I just got a height of 55,482... that's right... a HEIGHT. It just happened to work out. My guy was only level 8 and i shot directly sideways. I hit a berzerker guy. and got a power smash on the return to the ground. then when i came down again, it hit directly into a cannon, and THEN while IN the cannon, a mech targeted me and shot me, so the cannon wash shaking with all the power. I was able to shoot it directly upwards with no sideways momentum.
It was freaking brilliant.. and lucky
This game has HUGE potential. If there were flags to collect and return to the base which would unlock new paths or power-ups (which led to new paths) that would be COOL.
Another option is to make it so once you reach a certain point and return, you get a longer timer.
The only complaint of mine is that it's too difficult to get past that first button. I almost gave up thinking it was a crappy game where all you do is push that first button. Once you figure out the trick though, the ACTUAL game is much cooler.
I had that problem with the 7th boss too. You need to collect the Spade of Unfortunateness and use the UpUpDownDownLeftRightLeftRight Breastplate of LeftRighteousness. When you beat him, make sure to check the lining of his lower intestine to find a secret treat!
Secret to 1-3 is to commit suicide after collecting the acorns and before getting the key
Kill your character on the right side of the key so when your 2nd character gets it you can land on the corpse and jump to the end.
Much easier and less time wasted than sailing the corpse across.
i'm surprised this is still rated so high.. the lag KILLS the enjoyment.... LOVed the original but can't wait for this to be fixed.. THEN it will be 5/5.. until then 2/5.
So.. if anyone is having trouble getting Butterfingers or Minimalist guitars...
Minimalist: Play through a song w/o hitting any keys.
Butterfingers: Make more than 1000 mistakes on a song. (Mash the keyboard!)
Well... i beat it perfect, which took a bit on that last level! lol.. and opened the "JustMadeSoYouDontFeelThereIsNothingMore" setting. too bad it doesnt' record who beat the levels or times on kongregate...
