Cutting Through Confusion Badge (easy - 5)
-Score 20,000 points
Light Life Badge (hard - 30)
-Complete all 50 levels without losing a life.

Collisions don't kill you.
00 08 06 07 01 00 00 00 1d -> 00 08 06 07 00 00 00 00 1d

End of current level is game end. If you haven't started the game yet then doing so ends off with a completion at level 0 with 0 score, which still counts for the hard.
67 12 9d 02 00 5c 00 96 04 -> 67 12 02 02 02 02 02 96 04

Playing through with collisions disabled will get you both easily, although if you don't want a high score you might want to watch your combo meter.

OP, I love you. Coincidence, too, as yesterday I was going for the hard and lost a life on level 50. -_-

this game is easily doable without any hacks but still great job on those aob.
