I got my combined A-side time under 1:20:00 and I'm real pleased with myself about that. I loving love this game and I've never even liked games like this before, really.

And you used the joycon's d-pad*? Having every direction have its own isolated button could be very useful in not flubbing an input. At first my DS4 felt great, but I found out its possible to hit a single direction in such a way the pad actually registers a diagonal input. It's my best controller but I'm not going for the no-death strubs if the controller can read "left" as "left and up". Which it can and does.  *assuming you're not using the analog. If you got the no death 1B run with analog you are officially a crazy person.

Zaggitz posted:The developer should obviously apologize for sticking a reference to his favorite childhood game in his game, Well, it's just not really a good puzzle. Nothing within the game itself would let you know how to get it. So if you aren't familiar with Mario 3 and that trick, tough luck. Got through 3B with over 300 deaths. Those blob things are the bane of my existence.

They should have made the "foreground" of that area a separate level that just leads to a bird that says "google mario bros 3 white block" or whatever.

I didn't know the specific mechanics of the trick but I recognized the block and understood the basic concept of the room by observing the background. Wasn't hard to discover what to do from there.

playing on switch; now that i'm replaying for all strawbs, the mirror dimension has been loving up my game a bit. whenever i get to Theo in his crystal, the game glitches out and crashes back to the menu. at least the switch doesn't softlock or anything but god drat that's been three times in a row now. FRUSTRATING!

There seems to be an occasionally recurring glitch (on the Switch version, at least) where the game crashes after the chapter clear screen. This happened to me for the first time after my first time clearing 2-B. I was this close to finally understanding what would drive a human to throw a heavy controller at an expensive television they bought, but fortunately it turns out that the crash happens after the game saves your data.

That's known and should be patched out when switch is allowed to catch up to the current pc version, along with the broken northern lights. What I'm saying is maybe buy indie games on pc because consoles put roadblocks in the way of patches SeXReX fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Feb 9, 2018 |

Well you see, in SMB3 it didn't actually let you climb on the background, it just dropped you to the ground, so obviously it is a broken puzzle????

I don't know how I feel about the Mario Block puzzle. I mean, it's a neat shoutout, and easter eggs of this kind absolutely are a great thing that it rules that new games today can do. What's less neat is that a puzzle that's entirely external to the game is on... well not the critical path, but if you're going for unlocking everything there will come a point where you have to get that heart before you can unlock the C-Sides. And there isn't anything in the game that hints at what to do for those who don't get the reference. Worse, doing the right thing seems for a long time to have no effect, and nothing else in the game involves crouching for that long, so it's unlikely it can be found by experimentation even when it's screamingly obvious that the answer is something to do with this big white block, so in gonna-say-99.9% of cases the chain of events is going to be; Giving up (in Celeste, a game that is on multiple levels about not giving up), asking the internet how to get that heart, being told the answer, immediately asking what's the deal with the answer, and going "oh huh I guess it's a reference to a game I've never played".

I think if the game had that kind of 'puzzle' all the time it'd be kind of lame, but imo once as an homage to a real important monument in platformers (smb3) isn't that bad.

It’s kind of amusing that a day after I gave up on that room, the thread is discussing it. I knew it was out of place, but apparently didn’t crouch down long enough. I even recognized it being a SMB3 reference, but I was so hyper focused on the bird sounds that it creates by running left / right on it, and trying to find a pattern related to the sound like the other room in World 3A.

I think if I were designing it, I'd make a tough but solvable puzzle to get the heart, and then have the smb3 block which gives you a p-block for the screen, letting you mostly skip it. It rewards the cool reference while being a showstopper for continuing in the game. I've slowed down a lot, I'm on 4-b now. Gotta push through but these B-sides take a lot out of me and the xbox 360 d-pad is leaving a lot to be desired.

This may or may not have something to do with the fact that I have almost 7000 deaths logged.

Yeah I've been using the analog stick mostly but 4-b is stretching it - occasionally going up instead of up-right has turned into frequently going up instead of up-right. I too have thousands of deaths including 1300 on my first pass of world 7. (I don't play for low deaths and always went for every strawberry but still, that's too many.)

For the blue heart in world 6, I'm pretty sure that it is up the elevator shaft near the old lady, but to get to it, I will need the double jump. Which means that I somehow have to get back to the elevator shaft after getting the double-jump powerup. I've tried finding hidden walls in the section of the level where you have double jump, but nothing. My only thought now is that I have to climb out of the final section without using my shadow, since that triggers the end of the chapter, but I've spent quite a bit of time attempting this, without much success. Someone please just reply "yes" or "no" about whether I should continue what I'm doing. I don't want any other hints or spoilers - just tell me if I'm wasting my time with my current plan.

I just wish there was an alternate method or a hint as to what to do if you don't know the reference. I spent SO LONG dashing behind the white block. I also explored the rest of the level to see if maybe there was a different thing I missed.

Honestly I'm pretty okay with the blue heart puzzles not being great because they're not really the point of the game. Could they have been better? Sure, but when they come alongside such a sublime platformer I'm not really in the mood to complain.
