Full run.
Since you go 1px/f and boss levels ends as soon as you leave the level, this TAS doesn't lose a single frame up to the final boss start.
Final boss...
Since upgrades are taken off when leaving a boss screen, we can't use the aimbot machine gun only the machine gun with 1 bullet... so spread gun is better (since we still get 3 bullets in 1 fire) All blue orbs can be manipulated. I need to sacrifice 1 frame to avoid touching the sphinx's or wtf mouth while destroying it to avoid losing life to still use spread gun to punish the other one too.
I believe I could somehow go past the orbs and finish the first sphinx later and the second one much earlier.

Crappy game as usual (color dreams). First two levels+boss done.
  • avoids bomb usage (literally kills everyone on the screen and it has infinite ammo... seriously. doesn't works on bosses however)
  • (controlling the randomly) spawning enemies as long as it's possible to get through them without firing them (entertainment).
Some newbie infos:
  • Hitting a wall (even vertically) nullifies your horizontal movement speed.
  • You can randomly collide with a wall while moving forward and falling down. This is probably because how the game handles the walls while scrolling the camera forward. Worst scenario is 6 frames of hitting the last displayed tile on the right edge of the screen. Obviously we need to avoid this everytime.
  • basic/rocket weapon fires 1 bullet max and 1 dmg for boss.
  • shotgun/spread weapon fires 3 bullets max and 1 dmg for boss.
  • machine gun/rifle weapon fires (starting from 2 to) 3 bullet max and 1 dmg for boss.
  • Upgrades taken away after boss fights.
  • Power ups can be lost by taking damage / dying.
Tricks
Upgraded aimbot machine gun
as long as one of your bullets hit the boss, the previous two will be removed from the screen and added as dmg (3) or if you shoot the remaining two bullets as long as the "hit" bullet is on the screen. So theoritically, you can do 5 dmg with 3 bullets where you only need to hit once.
And finally the route (so far): Level 1 > get machine gun + upgrade > Level 2 boss warp. Going to level 3 warp (from level 2) is much slower because I decimate bosses.
