Another attempt since the previous "Best Failed Attempt So Far" video. This one was alot better, though I fucked up alot toward the end and only made it slightly farther. I should have kept up the good momentum but I did earn a 4th default life from playing. That will help alot, plus Im getting better with each attempt. It should go down soon.
The game can respawn you in deadly areas if you die at bad times and you will die again right away most likely. This happened in stage 4 (the second level I chose) with the stage boss. I should have not died at all on that easy boss, but that killed the momentum of the run.
