Started tour mode on Expert and died in 2 seconds. Ok maybe I should learn to play before jumping to the highest difficulty. So I beat tour on Normal. Then beat panic mode to level 99, which was intense and took a lot of save state scumming. It was so intense that I had to spend a few lives. The most important thing was to get the star powerup, which destroyed all bubbles, instead of the weak time stop powerup. Then I went back to beat tour on Expert, which was easy compared to panic mode. The gun was obviously the best weapon, but after that I preferred the grappling hook for setting traps. I found it better to anticipate where the bubbles would go and have them bump into the chain part of shots rather than try for direct hits, so I could be out of the way. But sometimes that strategy was too slow and I needed to get under and burst rapidly from below. Another important strategy was going for the smallest bubbles first to minimize the number of enemies that had the be dealt with at one time, and observing bounce trajectories to only shoot enemies that could get to me. Thus the dynamite powerup was usually bad. A very fun game, but felt like it could have had more content.
