Be a noob and cheat: At the menu press 'Insert' Key and type imanoob and then press ctrlW this gives you approximately enough money to buy the most expensive upgrades

well, despite the hitbox being just a dot, i suppose it wouldn't be an impossible badge if the game had a level select, would it? (bugger) oh, well. lol.

Got to the 9th boss made a mistake and got hit. I decided to see if i could have finished it off w/o getting hit after that and sure enough i did. If only i didn't make that mistake

Oh yeah boi,oh yeah,finally i got it,finally i got that D A M N and pesky imp badge!It took over 5 hours to get it|Hints:Buy money doubling card when you can,then buy adrenaline boosters(because they help a lot)then,buy gambler,because it can help you and after that try to finish the game with:level 5 reload and damage cards,adrenaline booster,and rocket wingman(because it deals more damage that laser wingman).And if you see that a boss is too hard,use the milenar pause/unpause tactic,it helped me a lot,you will need to use it starting from level 5.GG guys,and gl with that damn imp

Death = start over from the beginning, no power-ups retained? 1/5 - I, too, look back on the NES days with nothing but cringe.

This game is awesome but will you guys stop being elitest tools and down voting people who say the medium badge is harder than many hard badges?
Valthirian Arc has a hard badge that is AMAZINGLY easy to get. Just don't completely suck.
Starwish gives a hard badge just for beating the game, and if you think Starwish is as hard as this game, your an idiot (even on hard!).
Talesworth Arena gives a hard badge just for beating the game.
Epic Battle Fantasy 3 gives a hard badge, which to the best of my knowledge you can get on normal and if you play it on normal is a DAM side easier than this game.
Demon Took My Daughter has a hard badge that is much easier to get than this game
Etc. So stop abusing downvote, its a reasonable comment and ganging up on people with the downvote function will not make it less true

Tips for bosses:
Use your special on the boss when you are on the most risky part: it helps your concentration carry over by not dodging.
1st and 2nd boss should be easy, but it can get you off guard if you are unfocused.
You need to actively move for the 3rd boss, as the sides are safe but you can't hit the boss while you are there.
4th boss is troublesome, but not that much compared to the 5th.
6th boss has a safe spot, just be slightly off to left or right on the bottom of the screen.
7th boss also has a safe spot, near the bottom left or bottom right of the screen. this one might be hard to find the right spot, through either way this one shouldn't be too hard.
You need to be careful on 8th and 9th boss, as their attacks don't have a easy safe spot to get in and require somewhat tight maneuvering to dodge.
Last boss is just slightly easier than the previous two: stay focused and you should be fine.
This combined with the best comment's tips should get you the impossible badge. GL!

More Tips for the impossible badge:
ALL of the bullets in game travel only in a straight line centered on enemies: they never curve, and a most of enemies fire them either once or in rapid succession on the lines of /|\, Λ, and |. Its the varying velocity of the bullets and movement of the enemies that makes it complicated.
Don't go get all the coins, especially on later stages: its way safer to stay still rather than to collect all the coins when there is enemies around.
The Rocket Wingmen is useful since it can shoot enemies coming from behind, can speedkill enemies before they shoot bullets, and lessens your need to move.
Staying in the center of the stage is mostly safe since a fraction of enemies appear from the central top of the screen, through you might have to move if they are shooting straight down or there's large ships coming from off-center.
