Going to have to come back to this one when I have more time.
ReplyDeleteI climbed over a page change with no upper scene to no effect.
I fell way down left of the start & caught a ledge.
Not sure if that was a shortcut or intended.
7/8 spirits saved in 23min. Was fun.
ReplyDeleteI found a few over the top / out of bound areas.
ReplyDeleteThey never helped at all.
I feel like I found everything.
But I never got an end game message.
Edge, sprint, slam, vines, +Grab.
collected a bunch of sprits.
They said I could go now, so goodbye.
I was looking for a walkthrough but all I find is "The Ascent".
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous #2 RE end-of-game message: I reached a clear ending of the game. It was just beyond the ice-cube area that lies east of the particularly-grabby area.
ReplyDeleteThere was one area that took me a lot to get through, because there was a side effect of one mechanic that was (to me) unexpected and unexplained. It was the only frustrating part of the game and was right near the end, so if you don't see the clear "you have won" message, but you think you have all the powerups, and there's one passage you can't go through, then you might be stuck there. Try just using each powerup one by one in that passage. One of them might sort of magically let you go through.
ReplyDeleteThe "bad ending" has a lot more going on than the "good ending" imo
ReplyDeleteHow do you get the "bad" ending?? Zero spirits??
ReplyDeletelovely! had to draw out the whole map to figure out which areas i was missing haha.
ReplyDelete> How do you get the "bad" ending?? Zero spirits??
ReplyDeleteI got the "bad" ending by finishing 7/8, and the "good" ending with 8/8; it's possible there are more endings, but this is what I saw
The jump-to-your-death-fall-through-two-screens-and-grab-a-ledge-by-a-finger part was a little unfair, and I'm sure most people got to it by mistake/luck as I did. I mean falling from that height to the ground kills you, but somehow you can catch yourself? Really? But overall, a good game!
ReplyDeleteif you dash down... you survive a large drop...
ReplyDeleteTook me a while to get that
I saved all of them, played 17 min. Nice short one!
ReplyDeleteI found a walkthrough (7/8 spirits): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzD6-I9KPng
ReplyDeleteI wanted to see the end, because my browser freezed when I was near the end, and I lost progress. :-( I enjoyed the game, but I won't start it over for sure... I watched the walkthrough, but at the ice cubes I couldn't go this way, it was blocked when I was there. :-O But I had a different scene with red squares, and I had no idea, what to do with them. Can someone please tell, is the red squares were the "good" ending, and what should I have to do there?
Maybe I wait a few days and I do it again.
Here is an 8/8 walkthrough, not much difference, no red quares. :-O
