I like white chocolate. It may be an abomination before the gods of cocoa beans but it's a tasty one.

There's no chocolate in white chocolate if I remember right, still doesn't stop it from being delicious though :v:

I bet you're one of those people who only considers it to be real chocolate if it's at least 60% dark.

...and you'd be right :v:

You need some bitterness for chocolate to taste good. Otherwise it is just horrible and cloying.

My wife works in the QA labs for the beverage division of a store chain up here (Wawa, if you're interested), and I can confirm that if they have to reject a truck of milk because it came in at too high a temperature, or any of a number of other reasons, it goes right to Hershey's.

On-topic, the game's part of this week's Humble Bundle (Brawlers) if you spend $8.00 or more.

I've had some spicy-ish hot chocolate and it was delicious, definitely recommending it. Probably not an original Maya or Aztec recipe or something, but it was good quality chocolate, and deliciously spicy.

And I also dislike Oreos. The cookie part is mediocre, and the cream is mediocre. Why have that when I can have nice cookies filled with nice cocoa cream?

British guy chiming in to chocolate chat, Cadburys used to be a decent brand of chocolate, Dairy Milk was one of my favourites, but then Cadbury's was bought by Kraft, maker of cheap cheese products and the quality of the chocolate has gone down.

Galaxy is still the reigning King of chocolate though, and always will be!

Actually the only edible thing about Britain I remember from my couple visits there is chocolate: they make those delicious chocolate oranges* and you can't get that thing anywhere else.

*No idea whether they contain any chocolate or orange. Remember, I'm the guy who likes white.

People seem to be dumping on Hersey's, but it's manna from heaven compared to Nestle.

And the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing people that white chocolate is edible.

On topic, this about where I gave up in the game. I just don't have the reflexes to be able to consistently make the transition from one special move to the next.

What I mean is, I'm bad at video games.

I've got a chocolate orange right now (since I can just grab one in the shops) and, as it's plastered all over the packaging, is made from REAL orange. Oil.

I swear they're smaller then they're used to be, but I think that applies to pretty much everything these days.

I gave up back at that tree with the unending gimmick of "you just got dimension shifting so now do a lot of dimension shifting". Between dimension shifting, jumping, wall-jumping, wall-sliding, special moves, spikes, and long stretches to repeat if you fall and screw up ... well let's just say I fat-fingered a hell of a lot and hit one thing when I'd intended to hit another.

Which I mean is, I'm even worse at video games.

Handless friends, you should try slowing down and playing more deliberately. Combos and combo trials can be drawn way out and even timed segments tend to be generous, game rarely asks for lightning fingers. And when you do want to be fast, remember you can freely dodge out of all your moves to cut off dead time and add precision and fluidity. Controls are really fun in this game, relax and enjoy.

It wasn't the combat that was the block for me, it was the platforming. As with Vil, I kept fat-fingering the buttons and screwing up jumps. It got super-frustrating, and I just moved on to other games.

I was talking about platforming too, you usually have all day to set up jumps. I don't know how many tries I took to first get through that one optional upcoming long vertical segment, but every one was my own fault because I just kept making stupid jumps. The second time through was painless because I didn't rush. If you're pushing the wrong buttons, push them slower (and not wrong). There's tricky parts but this honestly isn't a very demanding game, it's just hard if you make it hard.

You know, if someone decides they don't want to spend their leisure time on a videogame because it got too hard, that's their choice. They aren't required to "man up" and train their clutch little-cartoon-mans-controlling skills. If you don't want to play something, you don't have to, and frankly it's great that there are games that cater to all skill levels these days.

That said, the secret level with the Mega Man blocks was my favorite bit and there's no way in hell you're going to finish that by slowing down. :v:

Slowing down actually is how to do that area, headbutting in midair to control the pace makes it a ton easier. And I was hardly saying GIT GOOD, just that this game becomes a lot harder when you rush at it.

That said I freely admit to never finishing the chicken-to-the-end hell room, I imagine I was doing it dumb and haven't really cared to mess with it.

Yeah, Olmec Headbutt in midair works wonders for that room. As for the spoilered room, it all comes down to being able to dimension-swap and then immediately grab. It's far easier to control your progress there when you're never going off target for more than a few frames at a time.

Okay here's the deal the person who beats the most of kalon's times gets a lovely game that I hate and I think is an anime, and they will also get a "puzzler" that looks terrible and I think is some sort of bejeweled thing and I do not know why it is even in my steam inventory. If you beat all his times I'll throw in a Bonus game. (Bonus game TBD).
