Crazy hard, or I just suck. Can't fail too many times or you can't play the next level/stage/part/whatever. And if you fail 8 times ("cuts"), it's game over. So while not getting too many cuts or lose too much health AND are fast enough so the timer doesn't run out, you'll make it to the next level/stage/part/whatever. Fail and you have to restart from the beginning of the current level.

Only found one playthrough/longplay of this game, but he didn't include the last level for some reason (edit: found the reason, I think, putting it in the last paragraph), and yet he got the "great job !"/"the end" parts. Without the manual I would have no idea how to finish the last level. I kept dying to the rocket as I couldn't outrun it, so looked in the manual and it said I had to press fire to jump out of the flying thingy. After that I kept failing the landing, became game over so many times. Again, checked the manual and apparently I had to press up + fire (or whatever it was) at the right moment to land properly, I never managed to do it, kept failing... but what worked was just spamming fire and all directions randomly like crazy.

According to Hall of Light (http://hol.abime.net/263) this game only contains two of the three levels of the C64 version. But the version I longplayed has all three. So maybe the player I mentioned earlier used an older version. I can't find any info about a newer or different Amiga versions. Seems to be only one, or the different disks in the Tosec are not properly labeled. Anyway, HoL should update their info. Even the manual mentions all three levels in both C64 and Amiga version.
