Gameplay / Re: Anyone beaten the fighting section in Secret Cave Tunnel?

I (somehow) managed to "beat" the nightmare on my first play through. Can't remember if I killed everything or not.
Basically just keep moving, launch yourself off walls for extra speed, spam that fire key like mad and use the charged volley in open spaces. (Also, if you don't already know, there is a way to fire up to six charged energy bolts at a time.) Oh, and one more thing: you can stick to the big slow critters that fire the beams.

Then the FIRST form I get is that energy form. Every form after that is weak by comparison.

Heh. I recommend experimenting with beast form... cough-eatamoneyenest-cough.
(Also, I assume you aren't counting dual form?)

General / Yet another thread of generic praise

Hullo bit-blot folks.

I just recently purchased and played through Aquaria (on the mac) and...  yeah... wow. "Excellent" just doesn't cover it. I've always enjoyed games that provide a large world with lots of little nooks and crannies to explore. The recipe system and collectibles were the icing on the cake. It was also nice to see things like Ekkrit and the turtle god and other creatures that you don't have to kill or 'use' but who are just there doing their own thing.

While I do have a couple of gripes with the game, they shrink to insignificance with the overall effect which amounted to complete and unadulterated awesome. Oh, and all else aside, the game looked bloody superb.

So... umm... good job!
