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

I only played up to the Mermaid Falls level after buying Half Genie Hero last night. Namely because of the Humble Bundle giving me Pirates Curse (which I'm going to play first) and Day of the Tentacle Remastered. I am really digging both games, the music is great and the gameplay is well done.

If you get the Humble Bundle that has Pirate's Curse, I suggest you get the tier with Deadbolt & DotTR. Deadbolt is sort of like Gunjack and I like that a lot so far.

I wanna get the 2 hour challenge but NG+ is boring because of starting with harpy so I'll try to do it regular which may be more challenging. It's fun to mix and match

Thinking about it. I would love to watch a 4 person race of either Shantae game. It probably won't be amazing but I just like the speedrun race idea.

Pirates Curse NG+ is a cool speedrun and I'm surprised it hasn't been at a GDQ before. Its probably too sexy

the game bugged and gave me the achievement for both 100% speedrun and any% speedrun, even though I thought any% was under 2 hours. I wanna go for that tonight though, and I think ill stream my attempt at like a 90 minute clear. the road to SGDQ starts here

You're in the top 15 too unless the time you posted was in-game time and not real time. At least for those who submitted their times to speedrun.com since SDA doesn't have a Half Genie Hero category yet.

It was in game time. Idk what my real time was. Id be 7th if I submitted the run to speedrun.com leaderboard (Shantae Hero Mode Any%). Out of 7

A fun thing to do would be to submit completely horrific clear times for games with 3 people on the leaderboard just to start racking up speedrunner karma (<--- does this exist?)

Since Pirate's Curse won't work on my PC for mystical reasons, I'm gonna finish up HGH and try and do a speedrun.

Monkey form is still amazing despite the adorableness of crab form.

The music in this game is also killer but then again its the dude who did Shovel Knight's music so I am not exactly surprised. Speaking of, I need to play the DLC for that game.

Yeah I played Shovel Knight at a friends and never bought it despite meaning to. That issue was solved with a quick trip to GOG.com so no problemos. Gonna play Shantae first though.

Pirate's Curse had good music. I really do need to see what is causing it to crash because I would love to finish that too. The music is also awesome so again, not shocked given the guy's portfolio of amazing songs for games.

Like his stuff and the Crypt of the Necromancer guy never seem to make a bad track.
