It was the stone at the top of the tower. When I failed to beat the two “arrow girls”, I reload the game only to find the character stuck behind the stone. I could see her hair sticking up, and pushing the buttons she moved, but she couldn’t free herself from the stone. By the way, how many times do you have to hit (using fire arrows, I guess) the arrow girls to beat them?
Oh wow, interesting how I've looked over that.
Yeah, saving at the location where the rock was positioned will save your location right at that spot. That's something I should patch out.
I assume you're no longer stuck there through your restart, but now the room itself locks you in because the door only opens after beating the boss. (that something I could also look into, as it locks you out of backtracking for potentional upgrades)
At least you have necessary tools to beat the arrow girls. You have to hit them with the Fire Arrows 17 times.
Good luck!
I enjoyed everything, except the two a**holes in the tower.
I’m rather hooked on games where you have to explore, and especially if the game comes with a map (like this one).
In most RPG games, the game decides when you have to fight, which can be both annoying and repetitive. In this game, the player decides when to fight. Mostly, you can avoid the foes if you want to quickly move from one area to another, which is a big plus in games like this.
Edited: And if your question meant, how did I find this game among all others. I searched “free RPG maker games (or was it metroidvania?), top rated” and went deep into the list. If I see a very few people having given a game 4 to 5 stars, it’s worth trying. I have found some really gems that way, and been thinking it’s sad the games haven’t been discovered by more people.
Edit II: Recommended, "Prom Dreams: A High School Love Story", a gem I found on this site and which I played a few years ago. It's full of dialogue, which I usually hate, but it's the first and only time I've been touched by the plot in a video game.
Ohh, that's a really cool initiative!
I'm also a big fan of finding hidden gems, or just been there for the people that could use it.
I appreciate your efforts to help smaller devs out there.
I wouldn't mind been small myself, it makes contact with each other more humble and approachable, and it makes me appreciate any attention the game gets.
I should try going back to playing small indies myself, there's a huge collection out there and it's fun to get inspired by them again.
Thanks for your reply!
