Insidia

Can I say: "meh"?

As this game is now, it looks like the real core of the action is looking for switches (secondary goal) instead of repair parts (primary goal).

And metroidvaning away without the exhilaration of powering up one's weapons doesn't really feel proper...

I'm loving the metroidvania-onslaught, even if that means some unjust comparison.

I quite liked it. Just an easy little morsel of metroidvania. Would have given it five, erm, mushrooms, but I took one away for using Curlz inappropriately.

great time waster :)

Don't press all the switches:

Game could with some improvements. 3 mushes.

Very simple. Not so much COOL places and creative design :-(

Clever - "insidia" means "ambush" or "trap" in Latin.

I liked this one a lot.

The graphics were really cool although I wish the character matched the feel of the level a bit more.

It was fairly easy to get through even with the switches. Could have used a few more skill areas as most screens patience was your best weapon.

No unnecessary backtracking in this one, which is my pet peeve with most mvs. Teleport to ship helped with that.

Overall this is one of the better games of this style I have played in awhile, I'll second the four mushrooms rating.

I just started playing this... this is basically Nifflas's Knytt with the graphics from his Knytt Stories. If you like this, go play those. Windows or Mac/Linux with Wine.

I, for one, welcome our Knytt/Meat Boy/Metroidvania overlords.

Could do without the grammar mistakes, and the use of that Curlz typeface is a bit odd, but otherwise a solid little game.

Played it through. I thought it used far too many different fonts - curlz mt, visitor, and some sans serif. I would just pick visitor and stick with it.

Overall, I liked it - generally simple and enjoyable.

I kind-of liked it... the athstetics were good, but the polish on the platforming could be better. There was a bit of that "Now I KNEW that I pressed jump that time!", but it wasn't too bad.

The

but I guess not.

Hey, anyone have the full map for this? I thought I'd explored every inch of this place (twice), but I seem to be missing a repair kit and I'm wondering if it's because I missed a hidden area, or I somehow just forgot to collect one.

9/10, so close. >.<

Decent little platformer. Nothing revolutionary, but fun enough to hold my attention through the end.

But what's wrong, Comic Sans wasn't available? :P

Any one know what happens in both endings? I only got the

end. Also, I have noted that, albeit appropriately, the background music syncs up nicely to Nine Inch Nails' "The Hand That Feeds".

Insidia Map

the first powerup doesn't seem to work.

The two endings:

If you don't trip the hidden switches:

Did I get a different ending from everyone else? I got one where

I thought it was a great little game, just hard enough to be challenging, but not bad enough to make me have to buy a replacement keyboard because I set mine on fire out of frustration. Not sure why people are complaining it's similar to Knytt either, they are similar, but if you like Knytt... Harumph.

The only thing I think that could have made it better would have been animation at the end instead of a slideshow, but I'm talking about final buffing here. Nice job!

I have to admit, the background elements of this game were just plain creepy.

It all does a fantastic job of inspiring you to get the everloving heckoff that rock, though.

Just saying,

Simple and easy game.

But rather relaxing rather than getting bored. I enjoyed it.

A nice, relaxing, little game. I approve. :)

gentle and nice.

Happy new year

Huzzah! I got both endings.
Did the worm things in that tunnel scare anyone else? because I just thought it was a random tunnel so I ran for it and then 3 sudden giant worms and I was like ARGHH.
I liked the angel in chains though.. that was creepy.
I enjoyed this game, as it is fun and one of the few games I have completed. I like how the little guy doesn't have any arms, too.

I really liked the game, I thought normal ending was kind of lame so I had to find the last hidden switch( thanks for the map). The creators could have thought of something a little more original than missiles, I mean like they totally didn't fit in with the rest of the game.

actually you need to get all repair kits then activate missile defence (switches) then repair ship so when monster thing goes to eat you the missiles will kill it instead of you

The background-background music (the little sounds behind the tune) reminded me VERY strongly of League of Evil, another Woblyware game that I HIGHLY recommend.

I tripped all the switches. Might replay it to get the "normal" ending.

Did anyone else notice the background lighting got darker as you went down? Added to the whole "creepy..." factor. Brrr.

Once i finished pieces
"the one with ship collecting stuff"
i swore to myself i would never complete another collecting game but this made an exception :3

An averagely fun game. The atmosphere is nice, apart from when you need to use the mouse to close the big obtrusive sponsor banner. A few of the rooms were nicely creepy. It feels rather Metroidvania-by-numbers, though. How many crashed spaceships have we seen? There are a rather small amount of powerups compared to what you might hope. I really don't like it when switch-screen games provide a map but then have some spaces on that map not used. It makes me feel like I've missed a secret door somewhere, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case here.

For those wanting to see both endings without playing through twice, I recommend doing this: get 10/10 repair kits, get 9/10 switches, repair the ship. After the ending, back at the title screen, hit "Continue", go get the last switch, repair the ship.
