A short and simple shmup. 100% just requires getting all ICE CREAM letters in the first 5 stages and beating the last stage with all characters and all difficulties, plus a grind for 8000 gems.

Start as Ace, the first character, on Medium difficulty and try to do the game while getting all ICE CREAM letters and without getting a game over. You should get 30000 points that way. The rest of the game will be spent on the final stage, as it has the most gem output, and is required to beat multiple times to earn the other trophies.

Once you get the difficulty and character trophies done, you'll spend the rest of it grinding the final stage for gems. Again, use Ace on Easy as his special is really strong and can shred boss HP bars like nothing. The rest is mostly up to your ability to collect gems from enemies.

Using the featured method for the gem grind, you'll be getting around 250-350 gems per run of the final stage, which is about 3-4 minutes. You'll be able to wrap up the grind in about 2 hours at worst.
