Even the Treasure-collecting adds to that feeling. I like the idea that she's so fascinated by her new world that she's constantly grabbing souvenirs to take home (it's also funny to imagine her and Li dragging these huge piles of helmets, statues, plants, dresses and other bric-a-brac aaaaalll the way back to her house. "Seriously, Naija? I love you and all, but do you really need this huge stone statue of a guy with a horse's head?" "Yes, I do. It goes perfect with my little jellyfish-attracting lamppost and that plant that makes pretty color-changing bubbles. And what's a horse?" ).I never thought of that, but it's so true. And funny. I guess it makes Naija more feminine, I think most men with girlfriends recognize that 'uhhh a pretty thing! I have to put it somewhere in my house' mentallity.
So I guess I like the caracter Naija as well. Shes very fragile on the outside, but so very strong and independent too.
I think its safe to assume she has magic flesh (AKA human flesh but it doesn't get all wrinkly).
Yaaeh. But man it's hard. Not enough places to save game.... Or maybe it's just because I haven't played Aquaria in more than a year.
I had a real hard time winning the last battle and I got really stressed by playing it. But I did it! 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. 
But hey now I at least have two pets and a whole lot of treasures. I am currently getting my butt kicked by the big jelly-boss..... But it nags me somehow that Li is still trapped. Oh well I'll save him when I'm ready.
Gotta explore some more before the end! Anyhow I know the rules are very diffenrent in various contries, but Aquaria is a game that have a sometimes sinister feeling to it so I wouldn't recommend it to kids under the age of 10. Unless they have a parent to explain and guide. Besides the gloominess I also think it's a hard game to beat and I doubt most kids will have the patience to fight the bosses (mini and the real ones) over and over again. Plus the whole deal about exploring places and then go back with a new form to re-explore takes a lot of patience and well.... stamina. Even I sometimes wish it could be a little faster. And then not really....
