I've been playing too much Pokemon... the first thing I saw on meeting the main character was: "Oh, it's an Umbreon!"

This game is absolutely STUPENDOUS. The story is engrossing, the game itself is very smooth, and it brings back a lot of Nostalgia...thank you very much sir for making this game

One of the best platformers i've played. The story was so gripping, and you get an amazing feeling when you have many powers. 5/5

Awesome game!!!! I would suggest that the recover pillars only give you a checkpoint if you press up. This way you can have a checkpoint at one end of the world, and not have to run all the way back if you forget to do something....like....I did....and if a checkpoint is active, then you don't need to press up to get health. Basically just reverse the roles of giving you health and check-pointing....if that makes sense...

Wow...seriously, may be one of the best games on Kong. The graphics, the sound and music, the story, the controls, the overall gameplay, actually having to explore, and figure out what you need to go where, or how to get past an area or defeat an enemy; not to mention all the care and effort and time ChainedLupine has clearly put into it (finding the fun facts was one of the coolest parts...I found three, is that all of them?). Everything about this game is just awesome. 10/5

I've played all of 10 seconds and already had numerous flashbacks to my younger years sitting in front of a crappy tv with a rectangular controller or sometimes that little black joystick. I have to say that this game is definitely going on my favorites if not for gameplay then for the feeling of nostalgia I get when I even hear it. Thank you for this.

This is the kind of game that draws me to Kongregate. The lack of inspiration that seems to plague the big studios is something that you can find among independent games. The game is fun to play and has a heartfelt storyline. Pleaseeee...make more games around Kalevala.

I'm stuck - in the last room with this statue, which should start emitting light - "interact" in this place doesn't work - what happened? i can't escape now from this place and can't add the gems in their place..?

My only complaint is that it's impossibly hard to shoot enemies, because the quills go so far forward and you can't shoot while you jump.
4/5 for that, otherwise it's absolutely perfect :D

Oh really? Fuuuuuuuuuu it did reset EVERYTHING... time to restart for the badges, im not getting mad because this game is real fun AND MORE THAN WORTH TO DO IT JUST ONCE!

About the waypoint system: I'm receiving a lot of bug reports that the ping command isn't working properly. It does work properly -- But only if you follow the order of waypoints that the ping command gives you *exactly*. If you deviate and grab something earlier than you are meant to, then it will lead you to places you've already visited or possibly can't get to. I probably won't change how it behaves because the waypoint system is meant as a guide to new players. If you've figured out how to get to something earlier than you are supposed to, then congrats! Now you're on your own. :)

There is a fairly major glitch where if you hit a yellow barrier with your spikes twice it moves with your screen and the barrier disappears

Oh and to clarify, I did not make this game in 48 hours. But this game is based on the code for a game I *did* make in 48 hours. That's much simpler. :)

Love the game, only changes I'd suggest is giving the ability to change some of the controls and allow for shooting while running and jumping. Now I've got to go and see if I can find the other endings. o.o

For those who, like me, got to the last level before getting all four gems - if you hit escape, there's an option to "Teleport to Beginning" - it'll get you back out of the temple and give you a chance to complete anything you might have missed.

"It's like finding a world filled of xenophobic janitors who go into a psychotic rage when strangers approach... It doesn't make sense" 4 years later: Yep, that makes a lotta sense now

I adore these types of games, and love finding everything. I've played many, so I know what makes a good one, and this has it pretty much spot on :]
Was a little annoyed that I couldn't 'shoot' whilst in mid-air, but it adds to the game. It would be too easy otherwise. 5/5 definitely.

By the way, for anyone complaining about the controls, these are very common controls for things like RPGs. Usually X or C is the action button while Z or X is back, and the arrows to move around. I didn't notice a problem with them here.

As an aside, if you're getting the black screen when you reload a game, then the fix will repair that too. So it's not necessary to start the game over if you are willing to wait a few hours for me to fix the bug and post the update!

please include a save option without the need to go back to main menu, seems a bit ridiculous to me. I know it's retro and all, but this is a bit overboard.

I like how the creator left all these little "fun facts" around, with extra information about the game. Great game, 5/5

After getting best ending, am I only one who happen to ask: after planetary shield activation, what happened to Kuriiri and human. Were they left for rest of their lifes at hostile planet, unable to leave due to planetary shield?

Nice game, but in future updates shooting during jumps and alternate or mappable controls (up to jump, for instance) would really make the gameplay more intuitive.

For those who are stuck on the flying ship boss,hit him with the bomb and when he drops hit him with ur quails

A wonderful little gem of a game here, wish the expansion was out since it has been about 3.5 years, hopefully you, the creator of this, just forgot, and that nothing bad has happened to you, would have loved to see more of the Kuriirit in a prequel or maybe sequel, but, who knows, still, quite fun, sure a few annoyances, but, so far my most favorite side-scroller to date.
