Hack description

This game itself is a masterpiece of art. The hack makes some changes to mechanics and adds new difficulty levels, that will make you to revise usual tactics and hopefully - gain some new gaming experience.
- Now you have to hold down the B-button to charge the "power" gauge, and throw the blade on release. This allows you to make more precise throws, instead of inefficiently throwing first blade with full strength. Also it gives the feeling that you're actually making the swing)
- HARD, EXTREME, and X difficulties are available from the main menu (4, 2 and 1-hitpoint modes respectively). Also a "CASUAL" difficulty was added for those, who want to try the game with new mechanics without too much suffering;
- To use a life-replenishing item the "Select" button must be held for 14 frames. On X difficulty these items are not useful for healing, but they give you 1 life for every 2 of them;
- The capacity of "energy gauge' is increased (it's worth 5-plus small batteries now) - the big accumulator cannot fill it now; small battery's energy charge also was changed proportionally;
- The robo-suits use additional energy for their energy shots;
- Using passwords is disabled (but the starting amount of lives is increased by 1);
- Secret "Sound Test" mode is now available from the main menu - for listening to great in-game music!
