Walkthrough
Welcome to this wonderful shoot 'em up.
All progression achievements are related to boss kills and will unlock after completing third level... in a single life.

First Level

Bosses show up after reaching certain scores, to get them easily, focus on picking up the "weed" power-up, it randomly drops from dead enemies.


Weed power-up will make you invulnerable to all damage, it will also let you kill enemies on touch.
Make sure to run into as many enemies as you can while wearing it, as that's the easiest way to rack up points.

First boss is pretty easy to reach, it only requires 2500 points.


Straightforward boss here, just keep moving from left to right while avoiding his head, which will drop down when you go under it. Enemies will also spawn from sides, don't forget to avoid those as well.

This is a good opportunity to get 100% accuracy achievement, just time your shoots well and don't
spam click/spacebar like a crazy. It shouldn't take more than a few attempts.

Note: When the boss's head drops down, it will always go to left side, keep this in mind if you're going for 100% accuracy achievement.

You'll get this after defeating first boss (only unlocks after losing):

SAD!



Also this if you did it with 100% accuracy:

I NEVER MISS
Kill a boss with 100% accuracy.

Second Level

Second level is similar to first level but with way more enemy spawns, also reptilians/swastikas/cops will be introduced here. Reptilians will move fast from left to right while swastikas just go straight down. Cop cars are exactly like red cars but faster.

Second boss shows up at ~19k score.

This is where the difficulty ramps up infinitely, but don't be scared as there's a pretty good trick to easily defeat this and all subsequent bosses.


What to do? easy, just go out of bounds, there's a spot where you are unreachable by boss attacks (I took top left corner to hide). Your only job will be going down+shoot whenever the boss is looking to the other side, just like in the following screenshot.


Takes a while using this method, but it's definitely the safest way to do it.

If done correctly, you should get (only after losing):

VERY COOL!

Third Level

Third level is more or less the same as second one, with a lot of more enemies.
This is the perfect chance to get:

MARTIAL ARTS MASTER
Get a kill streak of at least 20 with a powerup active.



Just grab weed power-up and ran into as many enemies as you can, should come really fast if you get a good bunch grouped together.

Third boss shows up at ~33k score.


Use the same method that you've used for the 2nd boss, hide in one corner (preferable left) and go down only when you have the chance. This boss has 2 life bars.

If you were good enough to kill both, you will get (only after losing):

DOUBLE TROUBLE



Game continues endlessly after that, but there's no point in keeping going (unless you want a higher leaderboard position, of course). You can safely die at that point.

Wow, MMM achievement unlock when you type code - big thanks for that!
When i tried unlock all ach, I thought it was necessary to kill the next boss after two heads. Next came the boss of three heads, but it is simply impossible to kill him. :steamfacepalm:
