Thanks for clearing that up Hoobs I also need to practice those later worlds more.
Blazing Lazers. Got to the final level (for the 5th time) every time I get a game over there I die a little inside.
I'm in the same boat. I can make it to the last level without too much of a struggle, but then the game just points and laughs at me.
You guys need to accumulate a lot of those flashing orbs that clear the screen of enemies. Every time you get one of those you can respawn from where you died once (like Soldier Blade) instead of returning to a checkpoint. The more of those you get the more times you can respawn without going back to a checkpoint.
Basically if you can clear most of the game without dying and collect a lot of those you can beat the last level with brute force.
