RACHEAL'S PROFILE

Once again, thank you for this. A couple comments:

If I have one regret, it's that I decided not to include a tutorial at the very beginning of the game. The decision was originally made because a tutorial seemed out of place, but it was clearly the wrong choice. This has already been fixed for the sequel, I won't make the same mistake twice.

The main castle theme is by jtbengal and it's actually a free-for-use song, not specifically made for us. And if you think the song gets old in the deluxe, back in the contest release it was the only song and played at all times XD But yeah, the game really could have used some more musical variety outside of the end of scenarios.

And most importantly... favourite character/route/ending? XD (if one comes to mind)

Thanks for the prompt review. I look forward to reading it once it's accepted :)

I'm sorry that your LT kinda ended on a bad note. Reva, the head servant, is actually the other person of trust who has the key. Sadly there was an error with Haily's hints when you give the chain to Aydin, otherwise she would have hinted at such. Also, something else I should have mentioned somewhere, but when you show items to the servants, they give hints as to what their use is. And I do agree there needs to be a walkthrough, and we actually have a rough draft done up, I just haven't made the time to finish it off.

For interest's sake, the other two endings that you didn't get were:

Thank you again for the LT. I quite enjoyed watching them. (One small thing though, for whatever reason, there's no sound in the second half of ep 5 part 3).

You can pick up shyguys and toss them at each other and there are vegetables all over the place to kill them.

That part I was actually aware of :) The level would be quite impossible if not. I was mostly just surprised they were immune to the fire, but I suppose there are no fire flowers in 2? It's been a long time since I've played that one. I did find the leaf in my travels (and enjoyed the extra freedom it gave me when exploring).

Also, I wanted an excuse to make the player create a ladder with blocks, you press down in the air to drop a block in front(again, should put in a hint for that).

It wasn't the ladder part I had issues getting out of. It was the area to the right. Mostly coming from the fact I keep forgetting about floating (/killed the cactus guy after he re-appeared)

I sometimes take for granted that I'm so familar with all this stuff.

One option would be to put an info box by the character box that gives a quick overview of the character and the levels. I seem to remember that when you selected a player in 2 you were given basic traits. (Or maybe that was in the manual? I just remember reading it long ago)

-a running duck jump can deal with the vine, but if thats too unknown of a move, moving it a up a square wont be an issue at all.

-the single donut block deal works sorta like steps, but I suppose I can fix that.

-From what I remember there's not really enough room to run on that platform, but I'll be the first to admit I'm no amazing Mario player.

-I was just using the donut blocks as a reference point, I wasn't making any real crit or anything, just stating how far I had made it. It was a jump after that that I missed anyways, not on the blocks themselves.
