Yeah this has made my weekend. Definitely my vote for GOTW... Though I bought DQ1 also and that is one of my favorite RPG series of them all.
Just finished this today with all treasures found... Except the 3rd hidden level. Due to my need to spend some time with my wife : o A problem I intend to rectify tomorrow. Also took some time revisit a lot of the favorite levels I already completed with different swords and relics equipped. This game was an absolute blast but greatly would feel more whole with maybe two more levels. Guess I'll swing back over to devious Dungeon which I put down for quite some time now somewhere around level 70. Also fantastic by the way. Thanks so much for a very fun experience!
Was getting frustrated in the castle so deleted the game, reinstalled and now I'm back on track. The second time around I held on to my coins and saved up for the Excalibur which is making the castle much more enjoyable. This game is just too good and didn't mind whipping through the forest again. Anyway...just thought I would share in case anyone had the same frustrations.
I seem to have unlocked the achievement for the secret levels in chapters 1 & 2... but where do I find this secret levels please? Or does this mean I have already played them?
Those are the last levels in each chapter: 1-16 and 2-16. They only unlock when you've found all other crystals in the chapter.
I'm freaking out... Level 3-12! One missing chest. Spoiler In the middle of the level there are two statues where you can activate a switch but nothing happens. There is no difference when the switch is activated or not. Please help me ;(
I've just unlocked the dark cave, when it registers an attack as a jump is beginning to Cause problems now, it's gotten me killed so many times, wasn't too bad in the forest levels but now a jump when there should be an attack puts me right into overhead enemies. Don't get me wrong, the game is still great and all that, but it can be very frustrating when you know you can clear a section but it takes a few attempts ecause of misregistered controls.
Finished everything in the second world (including hidden items) now except the bonus level and speedrunning for an achievmeent. I'm enjoying this too much... it's like I want to play that third area but I want to enjoy every second of it to make the experience last as long as possible. Quite a turn around from Mikey Boots which had me feeling like the experience was not really fun due to the boring way the levels were laid out and I wish it were over already. Controls on the 4S have been fine through out. Also on the iPod Touch (8gb & 16gb models) my kids are really enjoying this. That says a lot considering how often they skip over platformers or how unoptimized they are for those devices. Mikey Hooks & Super Heavy Sword are good examples of new games that don't work that well at all on the Touch 4, where as this game has no issues. I take it the engine is just coded really intelligently with optimization in mind? Whatever the case... this is the way to build a good reputation on the appstore.
I still can't find the last crystal in 2-16. I see other people in the thread asking. Would any kind soul mind telling us where this is? I've spent probably a half hour on just this level alone and it's getting kind of boring. Also, does anyone know what the Fairy Guardian does? It seems to float around and not do anything.
