zakiwana guide - boss: the cherry squad

the room before this will give you 3 difficulties:

• easy mode:nerfed attacks, spawns saves every 3 bosses
• normal mode:no saves until the final boss
• random mode:random boss order, no saves, type IMO to unlock

no differences are made to the main route by choosing any of these

about the boss itself

it's a battle between 10 cherries, each of different color. you have infinite jump, but there's both a floor and ceiling, so dying off-screen is not possible

when a cherry makes its introduction you'll get the chance to roll a casino roulette at the bottom right corner of the screen. if all the numbers are the same, a boss instantly dies. if you get 777, a boss dies and the next 2 are skipped

sometimes a message box will appear at the top of the screen. that's a countdown for an attack that does not kill you, but rather is a visual distraction that lasts for a couple of seconds

hints for the boss

the dialog box at the bottom sometimes provides useful hints during the battle:

• S key lets you auto-spam shoot
• A key lets you auto-spam jump
• N key on the green cherry makes his attack easier to predict
