1.6.2 is live! This fixes the black screen crash. I've also added a new error catching screen in case this happens again. If you see it, please screenshot it and send me a bug report! (Be sure to add what you were doing at the time, too.)
Next version will be done by tomorrow, and will include some more bug fixes (all minor, non-game-crashy sorts) and re-tune some of the game play mechanics. In particular, the boss fight is too hard!

Brilliant. I wish there were more designers who actually care about video games as an art form like you do. The story was interesting, and I liked the atmosphere of slowly accumulating memories. I also liked how you explained how most of the powers worked, though I'm disappointed there's no explanation for double jumping. Ah well. The music was quite nice, though surprisingly fast-paced and upbeat in places. Suggestion: Record text from memories in case you want to see them? Perhaps in an additional sub-menu on the main menu. It would be also nice to have an easier way to backtrack at the point right before the final boss; it probably took me at least half and hour trying to get through the lava gauntlet backwards.

Please let me jump and shoot at the same time!
And to the one crying about getting stuck - that is impossible. All you need to do is teleport back to start, you can't get stuck. :)

Also, Still a great game and a great story about 5 years later. Still love to go back and play it though. Would rate 20/5. Would rate 6/5 for music alone.

A few comments. 1) I really enjoyed the little secret areas hidden throughout the game telling a little bit about the game. (P.S. I think you ARE from the future). 2) I found a neat little skip that would probably be used for speed running this game (unless you need upgraded spikes for something other than getting the running ability that I'm forgetting). You need double jump and wings. Go to the statue at Serve No More and stand on the left side of the base. Double jump up moving left and fly. You should see a wall with three or so spikes on it and one of the spikes is covering a small landing that you can hit. If you keep holding up after taking damage from the top most spike on that wall you can land on the ledge that was covered by the spike using your i-frames. After that simply jump up to the platform above you and collect your free running ability.

for all of u complaining about the controls, u can change them. when ur on the main screen, click the little wrench thing that says "click here to change settings" and choose whatever controls u want. Like to keep this alive and so people stop complaining!

really interesting game. I forgot that a game like this existed since it's been so long since i last played one. But I must say, it's great to get back into them again. I love the concept, the visuals, and even the music. You've done yourself an excellent job there.

I've loved the fun facts, especially "the creator of the game is not a robot sent back from the future to kill Sarah Connor"

For all the noobs,who say "Kalevala is a finnish city,which has nothing to do with this SHIT":
Yes,but the game plays on a planet,which was found by a finnish explorer,OK!?
Play before yu complain about things you dont know!
By the way,cool game!

I love how this platformer actually addressed the fact that the islands are just floating in midair. Even if all they said was "a form of anti-gravity stone", it's still a way better explanation than Mario ever gives for his floating crap.

Nevermind, I figured it out. There is an upgrade for the quills, but the glyph at the walls was the red one, and not yellow like the upgraded quill. That could possibly be confusing.

YAY! 1.6.5 is now up. You asked, I listened! The final boss fight is easier, revive posts now heal you (though there are now less of them!), and there's a brand new visual map! I've also fixed lots of bugs.

Beating the boss cheat sheet: The boss will fire off a round of lasers, then 3 arrows that follow you, then a bomb. You must get under the bomb and jump up and hit it, that will knock it back into the boss, which will knock the boss down to the ground, allowing you to fire a quill at it to harm it. Do this 4 more times, and the boss will be defeated. Plus if you like this.

Non-humanoid protagonist - You don't get to see this much, but it's really refreshing when you do. This title really recreates a lovely retro feel in its artwork and gameplay 5/5

I came back here only to find that after nearly 9 years, the developer is finally updating this game, I had hopes, and I glad I stuck with it.

Keeping this comment from Apsy alive: For the 4songs : - 1 Near the start (you need to activate a switch in right side of the same area) - 2 Near the place where you get the wing, you need to destroy a wall with the upgraded spikes - 3 Under the big ancestor statue, still by using the upgraded spikes against the small wall. - 4 After passing the door by activating the 3 crystals, jump into the first pit, then on the left side we can see the entrance for the last song

Spelling error: "I landed on his planet." I think you meant "this." I believe this was the memory snippet when he found his capsule above where the game started. (this was the only spelling error I found, good job!)

I think one of my favorite things about this game is the different key options. I absolutely HATE when I play a game like this and I only have the option they set forth. I've been using WSAD + Enter and it's amazing. Great game! :D
Ps - "purple metallic pterodactylgreyhound mix" made me lmao. xD

Great game, but there were a few annoyances. The game automatically pauses when focus is lost, which is fine, but doesn't unpause when focus is returned, which is particularly silly while in a mouse-driven menu. Unexpected easter eggs can be accidentally dismissed with no way to see them again. The trophy descriptions in the Ancestor Records are incomplete, with no way to review the text you see when you initially receive one (and which usually explains why you've received it). Finally, I found the game intermittently hiccupped, pausing for a second or two. The more entities (like projectiles) that were being created and destroyed, the more frequently it hiccupped. The strange thing is that this seems to have no correlation with either memory or CPU use; the game just takes a break.

There are some slight annoyances, but overall I still give this 5/5. The music is wonderful and truly represents the setting and emotion of the game, and the plot is absolutely brilliant. This is one of the few Kongregate games I really want to see more of.

hmm no badge, I guess having my spaceship blown up and my both snatched by an alien dragon-fly dog, while releasing a vengeful scourge upon the universe wasn't the good ending. I guess "good" ending is subjective.
