I recommend you also try out Kupo707's other games. The EBF series has a lot of variety, from action to rpg to bullet hell; all of the games offer a lot of depth and challenge for you thinkers, and action and pretty pictures for the rest of you. As I said elsewhere, it's the best flash series out right now that I know of. Here's the maker's page:

As for the music, here are the songs I used:
Intro: Prevalent
Boss 1: Following Your Star
Boss 2: Binary Emissions
Boss 3: Heroes March (extended cut)
Boss 4: A Light in the Darkness of Destruction; (followed by) DiVINe MaDNEss
Credits: Chibi Epicness
All songs are by HalcyonicFalconX, whose musical talent keeps us coming back even when we are frustrated beyond belief or think we have finished the game, only to return and replay that one level because the music is just too good.
The compilation in this video represents just a portion of the various styles of her music, and all the rest of her songs are equally good. You can find her page and music here:

Oh, and thanks to UnlimitedDrillWorks for the idea to hit bullets while fighting Lance.
Notes:
I'm not annotating as much this video because a lot of the strategies are repeated from my other videos. It's also a video more for fun than a walkthrough. I really wanted to get this up because I had this special musical composition all planned out, which I thought would be really cool.
Anyways, this has been my way of beating boss rush on epic. One thing I've come to realize is that there are likely a lot of build types that would work, depending on your play style. I think my way is a relatively easy way to do it. The hardest part is dealing with those jumping lava bricks against Lance. The method shown in this video takes a bit of practice. If you don't like it, I would recommend the following: Knock the 1st stone down as he jumps up, then jump over Lance as soon as possible. Immediately shatter the other stone, then use ice on the pieces as they break apart. It would help to know about how many hits you need to break the stone apart so you can time the ice, otherwise you will have to find a way to group them back together within the radius of ice. In fact, thinking about it now, if you are ever in trouble during that fight, using ice on a creature could be a good way to regenerate mana.
Also, Taleladar does epic boss rush using viking equipment. Two things he does there that are good ideas are: Bouncing on the third boss when he is in the middle of the map. This gets you two extra hits before he moves again. Also, on the final boss, rather than jumping in the middle of map to bounce back cannon balls, it is far more reliable to stand in front of Lance and jump there to strike them back. This would have probably cut my fight time against him down by a couple of minutes, which reduces the chance of you getting unlucky and dying.
Incidentally, this is the same equipment I used for Foe Rush. I have two vids of Foe Rush on epic, since it took me 29 minutes to beat, but it's really boring because I progress through the last three levels slower than evolution(~12-13 mins to do). I'll not bother posting it unless I get requests.
Last and most, thanks to you, the viewer, for the support! I hope any of my vids were able to help. Unless Foe Rush goes up, this will be my last video. Happy hunting!

Yeah, you get more attack and magic. Depends on your equip but a few levels make a noticeable difference. That's why I try to do all of my walkthroughs at the lowest possible level. It also makes it difficult because if you mess up you still gain exp, so you can only make a few tries for these videos. Here, I am probably about 2 levels higher than the lowest possible. I am lvl 33.

I might record a video of me doing the boss rush, but I'd have to start a new game since I'm at level 42 and have gotten 1 extra MP from a bug...

Shouldn't take more than 3-4 hours to go start to finish.
