher difficulty is quite higher in difficulty.
(By that I mean it's the difference between a no-death run and a one-life-remaining-clear-with-no-bombs for me, and this is before we get to Stage 5 :getdown: )
Thanks for playing it!
Do tell me what you think of the harder difficulty on Stage 4, provided you beat it :V
(My highscores are 460m and 340m for Standard and Advanced :fail: )
Which fourth boss did you end up beating first?
One is specifically easier on one difficulty and harder on the other.
