YES

This was a good investment. Keep going at this pace and ten dollars plus assorted MYSTERY GOODS are as good as yours.

You'll want to PM me your address, probably.

I lol'd.

...at "I'm working under the assumption that this game will be made tolerable by the Pyoko Crew."

Also, at immediately identifying Kazz's area.

FUN FACT: If you drop below that red line before writing down the password, there's absolutely no way to go back and get it, leaving you pretty much fucked unless you want to sit there and try every combination.

:tldr: Kazz's area sucks a righteous D.

Yeah, I figured out how to fix that, but Frocto's playing on an old version of the level and of Knytt Stories where that shouldn't be an issue.

Watching this was easily the most satisfying and gratifying experience of my adult life.

The experiment was to see if I could successfully model "frustration" as a game mechanic.  IE, seeing that you couldn't make the jump to the right the first time you get to the blue blocks at the extreme left end and running back to see what the fuck you missed.  You either find the password or the way down into the blue level that way.

The green blocks bit was me being fucking vile.  Zara didn't speak to me for a long time after I gave him that.

Another fun fact: The original version of this level included a different jump back into the main part of the game.  If you missed that jump, you were teleported into an inescapable box with the message "Thanks for playing!"  Also, your save was overwritten, so that "Revert to last save" put you right back in the box.

That's amazing. I'm glad it's not in the game, but it's great to know that it was, at one point.

Hey Frocto, you know if you press down while you're clinging to a wall it lets you slide down faster?  You're, uh, really supposed to know that to get past the last little bit of the plant area.

That said, pretty nice job getting through without it.  :perfect:

Also I guess you didn't notice the KnynjaCorp door opening as you were storming off.

Yeeeeeeah let me save you some time and tell you some other stuff they forget to mention in the tutorial.

* Those buttons with the dots below them?  They're timers.  Keep standing on them.
* Press down to activate levers.
* The lights and the sharp glass kill you.  That's not Knytt Stories, though, that's just me being a dick.

I tested the fucking hell out of my level but I didn't really count on people who weren't already familiar with the game playing the thing.  :nyoro~n:

I've already beat your area. Watch up to episode 13.

Also there are some rather humourous results of me not noticing things. :)

I was going to tell you this on aim, but here is fine: thanks for a really awesome area. It was just the right amount of challenging to be fun rather than cunty.

Hurr I didn't notice those existed, I'd say that makes us even except of course I wasn't horribly tortured for my ignorance.

I've had fun listening along. It makes me wish that I would have spent more time on my zone, turning it into a hair-trigger challenge rather than focusing on atmosphere that would be cursed at and blazed through.

Well, IWBTG was so hot off the presses that many of us were still playing it at the time.  It is nice to have some stuff in there that wasn't a conscious take on it (in my defense, I'm terrible at atmosphere and Knytt Stories only lends itself to a certain number of game types).

I would have genuinely enjoyed Kazz's puzzle sequence if it had made any attempt to be fair.  I don't think there are any others in the Knorpse.
