Quartet


Tips

There's an item you get that lets you fly. Get it as soon as possible
in all levels, it will make your whole life much easier.

When you kill a boss, of course, take the key you get from it. You'll
need it to quit the level.

When you kill a monster, take the little thing that appears, is it a
flower? It's worth points. With points you get power.

Don't quit a level without getting the star, else you'll have to
repeat levels.

1st level
Star is easy to find, it appears in the air between two colums.
There's an item to give you energy under the platform on which the
bird boss is. You have to advance there on your knees. Shoot many
times on the end of that passage's wall and the item will appear.

2nd level
When you take the door to the 2nd part of the level, after defeating
the boss, there is a place on top where you find three monsters that 
are like eyes on a red square, they are one above the other in a
column. Shoot the one at the top of them and the star will appear.

When you get back to the door to the 1st part, use the door again,
and you'll get warped to a bonus round where all monsters give you
500 or 2000 points. Try not to lose your "wings" else they will be
a hell to kill. If you die here, you die for real, too. But you
shouldn't.

Near the boss (lizard), there is a place where two monsters appear
regularly with a short distance in between. If you stand there and
kill many of them, I mean MANY, you'll get points that will make you
get advancement which will help for the next levels. If you could
get yourself 120,000 little points here, it would be very nice for
later. Because you'd be a colonel and shoot with a larger beam.
And further.

3rd level
It's easier to go through that level if you cross the first door you
see and make your way to the boss from the other side.

If you're a colonel, you won't have too much trouble making your way
through the white balls, because your beam makes you a way large
enough for you to pass.

Near the boss where you see destroyable balls (like eggs or so),
there's an item that will make you unvulnerable for a few seconds. It
will help you for killing the boss.

Star is on the other side (kind of egyptian look), near the exit, you
see many pots, some with bombs on it, and one with nothing. Shoot that
one on the side, and the star will appear (after defeating the boss)

4th level
To get the star, you have to kill the boss, then destroy all the
"Abukutsu", monsters at the right end of the level on both sides. Once
you're done with them, the star will appear in the middle of the level,
but I don't remember on which side. Try both.

5th level
This one's kinda hard. When you start, check where you put your feet.
On the other side, when you cross the door, there is an item to get
points right under the door at the end of the passage there. Just
shoot there many times and you'll get it.

See the skeleton there too? When you kill it, hit the white balls
around him and you'll get the star.

Stay on top of the screen and make your way left. I hope you're at
least a colonel. When you arrive near the boss (kind of horse head),
shoot him when he's shooting at you.

6th level
If you have all your stars you should arrive here. You'll see 
4 sarcophagus you'll have to kill in a certain order to get your key.
When you're at a wrong one, you can't shoot it, it's unvulnerable. To 
kill one, shoot a few hits on its body, the head will go and fly, find
it and shoot at it as fast as you can. Beware the little flames both
head and body will shoot at you.

When you're done with those 4, the big boss is waiting for you, then
you finish the game.
