If you watched this video before, do it again, at least on the final bosses. It's properly recorded now, without freezes. Like it deserves.

Trial+ includes the hidden stage and TLB. To reach this on a trial run, you must beat the first 8 stages with 6 lives left (6 hearts on the UI).

This game is incredibly menacing on Nightmare, but on hindsight it's not that bad if you go full defensive. My previous, dumb attempts had me thinking that I had to kill fast to survive, and so went full glass cannon on both shots, but that's not going to work. It wasn't until I learned to do some things that I managed to clear it: 
-Ditch the homing shot. I used it for my Expert clear since I considered incredibly useful for beginners, but it lacks damage. That's a given for balance's sake. Unfortunately, if I did that last year, I would catastrophically die at stages since I didn't know how to handle enemies' locations. Now that I have some small CAVE experience under my belt I probably didn't have as many issues now, and switching to a piercing, forward shot Marisa-like is neat. As for why I'm using the reflective shot? Idk, it's funny to use.
-Pointblanking bosses. Did you know that you can do more damage pointblanking them? Yeah, I didn't know either, and it's not something I see often on videos. Apparently it's given on the manual but it wasn't as clear until I actually noticed the tip of your main shot (i.e not primary or secondary) is red at the very moment of spawning. I probably shaved a few seconds off a ton of attacks, which in consequence saved my life a lot. Less time dodging is more time on safety. Also, being closer to enemies when they die increase the size of the bubbles, which in turn result in more dreams/bombs to use. Scoring technique but used to defend myself.
-There's actually a practice mode now! I was much more confortable figuring out how to handle Nazuna's stars (they are nasty) and realizing that sometimes, the best strat is to pointblank.

I probably got better in a year too, but I wasn't that far away of clearing it even back then.

Anyways, I will be playing Like Dreamer someday so look forward to that.
