I friend told me he would give me 10 bucks if I beat hyper mode in my first try. He let me do normal mode once for practice. (Remember, He let me only do it once.) Then, I saw the "Bring me to the end" gun. Thinking it would be a shortcut to the end, I picked it and the close range high damage gun... I died at the second boss.
Also, awesome game! I love bullet hells.
