In my mind, that right there is a feat in itself.." Please explain where in the world do you see the metroidvania elements in this game? have you ever played those games? this is nothing alike.
Jesus really??? Alright... It's NOTHING like Metroid... But you need to collect power ups in stages further along in order to get feathers in the earlier stages... Thought that's what metroidvania was... Collecting powerups so you can backtrack and reach areas you saw, but couldn't reach before.... Am I wrong about that too? Why not just say "syntheticvoid, you have no idea what you're talking about, you freakin idiot!" and we'll leave it at that...
syntheticvoid, you say you've influenced 9 people to get Miss Claire Garden? It's actually 10. The problem is...with every update that comes out, I say "Well, I'll give it another go." and I just can't for the love of God see where that "great gameplay" you talk about is. I'm not going to go into detail, but if you think MaXplosion and Hooga are better than League of Evil...well, then...maybe I should watch out before purchasing anything you recommend. I'm sincerely sorry for being such an ass and have tried rewording this post a whole bunch of times...but Hooga? Really? :/
Oh shut up! Don't be sorry or try wording your responses carefully because of me... If you have a different opinion, by god say it... And you are right, Hooga is not one I would recommend to people right off the bat... But in my mind, it's a decent platformer. With Miss Claire Garden, I didn't like it at first... Actually didn't like it until inpowered through he first 10 stages or so... Then it just grew on me... By the 24th stage it had won me over completely. As for the updates, I actually think they've ruined the game... I've got version 1.1 on my iPod... And refuse to update... I made the mistake of updating to 1.2 when I was on stage 24 my first time through, and I ended up deleting the game from my iPod and reinstalling v1.1 from my PC... My whole point with that original post was that I don't get how a game you can run through in less than a day is the best plaformer in the AppStore... I've come to the conclusion that there's a HUGE diversity of platforming fans, some of which, this is just the top of the top for them... And that's great... But I prefer more substance... A game that takes me days to beat, and has a challenge that reminds of playing Mario back when I was a kid... Not Mario style... But constant dying, constant trying, and an actual feeling of "OH MY GOD!!!!!" when you do finally beat the game... How about we all drop it, and you guys can go back to talking about how great this game is
I'm glad we can go back to discussing how great this game is. I've got a question for the experts. I'm stuck on trying to get the briefcase in level 24 of The Blocks Cometh. I can get the briefcase, but I can't back out. How do you get past those two spikey blocks when going back up? I die there every time. It seems impossible.
One method to get past the two spikey blocks is to go to the right side of the little area that they're moving back and forth in. When they are both about in the middle, with the bottom spiky block moving from left to right, (double)jump straight up, cling to the wall, and then quickly wall jump onto the ledge. If I wasn't in school right now, I'd post a pic to explain it better. Hope it helps.
Ah, I will definitely give that a shot. Hopefully it works because trying to get that damned briefcase has been causing a lot of unsightly swearing here.
The voluminous swearing has been, momentarily at least, abated! It took me 10 tries or so, but finally got it right. Thanks!
So any news on futher updates? I'm done with everything in this update and am anxious to play some new stuff!
i'm glad you didn't want to flood the thread with your bs. Gameplay = quality and since LoE is the most FUN and POLISHED in the appstore, that's why is the best. geez.
yeah, another chapter on the way, looks like the CONTENT is increasing is now on the jungle and we'll be able to pwn RAMBO . just check their FB page, there are screen of it.
Not at all. That is right. But calling this game metroidvania is another thing. Those games rock. This one, so so....
