jumping on symbols and restarting every time i fell off then running away from a boulder in the underground cave was, ah, not a highlight. Cool game though, I like the vibe, it has a bit of a Ys feel in a way I can't really pin down

So it's not just me struggling with that part. Does the platforming continue to be important? I can't get the hang of these jumps.

There is quite a lot of platforming

I struggled hard with it for a while and died a few too many times. I feel that you can’t really jump quickly after you land so if you wait a second it works out.

Yeah I had some very frustrating times at Fancy Mel's minigames trying to work this out. It's so jarring going back to a game that doesn't have any kind of coyote time lol

Got through the first two chapters with Rue. Weird game, but it's so charming. Gargoyle rules.

Game is cool. Digging the soundtrack on the first playthrough. Some of the platforming sections were very aggravating, particularly in Mel's atelier and the Tower of Maya. I like all the characters, game has a lot of heart.

this sums it up for me, too. i liked the monster and character designs art-wise. the psx era squigglevision rendering is endearing to me

Won't be able to play for a few days but hopefully get through the Mint campaign in time. Last dungeon was maybe a bit too long and the final boss was poo poo, but that was just kind of the style at the time, can't really find too many major faults with the game. A good nomination

Legend of mana has a spell customization system that's pretty neat, but by the time you can start really getting into it you'll have a weapon that does 2x the damage and the game is over lol

right at the start of Mint's storyline, but spoilering since it could be spoilers for people playing Rue first


drat, Mint is cold to her sister lol. For some reason, I thought Mint was the younger of the two through the whole Rue story.

e: lol at the revenge

I was just about to post the same thing, I was getting frustrated enough with the little bit you have to do in the Underground Ruins as Mint but the part afterward outside Mel's atelier where you just have to do a few lovely Mario levels for no real reason has me shouting at my TV like DSP. I pushed jump dood come on.
