You have to get to the top faster. Then you'll have time to take out
the ships plus destroy the core. FASTER TO THE TOP, remember.

You should have tagged this with a spoiler label.
Anyway, you have to get to the top quicker, destroy the ships, then move to
the SIDE, where you get a line of sight to fire on the rotating metal
peices, you have to keep firing till they are all dislodged.

Stay to the right and blast the two gunships. Then, go all the way to
the left and keep firing energy balls at the core. Knock off all the
rotating panels, then keep firing at the core. Game over!

Odd - I thought the end was a almost too easy compared to Nihlanth.
You have to get to the top faster.
Others seem to have taken out the ships first - I took out the core panels
first - somehow the ships weren't too much trouble and I thought that that
would do it - I still had to finish the ships to win though so I suspect I
did it "wrong".

That's the key, I guess. I messed around too much before getting to the top
level. I'll have to do it over again.

Nothing changes at the hardest level. Ignore the ships.
