Gameplay / Re: Not Buying and Here's Why

I don't know, why didn't someone mentioned it already,
but if you need to travel fast in Aquaria,  just drink any soup with speed boost and then you can swim throught two  maps in 30 seconds.
*spoiler* When you get beast form, it is even faster.*spoiler*

I think fish form is faster than beast form. But agreed, travelling is quite fast if you do it right.

Conclusion  :
I think, that for a player, who play games for quite a long time, It is not boring and not difficult and it has exactly these game elements, that hook us to play it (collecting ingrediens, boss  fights, upgradeable home!, costumes!, places, which you can't visit right now, but after getting the right form (CSOTN bat,double jump),.... companions,....)

I'd sign that...

... and what it boils down to is that I get no sense of accomplishment from games. None. Zero. Doesn't matter which game. It's just not real enough.

Sorry to interrupt, but that's not what games are supposed to do. If you got that wrong, no offense, you seriously should think about shutting down your computer and try to achieve "accomplishment" in real life before it's too late.

I mean the landscape you see right after the bit blog logo. I'm sure I've played a game (don't recall which one) where certain details in the menu/intro influenced the gameplay. Could be the same in Aquaria.

So what's the deal? Why is it always a random screen with:

a. Windmills
b. Birds
c. Dragon

Does this effect gameplay? Is it just to confuse people? Anyone got a clue?

Next game we make is going to be like this:


Press any key to win.


That way everyone will be happy.

P.S. Mouse Input not supported.

No, I want to win after I double clicked the *.exe file!

I found two more red bulbs. They are in a singing plant after a fish tunnel behind the fish with the worm in it who drops the buttery sealoaf.

May I ask you to specify the location? I'm desperately looking for those Red Bulbs. Thanks.
