Made it to the summit. Somewhere around 1,600 deaths -- 650+ on the last level alone. Didn't pick up very many strawberries as I was more gripped with the plot than the platforming by about halfway through.

Seriously, even without the B-Sides I think that's the hardest drat game I've beaten since... I dunno maybe Contra. I'll probably give the harder stuff a miss and watch them on Youtube.

What I'd really like at the end is a replay of all your quickest runs through each room stitched together in one super-badass replay.

My team got swept out of the playoffs, and all I got was this avatar and red text

It'd be cool if the dev had a heatmap of deaths for the entire game so you could see which rooms were the absolute worst for the playtesters

I beat 7C yesterday.. that final screen killed me like 400 times. Felt amazing to finish though! I think a patch must have made that screen harder at some point recently. I've seen a lot of videos where at the halfway point of the final screen people were able to just double-dash over the section where it wants you to do a super-walljump on a tiny block. For me there was a big wall of spikes blocking that route off.

All that's left now is 3C and 8C... wonder if I can really pull it off.

I didn't do any wall jumps in the 7C end (on switch) so I'm not sure if it's the same. At least you can rest easy knowing 8C isn't nearly as hard.

Just to demonstrate what I mean, here's one of the vids I'm talking about (18-20s in):

And here's what I had instead: (15s in)

That part wasn't so bad though, the real killer was that spiky hell right at the end, I don't think that has changed.

No kidding. I had about 1/4 of the deaths in 8C that I did in 7C. I think 8C might even have been easier than 8A and 8B, just because it doesn't have those fireballs / icebulbs that I have so much trouble with.

Holy poo poo, that's evil that they patched that in. I'm glad I beat it before that hit the switch version lol.

Makes sense, that jump was clearly meant to require wall jumping but seems that they forgot to account for the fact that a player could just dash up and right a bit earlier.

I just finished 8C, but the game crashed. Is there a special cut-scene or anything that I missed, or does it just go back to the level-select screen?

There's no cutscene, but you should have gotten the 'Thanks for Playing' achievement.

I'm watching both vids and all I can think of is "Am I the only one that went through the hole in the bottom instead of going above the spikes*?"

EDIT: * Not during the part that was patched, the jump after - I go through that small hole in the bottom and then dash up to catch the spring.

You are not. It never even occured to me to do it any other way.

I noticed that hole and realized it would be possible to go through there but I was already used to taking the top and had an almost perfect track record of not loving up that section so I just stuck with my route.

I saw it, but it seemed like it would be much more difficult than just going over, so I never tried.

that spike wall being there probably quadrupled the amount of time I spent on 7c

anyway I finally beat the game in under an hour! I'm free at last because I'm not insane enough to try for a faster time

loving finally finished 7C. Took forever. Hey, at least the death count is an even number...


And for some reason I didn't realize 8C was also an actual level. Going to need a break for a few days before I tackle that I think.

Reach for the moon!
Assist mode is an extra options menu that lets you toggle stuff like infinite dashes, slowing down the game by incremental percents, and so on. It's basically a cheat menu designed for people who aren't skilled enough to beat certain stuff but still want to see the whole game, or those who are straight up incapable because of disabilities or similar.

It only does this while you have options in the menu turned on, if you turn them off again the stamp will go away.

edit: Oh, used to be that way though apparently.

Did you ignore the popup when you first started the game that said "You can do this! But we recognize that if you actually can't do this, we have ways to make it so you can do this"?

THIS is actually the point.

The mountain is a special place and different people get different things out of it. Some will feel accomplished having finished with assist mode, some won't. What's important is not letting someone else define your own self-worth and sense of accomplishment.
