Re: Splash Girl
All in all I'd say this is a pretty awesome game. Based on that version from the previous page. Buggy as fuck, but still brilliant. The game saves your progress automatically (in terms of unlocking levels) and remembers it until you close the window, even after reseting with that button in the bottom right corner. If you close and re-open the game, you will need to load by "using" the clock.
Yeah....downloaded it. Animations and sounds are decent. Movement is clunky and hard to pull off well. Default control settings are pretty weird. Gameplay itself is pretty strange and hard to figure out anything. I got to the end of each level and nothing happened. Killed two bosses. Got to a courtyard and a gate that was blocked and nothing to do or nowhere to go. Went to basement and killed boss only to get to a dead end with nothing to do or nowhere to go.
And this was the end product? Not an alpha demo or something?
And yeah, it's like Serpent said. You need to kick the green rooted thingies. Each time you fuck a new root, it opens up another portion of the map. There are five distinct areas each with their own boss in total. And then after those a final outdoors stage can be found through that overgrown gate, with a mix of all enemies. Pay attention to the blocked stair cases, because they unblock depending on the order you complete levels. You can also jump attack into the odd red bumps (that I mistook for portals at first) to get launched about the map as a short cut. Occasionally the game will seem to bug and give you infinite health for one level also. Losing to a boss seems to trigger it. Might even be intentional. Dunno.
I'll note also that the water level is also bugged. if you get a game over whilst attempting it the first time, if you then return via the same route you'll walk in at the end of the level instead and have instant access to the green root thing. If you want to retry the water level more legitimately, I think you can enter it from the door at the right side of the the courtyard, provided you've unlocked it.
Overall the game has a really expressive style, which whilst bizarre, works quite well. The level design is simple, but varies just the right amount, and there's a nice large assortment of enemies, whose H-interactions often aren't just dull fixed length animations either. Some of the enemies like the manfish (or whatever it was called) you can still struggle and walk about with whilst mounted. Other ones like the small flying thing you can deliberately use to ride over pools and past obstacles. And the angel is just awesome. She gets angry if you struggle, and things get crazy from there.
Also after completing the game, or if you fail on the final stage (probably a bug) you unlock a bunch of strange empty mecha suits around the map, like those large red enemies use. Whilst naked you can get in to "ride", which is brilliant fun. Be sure to try out all the normal buttons whilst riding, but I won't spoil it any more than that. :3
