Is this game getting harder or what?

Stage 12

At this point, the game's difficulty ramps up, especially if you don't know what to do.

There are a lot of paths that you can take. If you know where to go, you can find a bit of health and other power-ups.

At this point, it really helps to take as little damage as possible both here and in the stages ahead.

There is one point in the level with a hole in the ground, and if you fall into said hole, the game says "Trap!" and you'll fall in.

The boss here is the V9. Hit this thing in the head to deal damage. Stay out of the corners, and jump over it and the missiles to avoid getting hit.

You'll be able to trade red icons for food after this.

Stage 13

The purple guys leaps forward in an attempt to get close to you.

The lantern platforms light up as you approach them.

The boss here is a kabuki dancer. He turns into a shuriken and bounces around the room. Hit him as he bounces around at 45-degree angles, and anticipate where he moves. When he stops, he will reverse direction. If he falls to the ground, get in close and punch multiple times.

You'll be able to trade red icons for food after this.

Stage 14

It's time for yet another underwater stage. Again, keep shooting to take care of enemies, such as the snapping turtles that take multiple hits and the rainbow snakes that come out from the bottom of the screen.

The mollusk with legs gives you a rice cake if you destroy it. Also, keep an eye out for the ramen bowls, as the health they ive is useful.

The boss is an evil twin of the submarine form. Stay all the way to the left, keep shooting missiles, avoid the boss' attacks and get shots in every chance you can. 

After beating that boss, you'll get a red version of the King of Atlantis with two monster heads. Just like before, aim for the heads. This time, you also have a three-fireball shot to avoid that takes up a bit of space. Use bombs if you're at the top of the screen to do a little extra damage. Once you shoot down the heads, shoot the guy on the boss' back and enjoy your bowl of ramen.
