I love this game, and it changed a lot since I first played, I was not knowing what to do so I just abandonned ( it was like 3 years ago ) Right now I reinstalled the game 3 days ago and already finished the game twice! I am just really annoyed because I got 9 power orbs and that I need 10. My review is: the gameplay is really nice, the art too, I like looking for secrets ( but honestly there are some that are way too hidden for almost anybody to see it on their first playtrought ), I am mad because I cant find all the shards at the last part for the keys ( I looked EVERYWHERE and am missing 20 shards ), the only thing that I dont really like about the game is that if you missed someting and are looking around, you will encounter a lot of ennemies, so just to find it takes like 30 min, 3 min of walking, 27 min of fighting. Last thing, its pretty annoying that there are almost no information about the game, the only thing to help me solve puzzles and find a few secrets was watching a video if the game. So this game is really good, I love the gameplay ( so much that I got someting like 20 hours on the game ) and you did a good work. Almost forgot, when you miss one of more power orbs, you need to restart to get them, wich can be pretty frustrating.
Thank you very much! ^^
First of all, there is a Walkthrough available here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/119207938
I guess it couldn't hurt to mention its existence in the intro screen... I'll keep that in mind!
If you went through every room of the Night dome and still didn't find the missing stars, even with the radar, you might be missing a secret room! One thing you can use to figure out where it is is the fact that this map is symmetrical ^^
I agree that some secrets are way too hard to find, I do plan at hinting at some of them in various ways in future builds. And, I also have plans to make fights skippable if you've beaten that enemy enough times! The encounter rate is an issue for sure currently.
One last thing, you can get every power orb without restarting! It's possible to go back to Auria and Sablee by using the pod in the top right of the Rietti plains once you've beaten the last boss of the demo ^^
Again, thank you! I appreciate the praises and the feedback!
Thanks a lot for telling about the fact I can go back, I was about to start a new game to find all of them. But I dont think there are anything that say you can do that in the game, am I wrong? Too, I would say that the puzzles in the Auria tower are easily the hardest. Almost nobody would think of interacting with the clouds in the background, and to find the removable bricks, I need to click everywhere and see if someting move, maybe I suck at seeing difference between colors. ( I am 100% sure that the only orb left for me is in the Auria tower wich can tell that its hard ) and thanks too for telling that the map is symetrical, gonna save me a LOT of time. And fights are already skippable, but they are not always. I dont know what makes it so I can skip it or not, and the shapes are not skippable but that is normal to me.
The sign at the end of the game does mention the pod and being able to go back to Sablee / Auria ^^
I actually disagree about the clouds and bricks in Auria! The bricks are slightly discolored, but also shake when hovered upon ^^
The clouds are harder to think of, until you encounter these lines of clouds jumping in the background. Although, I'm planning on giving them a better SFX when clicked, and maybe making it so you don't have to click them 3 times to destroy them, that could help.
About the fights, you can always walk back the way you came from when you encounter one, so it's possible to skip them in that sense! Smash also lets you instantly destroy fights if you're 10 lvls or more above the enemy, but yeah that doesn't work on Shape fights, you'll need a Heart dummy for these ^^
Ight, thanks, the bricks are most likely because I changed the luminosity of my screen so it makes the color harder to differentiate. Thanks for the walktrought, it was a bit long to follow the instructions but I managed to get the last orb! ( It was indeed in the auria tower ) Thanks a lot for telling me that it was symmetrical, I would have took ages to find everything else.
