This was a neat game I came across during Mystery Triathlon game searching. A simple puzzle game that can get pretty intense if a mistake is made. I thought it'd be neat to TAS to see the difference in real time and tool assisted play.
The goal of this TAS is to reach the 1 million points necessary to get the good ending in the main game mode. While combos give big points in normal play, the TAS approach is to get the quickest All Clears possible. There's some waiting before clearing the All Clear screens to manipulate the next star line spawns in ideal formations. For comparison, my unassisted times for this game fall in around the 20-30 minute range.
