Any% Tutorial (Video)

Here's a video with me going over the run and giving tips on how to improve :) The full route is in the description, but it only has like one or two differences from Infiaria's guides.

Level 1 Analysis

There are six symbols in the game: 
→ (Red symbol)  
↓ (Blue symbol)  
Λ (Green symbol)  
V (Yellow symbol) 
֍(Lightning - clears one symbol off each ghost on screen and used at the end of the final boss sequence)
Note I can't find a Unicode character for lightning but you know what it looks like.
♥ (Heart - restores one heart)

Every level has a set of waves. The next wave appears when all the ghosts in the current wave are dead. However, some waves have timings so ghosts at a certain time - there's no way to speed this up. (a quite clear example of this is in Stage 2 before the boss) Therefore, you should focus on the last ghost(s) of a wave to get a good time. As general advice, you should just spam the symbol that comes next (you can look at this guide) and then read the rest.

The first ghost(s) in a wave is named Ghost 0.0s. If ghost(s) comes at a set time after these first ghost(s), it will be named after their respective times (e.g. Ghost 0.5s, Ghost 1.0s). These times are rounded to the nearest 1/10s due to awkward 30FPS recording. After you clear a wave, it takes 1.7±1.0s for the ghost(s) of the next wave to appear, whose level depends on certain stages, being hit by the last ghost, and if there is an upcoming boss.

I also recommend you play the game several times before reading this - that way you don't have to look at the reference every step of the way.

Notes:

Wave 6
Same as Wave 5

Boss
Stage 1: Λ→Λ↓ Λ→Λ↓

Notes:
• The music cuts out if you skip the cutscene too fast. (at least on my PC)
• It takes 0.6s for the Level 1 boss to transition from one stage for the next.
• The time it takes to draw the final symbol to first ghosts appearing in Stage 2 is 18.6s.
• tSu_nAmi's mod note is no longer applicable now D:

Level 2 Analysis

Λ (Green symbol)  
V (Yellow symbol)

Strategy: There's time between each ghost appearance and the next, so take your time, but make sure to kill the last ghost as quickly as possible to set off the next wave.

Boss Stage 1
Ghost 1.8s¤: →→→
Ghost 1.8s¤: ↓↓↓
Boss: →→Λ→→

Ghost 1.0s¤¤: →↓
Boss: ↓→Λ→↓
Strategy: ΛV→↓ then ↓→Λ→↓ for the boss
¤ Timed from final boss pattern symbol

Notes:
• Strangely enough, failing to kill the ghosts on the second and third stages causes the boss to laugh indefinitely and cause the game to softlock.
• It takes 0.6s for the Level 2 boss to transition from ghost to boss pattern.
• The time it takes to draw the final symbol to first ghosts appearing in Stage 3 is 18.5s.

Level 3 Analysis

There are six symbols in the game: 
→ (Red symbol)  
↓ (Blue symbol)  
Λ (Green symbol)  
V (Yellow symbol) 
֍(Lightning - clears one symbol off each ghost on screen and used at the end of the final boss sequence)
Note I can't find a unicode character for lightning but you know what it looks like.
♥ (Heart - restores one heart)

When I type Ghost A / Ghost B, etc. it means Ghost B will come shortly after Ghost A.
If they're the same they come in at once.

Every level has a set of waves. The next wave appears when all the ghosts in the current wave are dead. However, some waves have timings so ghosts at a certain time - there's no way to speed this up. (a quite clear example of this is in Stage 2 before the boss) Therefore, you should focus on the ¤last¤ ghost(s) of a wave to get a good time. As general advice, you should just spam the symbol that comes next (you can look at this guide) and then read the rest.

[Level 3]

Wave 1
Ghost 0.0s: ↓→Λ
Ghost 0.0s: V→Λ
Strategy: ↓V→Λ

Wave 2
Ghost 0.0s:  →Λ→V→Λ→V
Ghost 0.0s:  ↓Λ↓V↓Λ↓V
Strategy: →↓Λ→↓V→↓Λ→↓V (A tip for this is to look at the top ghost and draw →↓ when you see →)

Wave 3
Ghost 0.0s:  ↓V↓→
Ghost 0.0s: →VΛ→
Ghost 0.0s:  ↓→↓Λ
Strategy: ↓→V↓Λ→ (You have to memorize this :( )

Ghost 1.0s: ֍
Ghost 3.0s: →
Ghost 6.0s; ↓Λ↓→
Ghost 6.0s; V↓V→
Ghost 9.0s: →
Strategy: Take care of the first → ghost, then when 6s ghosts appear, draw V↓ΛV↓֍ then →

Wave 5
Ghost 0.0s: V→
Ghost 0.0s: V→
Ghost 0.0s: →
Ghost 0.0s: ↓Λ→

Ghost 2.8s: ֍
Ghost 3.0s: ↓
Ghost 3.2s: Λ
Ghost 3.4s: V
Ghost 3.6s: →
Strategy: When the first ֍ appears, draw it, then wait until all the ghosts have spawned until you do the second ֍. Make sure to not draw the first ֍ too late otherwise it will destroy the second ֍. Just watch my video if you don't understand.

Boss
Stage 1: →ΛV
Stage 2: V↓→
Stage 3: →ΛV
Stage 4: →↓V
Stage 5: ↓Λ↓

Notes:
• The time between the boss appearing and the first pattern is 2.0s
• It takes 2.3 seconds for the boss to go to its next pattern.
• The time it takes to draw the final symbol to first ghosts appearing in Stage 4 is 18.0s

I also recommend you play the game several times before reading this - that way you don't have to look at the reference every step of the way.

[Level 4]

Wave 1
Ghost 0.0s: ΛΛVVΛΛ
Ghost 1.0s: →
Ghost 2.5s: ↓
Ghost 4.0s; →
Strategy: Beware the fast ghosts.

Wave 2
Ghost 0.0s: →V→Λ→V→Λ
Ghost 1.0s: ↓
Ghost 3.0s: ↓
Ghost 5.0s; ↓
Ghost 7.0s: ↓
Strategy: Mash ↓ at the end.

Wave 3
Ghost 0.0s: VVVV
Ghost 0.0s: ↓↓↓↓
Ghost 0.0s: ΛΛΛΛ
Ghost 1.0s: →
Ghost 3.0s: →
Ghost 5.0s; →
Ghost 7.0s: →
Ghost 9.0s: →
Strategy: Continue mashing ↓. Mash → at the end.

Wave 4
Ghost 0.0s: →→VΛ→→VΛ→→
Ghost 1.0s: ↓
Ghost 3.0s: ↓
Ghost 5.0s; →→↓↓→Λ→↓↓
Ghost 6.0s: V
Ghost 8.0s: V
Ghost 10.0s: V→V→V→
Ghost 11.0s: Λ
Ghost 13.0s: Λ
Ghost 15.0s: Λ
Ghost 17.0s: Λ
Strategy: Like in Stage 2, don't rush because all of these ghosts are on set timers. Just kill Ghost 17s as fast as possible to set off the next wave (which is difficult because mashing Λ is hard)

Wave 5
Ghost 0.0s: ↓
Ghost 0.0s: →
Ghost 0.0s: Λ
Ghost 0.0s; V
Ghost 0.0s: V→
Ghost 0.0s: Λ↓
Ghost 0.0s: VΛ
Ghost 0.0s: ΛV
Strategy: All ghosts appear at the same time, but top ghost is the fastest and bottom ghost is the slowest. Try VΛ↓→VΛ but be quick since top ghost is fast.

Wave 6:
Ghost 0.0s: →
Ghost 0.0s: ↓
Ghost 0.0s: →
Ghost 0.0s: ↓
Ghost 0.0s: →
Ghost 0.0s: V↓→V
Ghost 0.0s: Λ→→Λ
Ghost 0.0s: V→→V
Ghost 0.0s: Λ→↓Λ
Ghost 0.0s: Λ→↓Λ
Strategy: First 5 ghosts are fastest. →↓ then VΛ↓→→↓VΛ

Boss
Stage 1: ΛΛVVΛΛVV
Stage 2: ↓↓→↓↓→V→
Stage 3: →→Λ→↓→→V
And randomly generated ghosts - one comes 1.0s after the boss then one/two ghosts every 3.0s
Strategy: Focus on the boss, ignore the other ghosts, since the level ends when the ¤boss¤ is dead! Take a few hits, if you can.

Notes:
• This stage has a theme of a really slow, complicated ghosts accompanied with fast, simple ghosts. You should really focus on the complicated ones, so that does mean tanking a few lives. Hopefully that won't be a problem.
• It takes 0.6s for the Level 4 boss to transition from one stage for the next. 
• The time it takes to draw the final symbol to the cutscene is 14.0s. 
• The cutscene to stage 5 is 9.0s long.

Level 5 Analysis

The final level! This is the one where you dexterity is needed the most!

There are six symbols in the game: 
→ (Red symbol)  
↓ (Blue symbol)  
Λ (Green symbol)  
V (Yellow symbol) 
֍(Lightning - clears one symbol off each ghost on screen and used at the end of the final boss sequence)

Ghost 1.8s¤¤ ¤¤¤: Λ
Ghost 2.0s¤¤ ¤¤¤: V

Strategy: Ghosts here are fast so easy →↓ΛV. Then it's the final boss sequence -- if you're good enough, you should be able to take the boss out without losing a life!
¤¤ Spawns off-screen so I can't check.
¤¤¤ Timed from final boss pattern symbol

Notes:
• Don't choke :P
• It takes 0.6s for the final boss to transition from ghosts to boss pattern.
• The time it takes to draw the final symbol to score screen is 14.0s

Hello everyone!

Today Twitch announced that they will be limiting the total amount of highlights that a user can post to 100 hours. The vast majority of runs on this game are already on YouTube so this doesn't affect many of you, but I wanted to strongly suggest that you do not use Twitch Highlight
