Trials are challenges that can be purchased in Kleines' shop after the player has fulfilled certain conditions. Once purchased, they can be accessed via the Mirror. Beating a trial awards the player with a wallpaper that can be applied to the outer border of the game window.
In each trial, the player navigates a linear series of rooms, encountering various mini-bosses and bosses between them. Each concludes with a final boss, foreshadowed by the icon representing the trial. In addition to combat, players may encounter NPCs, Pickups, puzzles, and other challenges.
Trials may be played with any ship. As Skully, all damage-up pickups are replaced with similar modules, and Arena Blaster always starts with the Pulse Reflector item.
The Trials tab located in the Mirror. This player has completed Trials I and II, unlocked and purchased Trial IV, but has not unlocked Trial III.
