First loop in this game isn't too challenging, but the second loop gets really insane in quite a few parts.
Hayate has very powerful options, but the lack of direct homing makes popcorn in the loop very dangerous at times. It allows for efficient speedkilling though.
I had some nasty stuff during 2-1 which kept me on my toes for the rest of the run. First death was due to one unplanned bomb in 2-4.
Overall, this went pretty well, bosses 2-5 and 2-8 were fun and quite tense.
