Bomb jumping isn't really that important unless you're really going out of your way to skip stuff. Wall jumping, mock balling and doing short charged shinesparks are the big things.

they teach you how to do most of the really good poo poo in-game, only big trick the game doesn't teach you is the mockball. after that it's all about application and execution

Rondo is actually a European baking machinery manufacturer, either styled simply Rondo or RONDO after a merger between Rondo and Doge. I am not making this up. Source: I work in a Dunkin' Donut's Factory Kitchen.

Valdis Story is pretty awesome. The biggest annoyance is skill cancel being the down button, since joysticks can trip it in a pretty big direction. I actually found keyboard controls to work really well instead.

Because it's basically a fighting game and unlike most exploration games the fighting is fun and rewarding? I still need to bear Guacamelee but the first fifteen minutes didn't really sell me on it.
