At the lowest part of this level (which really functions as the top), there is a Purple Carrier Dark Thing. It spits slimes onto the conveyer belt the Angel is on, and the Angel must climb crubling blocks to shoot the purple carrier. There is, however, an easier way. The Angel must shoot the Green Slimes until one drops a wing power-up. then all it needs to do is fly up. Also, this level is great for getting on the Game High Scores because the Angel can shoot alot of slimes without shooting the creator, and the coins come right to it.

Trivia

 * The key for shooting arrows used to be ctrl for player 2, but was changed due to the problems caused by key combinations.
 * Judging by the players' appearances, and the fact that it was released around Valentine's Day, the players and the plot are likely based on Cupid and Roman Mythology itself.
 * Twin Shot is similar to Nitrome Must Die because Twin Shot supports Multiplayer, and each level's objective is to kill all enemies. Also, the other objective is to have more score.
