Yeah, I'd never even pick it up, because I preferred to maintain a continuous hail of fireballs and I didn't want to miss anything by being stuck on the board.

I'll map the game out sometime so I can get a better feel for which skateboards are "safe" to pick up, in that they give you a useful extra hitpoint AND have a safe ditch spot before you need to be on-foot again.

I haven't done it in a while, but iirc he trips over an imaginary rock right at the bosses room and losses the skateboard.

Oh well, there goes an idea for a "challenge mode" (as if this game needs one)


Another, of course, would be to navigate the game as a pacifist and ONLY attack the boss.  (and don't grab the hammer until the first boss' room)

Best I got and gave it my all for the final. I made a supreme love hate with this game today, 5 hours worth. I was using Vec's score as the barometer - I know he's not in my tier - until arch came in here and blew the doors off the place.

Had real fun with this one regardless. Hopefully, I'll be able to participate more in the Fall/Winter tourney, if my kid allows it, that is.




I hear you, after today my family is ready to break my controllers. Going to have to pick and choose what games I devote my time to. I am very happy to have placed this time. Thanks again to everyone for everything.
