Watch as nitsuja completely destroys this difficult game with amazingly precise movement. This playthrough saves Curly and finishes with the best ending after beating Ballos.

The program used to make this run, Hourglass, was also developed by nitsuja—with the creation of this run in mind. As such, it is our first published run of a Windows game.

This run features commentary by the author in the form of soft subtitles. There is also an experimental 10-bit YUV444 encode available, which requires relatively recent media player software / codecs (try LAVFilters for Windows, or mplayer2).

In this movie, cstrakm braves the bullet hell head-on and lives to tell the tale. Reading the author's comments is highly recommended.

The author puts this naked ninja through his paces, beating the entire game in under 3 minutes. Many advanced super-precision techniques are used to control the character effectively; reading the author's comments is recommended.

Despite its short length, there is quite a bit of room for neat tricks and shortcuts, most of which are detailed here.

You can also watch a TAS of another game by the same developer, Nikujin.
