Read the title, this is the DEMO version, not the full game.
Metroidvania/Castletroid fans should watch this video too because the game is heavily inspired from Super Metroid and Castlevania.Symphony of the Night.

The main differences in difficulty is that:
In Casual you can surive at least 50 bullets with 100 units of health before dying.
In Insane you can surive at least 3 bullets with 100 units of health before dying.

Insane difficulty also gives you a huge boost in Experience points when going to new areas and defeating enemies meaning leveling up is more likely to occur.

I started the run at level 19 because every 10 levels you get a significant boost. For example, at level 10 your health will now be at 200 units without any Health Upgrade pickups. In this video I do end up at level 20 which means another significant boost and that is having the entire map shown.

I need to know a way to start a new game at level 1 without having to erase my save data from the File Management menu. Otherwise for a New Game Plus it is best to start the run at the maximum possible level (I don't know what is the highest possible level ti is at the mement, 50, 100???)

Improvements from the previous run:
* Door unlocked cutscene is skipped.
* The 2nd boss is now optimised.
* The tunnel section before the pistol is a bit faster too.

Parts that were slower than the casual run
* I grabbed a ledge before going underneath the tunnel to trigger the cut-scene where Clair gets kidnapped.
* There was slowdown at one of the ladders.
* In the giant room with 2 guards on the lower section I took a stealth route and then jump near to them to make them perform a melee attack which misses and gives me enough time to escape. Rushing through the area is suicide, you'll be dead in a few shots.
* After the swimming section there was a notable part that took me 5 seconds to get up to the higher platform. I hate that part.
* The area that has walljumping, I killed a guard because he can kill me in a few seconds, if I didn't shoot back.
