Another video to show some ship setups I made, along with some levels not shows in my Engage Run.

Ships used :
- One that's pretty much random. I used another one mid-level to destroy more things.
- One centered around Missile Spam.

First, Asteroid 1. The only level with a weird item ; the first yellow ships drop some... yellow ball that revolves around you for a short time if you pick it up. It does massive damage to anything it touches, and can even destroy the largest asteroids. However, it couldn't now ; probably because to get to this level, I continued my game after finishing Episode 5, which means the difficulty was automatically raised.

Oh yeah, you get to choose between Asteroid 1 and Asteroid 2, only in Full Game. This wouldn't be so hard on Engage, probably easier than Asteroid 2. However, the boss is freaking annoying. The Firebomb would decimate it, but otherwise it is a very hard boss.


As for Sawblades, it's the other secret level you can get in the Stargate level, in episode 3. "Stargate" has 4 enemies dropping 4 secret level balls, two leading to Sawblades, two leading to Asteroid City. It's 95% luck to determine which one you'll get.

Sawblades has no bosses per se (as opposed to Asteroid City), but has several very powerful enemies. They are mostly passive, however, and very few ships will actually shoot at you. It's mostly a level of avoiding rocks and mines.
It's much easier than Asteroid City ; in there, you face more bosses than anywhere else, along with firebullet turrets, and ALSO random falling rocks, only some SHOOT at you.

You can fight enemy FoodShip9s here. Weird. They don't even shoot. However, the last one drops a very special weapon : Hot Dogs. Pick it up, and you'll get a Front and Rear HotDog Blaster, at the level of your current weapons. Although decently powerful, the HotDog blaster is probably weaker than your current weapons. See how my destruction slowed down when I picked it up.

Note : You CAN pick up the HotDog Blaster in Engage Mode, and it WILL replace your Atomic Railgun. However, remember the Atomic Railgun is WAY more powerful than it looks, and getting HotDogs will make the run even harder. You'll get a rear weapon, yes, but at level 1, it won't do anything in Engage.
