There's a much harder sliding course in the last stretch of the game, and the flamethrower helps a LOT in getting through it.

Also the maxed out lightning bolt. It's ridiculous but it looks badass.

This is a great game, but it seems a bit easy so far. Did I miss a difficulty option? I also keep getting a MMX vibe here and there while playing, which I personally find to be extremely win.

theres no difficulty options, they expect you to try to speedrun though and figure out low %, stuff like that. later on there will be dlc characters and costumes with different stats, and i assume at least one will be super low health or double damage or no items or whatever

Yeah for this first run going for 100% at about the halfway point you're unstoppable with like 7+ hearts, taking half damage. As I'm scouting for 100% in the end game it looks like you'll basically have an infinite mana pool too lol. Beating the game in 2 hours though seems harder than pirates curse because of the specific collectibles you'll have to find on first pass and how you prioritize that

you not only get infinite magic, but the shield upgrades to full invincibility, and you can learn dances to refill your health or spawn healing items

even before all that, you can learn the full gem magnet, the gemjug dance, and just stand in the healing sauna and mash buttons to get free money

the powers the game gives you are silly

Ive unlocked the last level with basically 100% except I need to grind gems to buy a few of the level 3 magic. Cant wait to see what the final level looks like. Overall, unless the last 20 minutes blows my loving mind, Im gonna say this is my 2nd fave shantae. Theres a lot of really fun transformations and it let them get creative with some of the harder collectibles, but I still prefer the pirates curse upgrades, especially once you had everything and could zip across the world in 2 minutes. I will also try to speed run this game at some point although I never actually learned the second half of the games bosses because I stood still and had endless scimitar protection

Lol at using flamethrower + infinite magic in the final escape sequence. I got 100% in a little over 5 hours, I could definitely do it in under 4 on genie mode

I picked this up yesterday and I'm the worst at it of any player in history.

It's pretty fun.

I need help though: How the gently caress do I get to the Bat transformation?!?! I even looked up where it's at, but this is as close as I can get to it:

Its a monkey upgrade that lets you shoot horizontally off surfaces youre clinging to. I think its hidden in the first level somewhere underwater.

Thank you for bumping this thread though because you reminded me I wanted to try to get the speedrun cheevo in this

Yeah, I figured it was more appropriate than asking all my questions in the general games thread.

Edit: there's a pipe in the first level that I can't jump high enough to get to with the crab...

Edit2: found it.

Also I will probably end up getting the 100% speedrun challenge on this file even though i spent a ton of time mapping out each level along the way, NG+ lets you get a ton of stuff early. But i also have a super low gem count so I need to find the fastest way to farm gems thatisnt the gem jug trick because thats boring.

I like the little animation shantae and sky do on the world map screen where they look like they're having the time of their life riding on wrench

Great game all around. Too easy but hopefully the risky boots story mode will be a bit harder without unlimited invincibility being a regular move you can pick up
