Hints and Tips
The Manual
As always, you really should read the manual. In case you don't have the manual, AtariAge has a typed copy available online. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide any specific hints.
We played this game once before in the High Score Club, you might want to check out that thread for more hints.

- Read the tips in the thread from last time. There are lots of tips and ideas on different ways to approach the game. I'll just add some of my thoughts to add to these tips.
- For the small oo ships, try using a duck-in-shoot-duck-out-the-same-side method. I had been trying to do the cross-under-and-shoot thing, but I found I was more consistent the other way. If the small ship is chasing across the screen or if you're gonna get trapped in the corner, you have to do the cross-under-and-shoot and take your chances.
- Sometimes the lowest level gets lower than usual and kind of bears down on the ship. If you can shoot one of the upper level demons, it seems to take the pressure off and the lower level demons will move back up to their normal height.
- For the wider demons, once you get the bottom one split, go for splitting the rest. When the half-a-demon starts diving, keep shooting the bigs ones. The little ones will chase the ship, so you're gonna end up getting them anyhow. But in the meantime, the whole level can be cleared in a splitting/diving festival.

- On the wave with the big green demons who look like Frisbees,
These can be tricky, it's very tough to run under them, so what I do, is "wait" next to the demons fire, and for the lowest demons fire to dissolve, then quickly get under and shoot! Then swing back away before the demon fires again! This works like a charm to get passed this wave, around the (800 points) stage. - When you reach the first wave when demons SPLIT
It's best to aim for the demons in the second and third rows above, by hitting these in two, or even destroying them over and over you can get rid of many waves of demons. That way there's less demon fire to dodge all the time, however you have to avoid or shoot the birdies that fly down at ya... which brings to the next tip. - On the splitting demon waves.
Now to destroy the demon birds flying down at ya, you either try to get under them and shoot, and if that doesn't work, swing to left or right next to the "demon-bird" itself above, and then quickly get back under it, and shoot again! This usually puts the birds in shooting range to kill 'em. Keep swinging left and right of these birds to kill 'em, and if you can't swing far away, hopefully away from any demon ships firing above!
YOU SHOULD TAKE A RISK and kill the birds flying down, so you can concentrate more on finishing the wave. Only if you can get a good shoot do you want to run from the birds,
as they can make you run into demons fire. - Having trouble getting backed into corners by Demon fire?
Well, maybe a little known fact, I discovered "the bottom row" demons move or mimic your movements most of times, especially later in advanced waves. So, by moving the joystick left-right swiftly (consistently), you can move the demons away from your ship!, and they don't push you into the walls! Just make sure you don't move under the lowest Demons fire range, UNLESS you plan to escape to other side, or kill 'em. - THOSE TINY Demons that split two fire lasers at once...
These are tough, this is the MOST important (2) waves in to "wiggle" the joystick left/right in a bit faster clip then before, and TRY to destroy the two top Demon rows, and leave the bottom one alone if you can, this way you can eliminate more demons near the top and not have to deal with the two laser fire which is hell difficult, to swing across beneath.
