This is a rather old game that I used to enjoy a lot around a decade ago. It's a competitive runner style video game software, created by EasyGameStation. This video showcases the two hardest challenges of the game - Collecting and finishing each stage with every gem for the Golem and Dragon boss levels.

The Golem stage is rather short, but requires a very good precision and time is very essential. One wrong move can easily end an attempt, as this stage doesn't really give you a lot of room for mistakes. One of the key factor for the increased difficulty is the auto- scrolling and the fact that the boss that chases you takes around 1/3 of the screen, which reaches up to 2/3 if you do not keep him constantly under fire. Picking up items alongside the many scattered gems to control the Golem's advancement is pretty important. Overall, I think the hardest part is at the start of the stage and as you go further, things start to ease out a bit.

The Dragon Boss stage is the opposite. This stage requires you to take your time a bit more, in order to avoid any attacks by the dragon. While you are not forced by an auto- scrolling, you still need to be mindful of the dragon's pattern rotation. Keep in mind, dropping any gems into a pitfall will ruin any run, as the game doesn't care if a gem can be recovered or not.

While the dragon will make each lap harder by removing more and more of the terrain permanently, falling into a hole does not make you drop any gems, so that's a bit of a relief, and if anything, can also be abused to dodge attacks and re- position better on the stage.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Clearing every stage with Gem- perfect stamp will grant you the unlock of the custom color No:10. I think this is the hardest thing one can unlock in this game, as the rest of the challenges are pretty lackluster on that regard.

Unfortunately the game is rather buggy, (At least the Steam version) so currently achievements like clearing Time Attack or The 20 hours play session total won't unlock both in game, in the Records menu and on Steam's list.

Thus, I used my older copy that I had to unlock them by transferring save file and for some magical reason it worked perfectly.

I think this game had a lot of promise before, but sadly, the lack of dedicated client for multiplayer might have been its downfall. Still, if you want a short and easygoing game, Tokkyu Tenshi is pretty good. Of course, if you want to challenge yourself to the max, feel free to clear these stages that I did in the video. Surprisingly, both took me at around 3 hours dedicated time. Good luck!
