Thanks, I'll check it out...Soon as I can. :)
i have played the demo of it and so far it looks awesome! I love the sound quality and it is a very fun game.
I'll be buying it next Tuesday when I get paid. I'm already working on my own guide for it.
Cool, I've been wondering when he planned on releasing a new game. I'll definitely be checking this out.
I think the game is fun. :) I like all kinds of games.
I've played this game, and it's great. For those of you who like the music to it, it was all done by our own community leader Q. I was pretty sure the music was his work when I heard it, but saw his name on the credits.
Now that's cool. Guess that means I better get really good on the theremin so that I can stand a chance of possibly contributing some music if ThomasWard of USA Games ever decides to design a Castlevania style game.
I absolutely love this game. :) It's very fun and addictive. lol
Well I'll be purchasing my copy tomorrow just as son as my SSI comes in. All I have to say about that is woo-hoo!
Agreed, Brian. I'm purchasing my copy on Wednesday.
I purchased mine last week and love the game. I don't think I'll ever get through the death world though. Even with lots of shields and stuff left over, it's still hard. The only way I can see doing this is if you have enough shields to run and shoot through the entire 3 levels.
The thing that sucks about using the shields is that the sound is so loud that you can't tell where the pits are to jump, so I end up falling in. And is it just me, or as soon as you activate a shield, about 10 different things come up and surround you and start hitting the shield, making it even harder to hear? If anybody has some tips for that, please share.
Hmmm, I've not noticed that using the shield increases the enemies around you. They seem to be about the same number. Maybe it just sounds like there are more because when they do hit you, it makes a metallic sound, rather than the noises of Q9 getting hurt. Also, because you're not fighting them as hard while under the shield's protection, maybe it seems like there are more, because you're not killing them as quickly.
I too, have not found a way to get past the death world. I can get to it, but thus far have not gotten past the first level. Has anyone here beaten the game? If so, any tips on that?
Yes i finished the game several times.
My tip is to walk as slowly as possible in the death world. Wait untill all the enemies come to you and when you don't hear any more make a few steps to get more. If you run you get more enemies all at once which makes things difficult. And for the boss level my advice is to save as many rocks as possible and fire them toward the boss. This is the way to kill him.
Hmmm, maybe it just sounds that way because they sometimes run back and forth. Either way, it confuses me. It could also have something to do with the fact that I activate a shield and stand still sometimes just so I won't fall off the edge due to not hearing it, and maybe if you do that enemies surround you. I try not to use the shields because if I do, I'm bound to run off the cliffs.
I've thus far managed to make it to the Death World on every playthrough. I've actually reached the third level once but I'm currently hung up on level 2. At one point I managed to acumulate over 300 rocks, which for the most part I managed to hold onto until Death World, but so far I haven't cleared the second stage yet. And given...well the little twist once you reach level three there's no last chance to rack up extra supplies.
Nikos, your tip makes sense. I had to walk extremely slowly through the cave and mountain worlds the first few times I went through them. It took me forever, and it was painstaking, but I figured out how to make it work. Now I can move through them a lot faster, but stil be accurate about it. Maybe that's what I need to do in the death worlds, rather than run like hell to get through them as quickly as possible. LOL. . That, and be smarter about conserving my weapons like rocks and shields early on, so I have more for the death and boss worlds.
Sounds good. I'll look at the link and try out the demo later.
Well as of a few minutes ago I finally beat Q9. Nicos' tip definitely does help since you have fewer enemies after you at once. Even so I made it to the final portal with only 60-odd rocks, no Deus Shields and only 10 strength. Luckily I had plenty of lives to spare, and the boss is easy compared to the world leading up to him.
LOL, now you guys got me thinking about xmas coming up. :) To bad most of the people I know don't buy accessible games...Anyways, I'll get it eventually...
It's definitely well worth it. But if you wait too long you won't be able to get the discount. The game normally costs thirty bucks and until January 1 you can get it for twenty-five. I bought my copy on Tuesday morning.
It's a cool game. I just can't seem to be able to jump over the well or whatever that is near the start of the game.
They're pits, and they pop up through out the game, so get used to them. Lol. All you have to do is listen for the change in the grou d you're walking on, and take 2 steps onto that, then jump by holding down your up arrow and tapping the right arros fast until you clear it.
Yes, the pits do take getting used to. When I first started playing the game, I fell into those damn things constantly. Now I find them relatively easy. When you're right on the edge, you hear the sound of your steps change from whatever they are on that level to a sound like you're stepping in mud. What I wish would happen is that if you kill an enemy when you're right by a pit, you could hear the enemy fall into it. That'd be amusing.
That would be pretty awesome. I like how you can chase animals into those force fields or whatever they're called, and they sometimes die. My boyfriend was doing that the other day to a bunch of the bats and it was quite amusing.
This game is grate. And I have beaten it a few times. O and the six deth annimations are funny.
I've only seen three, two in the Cave World and one in Death World. Ah ow! I don't like flying creatures...Ow!
Can I actually jump over the pits in the demo? I keep getting to them, trying to fight off enemies and dying. Haha.
Yeah, you can jump over pits in the demo. Just kill the enemies first before you jump. In the cave you should jump up and kill the bats first. I actually didn't know you could kill the bats the first time I played.
I didn't know, either. I kept dying in the cave level till I learned that. Now I kill bats, and all other surrounding enemies before I jump over pits.
I guess my question is this game came out what? a week? 2 weeks? ago? and their are already people done it? what are you going to do now?
That will be the case with any game. some beat it remarkably quickly. Maybe they just wait for the next new one to come out. That, and you also have to ask, what level did they beat it on? If someone beat it on the easy setting, then they'll probably step it up to a more difficult one for more of a challenge.
Hi guys here are a few cheats for this game.
21 guns: get a good gun.
hitchin' a ride: don't need to jump of the pit.
hth
Cheats don't usually work though until the player has actually unlocked the cheats file. So posting them is pretty pointless unless you assume everyone's already unlocked them.
I think the cheets work because i heard people finishing the game with cheets and they didn't get the ending.
I finished the game on easy as i said and also in survival mode so now i am trying the medium difficulty. But i have to say it is very difficult so this should keep me busy for a few weeks i would say.
H'm,well I haven't finished the game yet,and I can use the cheats.
Yeah, you can use the cheats before you finish, but then you don't get the ending. There are others too, but I personally don't like using the one for walking over pits. That makes the game pointless to me. The laser gun is nice, and I also like the fact that all the cheat codes are Green Day references.
Yes, I too have finished the game with cheat codes, but as others have said, you don't get the real ending if you do it that way. I had not even picked up on the fact that those were Green Day references. Hahahaha! and, I want to finish it without any cheat codes, both so I can hear the real ending, and because I want the challenge of it. The various cheats are cool, but I want to be able to beat the game with my own skills.
And I won't use the cheats until I actually unlock them. I also didn't get the Green Day reference. Think Philip is a fan?
k,I never said that you guys should use the cheats,but they were for those who want it.
How many are there just out of curiosity?

Too bad he couldn't have used a few more. I'm fucking lazy could have played the end of the game. American Idiot could curse all Americans to hell. Know your enemies could kill all of the enemies as you walk through the game. Do you have the time to listen to me wine could deactivate your key. LOL
I really want to purchase this game, bu I don't have any money right now. lol
I begin to suspect that Philip is a fan, otherwise he wouldn't have used so many Green Day references. I've got a lot of their albums and just ordered the new one on Saturday. My introduction to that album was the one good thing to come out of my latest attempt at a romantic relationship LOL.
Scott, maybe you should send him your ideas for those extra cheats? lol
My husband and I had a "date night" playing this. First we tried the Demo, and before my husband got past the second level, he said "I'm buying this. It's ourChristmas present." Sohe did and I can't leave it alone. The kids are asleep and I'm having a blast!
:) glad you're enjoying it.
Just don't go nuts with the slingshot. You're going to need it in the Death World. Even on easy it's no walk in the park.
Hello all,
I am glad to see so much discussion going on here about my games, it's very rewarding after working on it for so many months. Thanks to all of you who purchased it!
And did I mention that there is a different ending when you beat the game on medium, hard and insane than when you beat it on easy?
Merry Christmas to all, and don't forget to beat up some elves as well in Kringle Crash. Grins.
Kind regards,
Philip Bennefall
I haven't even beaten it on easy yet, let alone the other levels. However, I did see Scot beat it on the easy level just yesterday. You get some of the satisfaction of the ending, but Philips sarcasm reigns supreme yet again. *Grin* Scot also reached the death world on the normal level, so he'll likely beat it on that setting before I do, too. *Pouts* Just kidding. Still an addicting game.
Philip, ify ou saw the post about putting in a cheat that will let q9 just run through each level and watch his enimies kill each other, I'd find that amusing. lol Okay, I've got a warped sense of humor sometimes, but hey ...
I can generally make it to level 3 of the Death World on Medium but I need to either get better at dodging attacks , not get swarmed by enemies so many times or better yet work on conserving ammo until I get there.
