I got the first 3 endings, but I'm not sure how to get the hidden one. The description says that there will be a hint, but I don't see one.

EDIT: Lol, I got it!

A tight boss rush that’s challenging without being too brutal. The graphics have a sleek minimalist style with tons of little visual flairs and animations. On top of all that, the music takes it to another level, ranging from relaxing and energetic. Fighting the same boss for the tenth time is soothed by a calming track or perked up by the fun beat. A real gem overall.

Wow, what a cool game!  I played to one of the endings so far, and the bosses are so well designed, the artwork and palette are wonderful, the mechanics are smooth and have very satisfying visual/audio feedback.   I love this level of challenge.  I hadn't read all your instructions until after I finished, but dashing through attacks came intuitively from your design.  An all-around excellent game!  Thank  you!

...and I had to come back to  beat all the bosses/endings, and I found the secret ending (it took me a while!) as well.  Fun game!

Hi! We played your game on stream and really enjoyed it!

Awesome, so addictive. Art style and sounds are great. Superb game.

エイリアンソルジャーと罪と罰を思い出させます。菅波秀幸のゲームは好きですか?

アクションのリズムは素敵です。いいゲーム! 

#502は難しいでした! でも、好きでした!

I've beaten all of the bosses, but I didn't see the hint. Where's the hint?

Edit: I just realized how to get the ending, nice game btw

HOWWWWW

Here's a hint: after beating all levels a hint appears somewhere. No matter what you do, you'll see it on every run, although you might not realize it's there.

In Boss #602, I learned some tech for speed-running the boss. By leaning again a wall, the right wall, for example, keep holding right to dash in place. This will grant you a moment of invincibility, and if used properly, can basically skip it's second turn of the first move. I'm coining this technique a wall dash.

Cool game
