January Retro Community Playthrough - Mischief Makers

SHAKE SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE... Heheheh.
I'll join in with you guys in the next couple days if possible. The main reason I haven't been playing along is that the controller will bother my wife and she's hard at work, so I've been trying to keep her in mind when playing things in the room.

I guess HA and YEAH might be the ones you hear more, but that's the one that sticks with you.

TRY TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

cool, i'll add you to the list then . that does make it more difficult when you have a shared gaming space though

finished world 2 and up to the boss of world 3. really enjoying the change of pace near the end of world 3, and that boss battle is awesome in so many ways. haven't beaten it yet but i should be able to next time i try, just taking a break for now. how's it going for everyone else?

Sorry, I keep meaning to come back to this game, but most of my gaming time lately has been going to Wind Waker.  Rest assured, I will beat this game by the end of the month!

made some progress on world 4 over the weekend, going to do a little more tonight and will try to remember to add in my times for the high score stuff

I made some time for this one last night.  Finished World 1 and played about half of World 2.  One thing I can say about this game is that it is very unique and almost every level so far has felt different from every level before it.

i know what you mean, the first few levels were pretty similar but after that it's been different almost every level, you never know what to expect. it's awesome so far!

As I mentioned, if you put the time into it, it's a surprising hidden gem.

i finished this up tonight, some difficult but overall fun bosses in the last world. useful thing to know about gold gems that is more of a tip than spoiler but just in case:

Spoiler (hover to show)

the end cutscene has a timer based on the number of gold gems you earned, as the cutscene plays the gems count down and when you hit 0 it stops the cutscene no matter what point it's at. so the more gold gems you earn the better your end cutscene will be

I finished this game over the weekend.  This is without a doubt one of the most unique and creative games I've played in a long time.  I had some frustrations with it due to some control issues and the sometimes less than obvious solutions to levels and boss fights, but overall I enjoyed it quite a bit.  I probably never would have played this game otherwise, so thanks for choosing it for the community playthrough

glad you had fun with it! i agree with everything you said about it, there were some minor issues here and there but overall it was great.

So I guess mark me down as a participant, since I got this game Saturday, and had beaten World 4 by Sunday night. I'll probably put some more time in to it tonight when I get home from work and hopefully beat it.

Also first post in probably more than a year, it's been a long time.

[techwizard]

Haha! Beat it! The first four worlds of the game did nothing to prepare me for the sheer...frustration of the multiple bosses of the last world.

Finished with 687 red gems, and 26 gold gems.

Glad to have played and be done with this game, it really is an interesting little gem.
And now I get to prepare myself for the month that is Kingdom Hearts and Parasite Eve!
