1 credit? I love this game to death but man. Considering using the mutant power eats a ball AND a significant amount of health, Ill be surprised if someone gets past the blob.

This is just how we separate the boys from the men.  ;)
I've played around and I understand the game and the mutant power more.  1: You have to have a power ball OR drain 3 health bars in order to use it.  2: It drains three health bars ONLY if you have 4 or more health bars.  Meaning using the power will never kill you.  If you have a powerball and 4+ health, it'll take the health instead of the ball.  3:  You get full life and another power ball after you defeat a boss.

Knowing all that, here's some tips I've worked up.
Know the level - Play it enough so you know when to expect robots to pop on screen and fire rocket arms so you can ambush them instead.  Understand enemy patterns to know how to zone them and keep them off your back as you're attacking others.
Save your mutant powers for low health - Since it doesn't take off any health if you have 3 or less bars, try not to use them until then.  This requires practicing how to handle those tougher encounters at some parts of the stages so you don't have to rely on them.

I will get past the Blob, it'll happen.  During my lunch break I was able to get up to 90 before losing my first life, then I tanked hard after that cause I didn't know what lay ahead.  A bit more practice this evening and I'll hopefully break the Blob barrier tonight or tomorrow.

Am I correct in assuming that only 1 player games will be accepted? I usually only play this game with a group of friends.
