..looked promissing, as i like platformers. But the controls are not smooth and in the upside down part it's really hard to get around...
Hi saint-j,
If you go a bit further...
There is a special ability that might help you get through the upside down parts.
It looks like there isn't any difference in the ending you get if you get all the shinies or not. A shame. I was hoping
that he would go with her with 100% completion.
%#! is right, little guy.
I was so annoyed by the star bit on the bridge:
If you fall before collecting it, there's no return.
A fun game. Up until you gain the "S" ability. Then it becomes an exercise in frustration and futility. I came to a room that seemed to depend on the perfect timing of jumping and swapping gravity and I ragequit. I also didn't like that if you "jumped" into the next room, you entered it on the ground. Similarly, every room starts you at 0 velocity, so each new room you went into, you had to "accelerate" to get back up to full speed again.
I'm sorry, but where was I supposed to intuit
the parkour-style wall-climbing mechanism (i.e. the "jump between the two sides of a vertical column to keep going up" method)
from?
Also, if you miss a star in certain places, you can't go back and get it. :/
There were just too many places where I was totally, utterly stuck, with absolutely nothing in-game that would give a hint about how to get unstuck.
The above-mentioned vertical climbing was one of them. The other was that block in the middle of nothing that you get stuck to. The walkthrough shows you going around the block like two or three times and it explodes; in reality, I had to go around about 100 times. No, I'm not kidding (or exaggerating). Tedious, boring, and infuriating.
Why do you lose all your momentum when you move from screen to screen? That's frustrating.
And early on (I suppose) a geyser keeps shooting me back up to my spouse-dot (?).
So, I'm circling the cosmic toilet bowl after accidentally (?) breaking up the big square. No key seems to do anything at this point. Help?
Oh, I see. The game was just unusually slow in giving me the
"S" power.
And dear god, now I am truly hosed.
this game is really nice! mostly atmospheric with a simple concept and great music. I have no problems with it. thank you for posting it JIG.
