And how do I get the last health egg? Do I use spirit form to access to secret cave in the Ice Veil from the hanging water bubbles?

No, if you go  over to the east, its possible to jump up to a crystal formation in beast form then jump to a near by bubble that is close to the cave entrance. Probably easier with speed food, but I did it without.

Are we talking about the area abpve the turtle cave where all the hanging water bubbles are? Or are we talking about the east side of the veil above Li's cave?

-Anemone Seed
-<UNKNOWN>
Found: In a tiny cave passageway above the giant anemone that is situated at the top of the room directly west of the save crystal in the Song Cave. Turn into Nature Form to swim past the giant anemone without it hurting you.  Continue swimming upward against the weak current to get to it.

The turtle I haven't figured out, maybe rocks just scare him.

As for the armor, you need a way to increase your speed just barely.

Beast form gives you a fine boost to your charging ability, but you need just a little more.

I knew it involved beast form some how, As I miss that bubble by a hair as I jump up to it. I have many foods that can help with this. Thank You.

Is it sick? Do we need to feed or sing to it?

It would be perfect for Xbox Live Arcade as well. The XNA program is specifically built for indies.

Yup, but Aquaria is played only with the mouse. If the Wii Remote can easily replace it with it's pointer, I guess a Joystick might kill the gameplay since the game wasn't made to be played with it.

The game is built around a Xbox 360 controller as well. I'd like to see this game on XBLA Alec. It's perfect for it.

I'd state the irony of your rebumping it for that comment, but I won't.

He's clearly spamming the board to all hell.

Yes ! Why not a demo version to discover this game which seems so exciting. It depends of the advancement of the game I think.

Hehe, you jst answered your own question.

Alec the IGF Demo. Are you going to make it available public through fileplanet or any other  download service? Or will it even be available to us? I saw you mention it in a nother thread and I got curious to know if you'd make it available before you go to IGF, while you are at IGF or after IGF in between that time & releasing.

In place of textual dialogue that most games rely on we used voice acting to drive the story without interrupting the gameplay.

The game is narrated by Naija, its kinda like you're in her head!

So kinda like a third person feel but a first person perspective?

Hello!
 
I'm Jenna, I'm 24 and come from the south of England. 
Fun Watery Facts: I am the voice of Naija in Aquaria.  I will not eat anything that contains fish as I can't stand the stuff. I used to have couple of goldfish when I was little named Chip (how original), Haylie and.... Billy Goat Gruff.  Anyway they have all gone to the big fish tank in the sky now, but they will live on through Aquaria lol.

It's sad really. <ost goldfish have a life expectancy of around 6 months in glass jail. The bigger the tank the longer it's life.
