We only store minimal local data (like your high score) in your browser. We don’t track your identity or sell your information. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Why do some bosses feel too hard?
Bosses are designed with escalating difficulty, but you can replay earlier stages to earn upgrades that make later fights more manageable.
Is there a way to practice against a boss?
