Wow I love that I boot up Chapter 8 feeling good that I beat the game, and then am instantly reduced to an idiot cause I can't figure out what the heck to do.

I love it

I did it all (minus the Golden Strawberries there's no way I can do all of them. I've only done 1A and 2A deathless). Good lord those were some tough levels.

And I did the whole game on Joycon split button d-pad. Eat it actual d-pad-havers!

I like this game. Some real good platforming in there. It's really well done on the Switch, too - perfect for playing on the train. I can hear excellent tunes and bash my head against B side levels on the go, it's great.

Not a fan of the pixelated look, tho. It's great for the platforming sections when it's relatively zoomed out (so, 99.99% of the game), but it's kinda hurting my eyes during cutscenes...

I like the look but the loading "running madeline" animation makes me wish the entire game looked like that.

Yes, I know I am Bad at Video Games. I mean, I'm at something over 850 deaths, and I just made it to 4.

Still, I'm kind of proud of this.

Got through the rest of 3 with only a dozen more deaths or so.

Stage 4's Blue heart. :allears: I wasn't sure if it really was what I was thinking of, and sure enough, it was.

Something I noticed was that collecting multiple strawberries at once gives you more points. Does that actually do anything?

I reached a point on one A where I'm not sure how to possibly proceed without dashing. It's the screen that's a checkpoint there's a wall with a long row of spikes I can't get over with a crystal in a gap past it.

I can jump a little farther by wall jumping directly up right before jumping but it isn't enough

most likely you'll have to abuse the slightly faulty hit detection on spikes. the exact corners of blocks covered in spikes can be walljumped off of if your timing is perfect.

I feel everyone has different things they're good at. I just finished 2B and thought it wasn't as dificult as 1B. Up next for me: 3B!

Yeah I just finished 7b and had 800 something. Platform 2 and 3 were murder. Felt really smart when I figured out 3, but then I had to do the same truck so many times in a row on 2 I must have lost hundreds of lives on that one screen

the last room of 2B, despite giving me zero deaths, is by far my most hated room in the game.

Yeah jesus, I think I cracked 1000 on 7B. I do tend to just go for brute forcing/jumping right into it again as fast as I can instead of thinking about what I'm supposed to be doing. Plus, it took me embarrassingly long to figure out the super wall jump dash thing at the beginning.

Finally finished all the C-sides today. I think 7C definitely takes the prize for hardest room but drat if you don't feel good when you finish.

I also learned, in 8C, that you can grab the yellow heart and STILL FALL TO YOUR DEATH, which promptly put me back at the start of the room, no credit for the heart. Luckily I did it again a few attempts later... thank god.

You don't have to walljump, you can get enough vertical speed to reach the top just by climbing. I was pissed when I found that out.

Reach for the moon!


I know exactly where it was too, and how to get to it. It's right near the very end before the special sequence, there's a door that locks behind you after you enter so you can't go back. I didn't see the tunnel I had to dash up into until it appeared on the side two screens later.

There is no worse pain than this :negative:

What a phenomenal game.



The final tally for my initial playthrough. I ended up with only one blue heart, no red hearts. Found 3 of the B-side tapes. Time to go back and find everything else!

edit: And man, the 20 bucks I paid for this makes me feel like I got away with a goddamn robbery. It's worth at least that.

What a fantastic game. Doing all the optional stuff now, and 1-B is kicking my butt. It's a blast though. Looking forward to the rest of the B-sides.

I had 1300 deaths on 3B. Is it just me or is that one inordinately hard?


Also, I'm way better at this game while drinking since I zone the gently caress in and don't tense up as much.

What is a C-Side? I haven't beat the level 6 yet, so if it's an end of the game thing then ignore me.

Fun game. There's a long vertical room in 1-B with several moving blocks and tiny disappearing platforms that I have 50 deaths in alone so far.

3 is the resort, right? I felt it was okay. For me the one after that was a bitch and a half. I'm not good at things that change how your character controls. It feels like I'm fighting my controller(ds4) more than the game. I think it cost me over 450 deaths to clear. Also playing at 1 AM might not be the best idea.

Genuinely Looking forward to 5B, about to head in!

E: oof. That wasn't easy. But it was a cool style of dificulty. Tougher than 4B, but had less deaths... if that makes sense.

When you beat all the regular levels, and then all the B-sides you unlock C-sides for every level that are even harder. The one mercy is that at least they are short.

Was the strawberry for dashless 1-A actually a thing? I don't see how to get past like the second room with the spring without a dash, it doesn't give you enough height for the spike floor you have to cross without dashing.

It's really a thing and requires a pixel-perfect jump off the left edge of the spiked platform

I wonder if you can get it immediately from the beginning, or if you need to unlock the ability to gain them first.

Because I could try right now but only if there actually is a strawberry at the end because seriously.

Yeah, I didn't actually pull it off, but did verify it in an assist mode file. It was the first strawberry gotten on that file.

WELP. Looks like I'm doing this. :v:

edit: the second room was alright once you know how to get yourself that little extra height. I currently trying to figure out this room from the OP:



Actually now that I am looking at that gif, the current version in game is different. There's an extra ledge in the top left corner. Could be a coincidence, but it would allow you to get higher.
