I've just finished the game and what a ride! :D I had a real hard time winning the last battle and I got really stressed by playing it. But I did it!
That game is amazing. It's so beautifull and flowing. And hard. :-X Spent almost 22 hours on it. And when I saw the end sequence I felt almost sad that it was over. Trying to forget how frustrated the game has made me in the past... The bosses are so freaking hard and the feeling of being lost most of the time or doing something in the wrong order made me almost hysterical. But now that it's over I want more. That's what makes a game a hit! If people spend hours pulling out hair and still wanting more you've got a hit. 8)
But eh.....can anyone translate the writing on the wall in the end? I mean the real end. Just before I got thrown back to the main menu, ripped out of my underwater calmness.
Anyway just wanted to say thanks to the guys who made the game! I haven't really played this sort of games before, so being a newbie and all I feel overwhelmed by the gameplay and it's possibillities.
I'll now stick to helping out my daugther, who've already beaten Nautilus, Energy temple boss, Mithala and the fish cave almost on her own! She's 12 and I have no doubts she'll beat my time. But then again she has watched me play a lot so she knows some of the strategies and tricks I struggled to discover...
Maybe I'll try to do it all again, but right now I'll rest and enjoy my 'prize'.

yes, the kids in the house do the same thing for me :) right now we're all playing Lego Indiana Jones and whenever someone gets stuck, they wait for me to get to the level, pretend like they arn't watching and then magically figure it out next time they go to play. I know what their racket is but I'm lettin it slide. some of the puzzles on Last Crusade are feaking hard!!
congrats on finishing the game and I fully know what you mean, I think it took a week for me to break down and start playing it all over again.

I think the text just before you get thrown back to the main menu just says "The End". (Notice how the last letter of the first word and first letter of the last word are identical?) I reckon it's still English, but a different font. I bet you can work out what most of the stuff says by looking at the translation done on the main menu for the different options. I also bet some of the cryptic text is actually funny or something! ;)
I'm gonna give that a try right now.

Thanks for the feedback! :)
I think some of the "lost" feeling should be remedied once we get version 1.1.0 out. We still want the player to feel like they're exploring a huge world, but hopefully it should be slightly less intimidating with the changes to the map system.

There's a whole thread about the runes (http://www.bit-blot.com/forum/index.php?topic=226.0) already.

We're all anxiously awaiting version 1.1.0 Alec. I'll play it all again once you get that puppy out there.

Thanks for the answer about the runes. I should have guessed it said 'the end'..... I love those runes btw. They match the game so perfectly with the soft lines and organic layout.
Looking forward to a version 1.1.0!!! :)
