finally beat Hard mode

I love the Ridley fight but fuck him. USE THE ICE BEAM FOR THE LAST PHASE. Struggled with Omega Pirate too until I looked up that you can use power bombs. Final boss wasn’t too bad compared to those. But yeah it was a good challenge and dying a lot made me appreciate that there is skill involved with the shooting. Like I died a lot to the pirates, but you learn to use cover and jump around a lot. Also the missile-power-up-things for each beam are really useful.

This game is amazing.
