nice game. loved the graphics and the story. the puzzles were nice - not too hard and not too easy but the save-riddle was a bit too unfair. even if you get the idea to use the melody it's hard to copy it. so it mostly ends in trial and error. would like to play more episodes.
game reminds me a bit of deponia. And btw. - great treasure planet reference!

How not to die (on normal mode): on the floors 0-15 first kill all different rats at least one time. remember to heal between. evtl. you have to kill one or two bats blocking the way to potions. go on until you are lvl 1 then grind with bats and rats to lvl 2 or 3. then nothing can stop you.
Read: "Penultimate test" think: ok, now she wants us dead.
next level starts: "nope. can i replay the last level instead?"
stayed over a minute to watch the flower burn! finally over... ("this daddy better be thankful for his own good...") watches ending...: if dad dies before we find him - resurrect him just to kill him ourself! btw. great game!
it's a really nice game. nice platforming. loved the idea of time-stopping and the mechanics linked to it. I would like having a challenge for each level, like comlete without time stopping or with just one time stop, because i managed to complete some of the levels without using the power.
[spoiler ahead]next part dad answers the question: "sorry to tell tell you i don't know it. your mother wanted to explain it in a letter, but the letter got lost in the post office!"
wow. in level 14 i see the mimics death-animation longer than the actual level... wish it would be shorter. - damn its so frustrating to know what you are supposed to do but you can't do it yet
nice game! if you ever had played a bullet hell game and wanted to turn tables - get all upgrades and press z permanently. helped me in the final fight very much!
This "4in1-game"-style was really great especially the changes in personallity of marcus. an absolute 5/5
I would like to see something like "complete all 4 endings to open the path to a final 5th ending in which all other endings have an effect"
that would have been a 6+/5
Thanks :) A 5th ending would be nice, but the game engine doesn't allow for that - you can always start a new game and the game has no way of keeping track which endings you've already achieved. It might be doable with a plugin, but I still don't know how all the other endings would have an effect since they're contradictory to each other...
