Has there ever been a game so hard you just gave up? For me it was Comix Zone but I've not tried in awhile

Well then you're in luck since Marisa B's bomb is the most powerful. She also has pretty powerful normal attack.
Yeah you get bombs, some enemies drop them on death on later stages. Most importantly, you get extra lives, and that's another 2 bombs to use. Just make sure you don't die with anything in stock, if you do you lose all those bombs.
Think of them as your safety nets, you use if you think you're gonna get hit and can't dodge anywhere. There may be some bullet traps like this. They also deal a lot of damage to bosses so a good tactic for tough cards is to dodge the initial volley, use, and sit below boss, to maximize damage. On Marisa B especially they die before the next wave reaches you. Also you can get right in the bosses' face to "shotgun" your bullets initially or after a bomb.
Another thing, you can autocollect everything on screen if you go to the top of the screen with full power, that's where most of your points and extra lives come from. Just be careful not to run into a bullet or a fairy's hug.

there are occasional bomb item drops, but you get more bombs by getting more lives (which is easy since you rack up score by going to the auto collect line often)

these edits are so goddamn funny, I love them

killer is dead
it wasn't hard. the button mashing segment at the end was just too much. I tried 50 times and couldn't butt mash enough to defeat the "qte"

I just got a new highscore on my warm up run so I'm feeling good. I'll try practice bombs.
I didn't know you got bombs with the extra lives. Must not be paying enough attention. I never knew about this auto collect thing either. So that's cool to learn.

Comix Zone too at the time but I retried a few years ago and this time I beat it
Also pretty much every Touhou game

I got Lagoon for the SNES when I was like 6 years old, and got all the way to Thor's final stage boss fight. I didn't beat it until I was 17.
