KAZESUI'S PROFILE

Seems my update came a day too late. Several of the issues you've raised have been fixed, like the wall you hit too early, it's something that got broken while I was working on level 3 so it took some time to notice it. This makes it possible to kill the turret you mentioned, but shouldn't be attempted without some weapon upgrades. The basic idea of that one (and few other instances) was "to live and let live".

The score also gives you an extra life for each 5000 points now, and you're provided with a savefile which let's you enter stage 1 directly through the level select.

Also, yes if you complete a stage with just 1 life, you will be given another one at the beginning of the next stage... which means you'll have 2 lives... which might only be marginally better. (Apparently there was a poor schmock who finished the first level with only one life).

The main gripe about it being rather difficult is still very much intact though, just hopefully a bit less of a chore.

I find you raise a pretty interesting point about the life system possibly being obsolete. Didn't cross my mind as they are or were pretty typical in these kind of games. One of the only things it does at the moment is to make sure that you won't run out of useable power ups too soon.

Thanks for the review, and the time you spent trying to beat it, eventhough my strong tendency of making stuff too hard

Not everyone is hardcore good at pc Gaming, especially on a laggy, critically accurate button input RPG Maker. I liked the level up to and a little past the giant dinosaur chase, after that it felt like I was being punished. I think as a level and for estetics it would have been best to end the level more or less after some platforming after the dinosaur. The memorization puzzle is forgivable minus the platforming required for it, but the mandatory item collection? Totally NOT. That should have affected the score from the level maybe. It was torture getting all the stuff, I had to eventually give up and alter the variable numbers.

That's just it though. I don't see the need to be hardcore good at pc gaming to beat it. there weren't many jumps which required critical precision, and most who were, were optional since they were mostly just for getting the additional gold / necklaces. I figured normal traversing would almost lead to having aquired the 30 gold neccessary.

Then again, I won't say it's not hard, cuz I'm not quite in a position to judge it well enough, I'm just saying that "I " don't see how it could have been that difficult.
though I recognize that the path between the memorizing crystals could have been made shorter after the first visit or so

You people make it sound like none of you have gotten the silencer for the gun, which makes it considerably easier to "stealth kill" guards. Only problem is that you get it too late, and that you can even avoid finding if you don't explore thoroughly enough.
