(Please start from my first video's description if you want to learn about how to play on Standard)

Continuing on, I will talk about Standard mode. There are 3 small differences from Novice, but they change the game drastically:
* Life-ups only increase your lives by 1 instead of up to the maximum.
* You begin on Phase Level 6 instead of Phase Level 1.
* The upper limit for Phase Level is now 21 instead of 11.
That last one is by far the most important difference! Phase Level 21 is Demonic mode by definition, the hardest difficulty, so unless you enjoy eating suicide bullets to the face you definitely do not want your Phase Level to rise that high!

So, how can you control the Phase Level? There are several things that can change it:
+1 for each Alter Break
+1 for each Boss Lifebar depleted
+1 for using a Bomb during the "Death-Bomb" window
-1 for getting Hit (auto-bomb hits count too)
-1 for using a Bomb

Since I'm trying to get every Alter Break and beat all the bosses I see, the only way I can keep my Phase Level at a manageable level is by intentionally ramming into bullets as much as I can and bombing at opportune times. I can take advantage of the fact that every boss and Alter Break provides a Life-up to get hit far more than I would normally do.

Also for this, I highly, HIGHLY recommend turning off the Auto-Bomb option, since you only lose 1 Phase Level when the auto-bomb goes off, but you can lose 2 Phase Levels by getting hit and using a bomb sometime later! Also, there will be plenty of times where you will want to deal heavy damage with a bomb for Alter Break purposes, and leaving auto-bomb on is a recipe for not having bomb meter when you want it.
