1NF3S7AT10N

1NF3S7AT10N (or Infestation translated) is the thirtieth level in Jetshift, where players face off against GL17CH (Glitch). The battle is reflex-based due to many incoming attacks at once.

Phase 1
GL17CH will either... Or... Or...
 * Fire three or four stars that spiral outwards towards the player. It is easy to predict where the stars will go.
 * Do a corruption attack which makes him invulnerable to most of the players attacks. Does not hurt the player. He has a 1-in-3 chance of doing it again and does not change if he does. It is possible for him to do this seven or more times in a row.
 * Fire three stars and then glitch out. This makes it almost difficult to track the stars down as GL17CH's glitch and the stars are almost the same colour.

Phase 2 (already set in Nightmare Mode during Phase 1)
GL17CH will not glitch around anymore. He will start firing between one and four bigger orange stars that are slower and can blend in with his other attacks, so the player must find a way to dodge it quickly before the other star attack crosses over with it and causes more trouble.

Normal

 * Has two phases.
 * Attacks have longer intervals.
 * Phase 2 is triggered at half-health.
 * Attacks don't build up.

Nightmare

 * Phase 2 is triggered immediately, but that doesn't mean he cannot glitch anymore.
 * All attacks can be used.
 * Attack can build up, making the fight very mobile.
 * 'Chains' can occur - one attack right after another, a chain of attacks happening after glitching, or multiple stars can build up at once, flooding the screen.

Tips

 * There is no feasible way to 'hide' from the projectiles, so having a lot of mobility is the key to dodging the attacks.
 * If a player manages to build up a lot of DPS (damage per second) while GL17CH is glitching, the anticheat may be triggered and the level will terminate.
 * Using the Life Drain is very effective against GL17CH as it can take a lot of life away from him.
 * The Corruption attack is not invulnerable to the Ninja Star. It is possible to build up the Reflex meter during this time.

Anticheat Mechanism
While Lawrence was testing the boss fight, he found hiding in the bottom-left corner to be the best way to avoid the attacks, as nothing can reach down there. However, if players did this, they would not be able to attack the boss. So the Cheater Laser was implemented to fix this unintentional behaviour, effectively killing all hiding players instantly.
