Actually...no I have not # well then i will not be playing metroid tonight. Sigh...oh well, I like the game anyway!
What weapon did you have when you killed the portal boss? I've upgraded my gun to the Spoiler ninja stars and I can't seem to hit him enough times to kill him. Tough boss!
I had the same bullets. Just activate goggles and play dodgeball with his eye while shooting. You'll get him down with persistence. I am lacking 2 squares now. No idea where they areĀ kind of given up.
Someone should really start a help thread for this game. Reading this one with all the blacked out spoiler text gives me a weird 1984ish totalitarian censorship vibe. Anyway, awesome game btw.
I dropped down many times and have had many attempts at the boss but now I'm not sure if I did something different by accident but i can't drop through the floor anymore. I'm stuck in the endless portals unable to suicide. Has anyone else experienced this ? Does anyone know of a solution ? Thanks in advance for helping. Congrats to the dev on a great game. The more I play the more I love it. You really bond with the character when gameplay is old Skool hard like this because the sense of achievment at succeeding is amplified by the difficulty. edit : nvm I found my way back to the save room somehow. Still struggling with the boss. One more thing. There is a lot of content here for the money. My first playthrough was halted by the sequence breaking bug after 5 hours. I'm now 7 hours into my second attempt and enjoying every minute. I reckon there's many more hours here left to go at too. Right back to that boss ...
Universally good reviews for this game including a 9/10 from Pocket Gamer (who don't usually publish accurate reviews). Congrats Wade. I hope it's selling as well as its reviewing. If anybody is on the fence about this because of the games aesthetics then I would say get this. Yes the game only runs in part of the screen. It's a design choice, your fingers are never in the way of the action. Yes the buttons are big and ugly. It's a design choice. You can clearly see every button press as the button is pressed. The buttons have never failed me and being able to see them despite my giant thumbs is resulting in more accuracy. Superb choices imo !
Astronot really does deserve to be played by as many people as possible, and I hope as many people as possible also buy the PC/Mac version and check out the editor! I've started work on a map based on the original Metroid, but I'd love to see what crazy ideas others come up with! I'm thinking of starting an editor tutorial thread in these forums to share what I've learned so far, and where others can share their knowledge. Yes, I know this is for discussing iOS games, but since we'll eventually be able to load user-created levels into our iOS devices, I think we should help each other understand the editor so there will be content to download when that update hits!
I know that the gray horned enemies can be attacked off-screen. Does the Tank Knight Boss need to be visible in order to receive damage or can you shoot him down the hall while he is out of sight?
All enemies take damage offscreen from your weapon (as long as you hit them, of course). Okay, I am stuck and I hope it's not unsolvable. I am all the way left and towards the top of the map in an ocean. There is an underwater save location and Spoiler a green square to the right of the save that is found with the goggles . There is a room above the surface with a switch that opens up a door that is accessed by entering an underwater chamber to the left of the save location (there's a gray enemy and then an underwater tube going up). The top room is separated by lava falls. I got here by jumping across platforms from the right and didn't realize that I couldn't jump across the lava pit to return until it was too late. Is there something that I've missed or am I just screwed? Thanks for any help.
3rd restart from being stuck pretty much at all of the points mentioned in this thread. Now at this point I'm really not sure what I'm even allowed to do in this game. This is more than a little aggrevating, though I do love the game
The Tank Knight can be damaged off-screen because when I beat him, I heard the explosion when he was off-screen.
Once you get the goggles, I don't think you can get stuck anywhere. So ignore the squares and focus on Spoiler killing the giant eye (and the tank to help with that) first.
This game is fantastic.... It's too bad people these days have to have their hand held while playing games.... We need more games like Astronot
I'm also stuck at this part... However, I have the Spoiler lava suit and can travel up the lava (already did that and got the square) and into the next area. However, There is a teleport pad in there that doesn't work...
I submitted an update that fixes the terrain issues everyone has experienced Spoiler except those 5 blocks of lava on the 23rd of June. It's still Waiting for Review, and I have no control over this. Spoiler That's on purpose. Okay. What does that area look like? The spot with the pillars and the red metal? Have you seen that before?
I need help with one of the bosses pls :- Spoiler Do I need some extra powerup to defeat the mummy boss that spews out gold stars ? I have the gun upgrade / lava suit / 75% health upgrades and the goggles. I know the bosses take perseverance but I can't see any way to avoid dmg :/ Thx in advance for any help. 17 hours in (because I'm rubbish!) but still loving this awesome game !
