To everyone having trouble with FU with regards to points and upgrades and getting past level 1, don't forget to save, and upgrade your favorite weapon. I personally use the double-blades. (Don't like typing out the entire actual name of them.)
Also upgrade the Helldrive features. It takes a few repetitions of level 6 on mortal ( Don't kill the boss at the left side, get his health bar all the way to the end until you barely see yellow, if you want to be safe, and then roll away from him and ONLY hit him when his blade is glowing red. Any time I hit him and the blade is not glowing red, it glitches. Usually only takes me 2 hits after I siphon his health down by my Happy Special Fun Time Floating by Mashing D Trick from the beginning of the level. )
With the dual-blades upgraded to level 16, it takes me around 52 seconds to 1 minute 12 to get 1500 Blood Points from mission 6 on Mortal. Only about 50-100 extra points on Slayer and it takes 30 extra seconds on average, so it's not worth Slayer in my opinion.
If you haven't gotten to mission six, or the middle missions, remember to save after level one (in the pause menu at level 2,) die at 2, SAVE again after that, and reload.
I find keeping a second tab of FU open (I use firefox) makes me feel more secure while I play. I know it really doesn't do anything, but hey. I'm OCD. I can always click Play in the second window after I do the series of saves in the first tab to make sure my blood points have saved. If not, then I just beat level 2, save, go to 3, save, die, save, and check again in window 2.
Just missing M5 A+, those dang.. double-bladed.. hooded... things. Why can't I hit you? Why must you hate me so?
I promise it won't hurt long. Gimme my damn style points and stop blocking. :(
