Replicator
An orange machine that copies itself and its shots, with walls, clones and mirrored lanes. It is the seventh of the nine bosses.
Copy. Paste. Conquer.
The fight
Replicator is all about copying. It builds walls, multiplies its own shots and spawns more of itself, so the screen fills with variations on the same pattern.
Attacks
- a wall of blocks together with a double shot;
- a replication fan, where shots split into more;
- cloning;
- spawned bots that you have to shoot to get at the boss;
- mirror lanes;
- shots that replicate themselves as they travel.
Tips
Look for the repeating structure: most Replicator attacks are the same pattern copied, so the gap you find in one copy is usually in the next. Deal with the bots when they appear rather than leaving them to pile up.
