That's wonderful! Been crossing my fingers somebody would pick this up. Good luck, I'm rooting for you.

Set is now live.

How do the no-hit bosses work? As far as I remember there's no lifebar or hitpoints in this game?

You can get hit and witness the damage animation. This counts as a hit. Hence why it's not included for every boss. Will reset if you leave the boss fight e.g. by being thrown on the upper platform. I was planning on doing complete no hits including being thrown up, but you can simply avoid that by save+reset as it puts you in front of the boss door.

Wait a minute. I beat Syrup in World 5 damageless and when the achievement didn't unlock, I noticed that the achievement list in RetroArch says that the no-damage achievements are unsupported. Can I just not unlock those in RA?

You need to update RetroArch to the latest version.

Ah, right, I really should have thought of that. That's what happens when I comment while I'm sleepy.

The achievement guide is live on Github, for anyone struggling with some achievements:

The mastery icon was outvoted and replaced; heres a backup of the old one

Nepiki's link doesn't work, it redirects to the guides index due to the ) not being inside the url tags.

This should work.
