At 33:42, skip to 45:02 if you don't want to see poorly executed milking
A one credit clear of Zangeki Warp on Ultra, the hardest difficulty. A difficulty above Insane is surprising to see in an Astro Port game, but it doesn't feel that much different than the Insane difficulty.
Scoring is pretty basic; similar to Wolflame and Satazius, collect the point items and clear the stage without dying. There's also a bonus for killing the boss in a timely manner, but I've never actually missed this bonus or even tried to see what happens if you time a boss out. You'll also be awarded a rank at the end of the stage. I think this rank is a combination of point items, not dying, and killing the boss fast enough. For some odd reason, the game says I got an S rank on stage 2 at the end of the game but I got an A on the stage result screen.
There's no end-of-game bonus, so instead you'll have to cash in your extra lives by milking the end section of stage 6. I make a half-hearted attempt to do this but eventually gave up (my finger slipped off the warp button accidentally due to sweat, ew). Each milking attempt is 500k a pop, so you can easily reach more than 15m total points if done right. If you don't want to milk, you can still break 10m on a 1 life clear.
If you care about my powerup route, it is:
Stage 1: Warp Recovery, Warp Recovery, Shockwave
2: Shot Power, Slash Power, Shockwave
3: Shot Power, Shockwave, Shockwave
4: Warp Recovery, Slash Power, Slash Power
5: Slash Power, Shockwave, Shield Recovery
6: Warp Recovery, Shield Recovery, Shield Recovery
7: Shot Power, Shot Power, Shield Recovery
