SPOILERS Most Effective Strategies: Against Bosses, With the Forms, and Swimming

[Chibi]

I haven't found any benefit save that of the childish pleasure I gain and how amazing it looks in slow motion (when you first enter the open air in the Veil) To fully enjoy Aquaria, you have to indulge the tattered remnants of your childhood, relax, and feel free to spend 3 hours playing around with stunts (*whistles innocently*)

BTW, I just noticed a really funny glitch with the Beast Form. If you hold down the R key (for revolve) and whatever button you use to swim (w or the left mouse button), Naija spins head over heels while staying completely straight: her feet and head move around over an invisible pin in her torso. It's hilarious to watch: I'll try to get a video in an edit of this post ... stay tuned!

I haven't tried that but I very seldom use the keys, I prefer the mouse except when trying to get in the right position for killing those jack-in-the-boxes/weeds

Also, that maneuver is not exclusive to beast form.  You can do it in any form you like it's just a matter of holding R to spin and moving with the mouse.

While I was messing around with changing forms in midair, I found yet another glitch. If you boost out of the water in any form besides dual form, change  to Dual Form, then change back in midair, Li is stuck hovering above the water. He only stays there if you don't re-enter the water. It's the only way to get him to breathe air again (that I know of). 

Good luck, Glitch/Bug/Insert noun here Finders!

I tried this move last night and she tucks in for me? What's wrong do I have the only version that is free of the more normal glitches?

[Glamador]

Nah, it's kind of tricky.  Just mess around with different orders of keystrokes and mouse movements.  Move then hold R, hold R then move, start spinning with the mouse then hold R then move, that sort of thing.  You'll notice it for sure when it happens.

As for me...I need to try that glitch to get Li above the water!

Just a piece of news...
FINISHED AQUARIA WOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTT

 

Alec, Derek, Jenna, you guys have made the best game I've every played. It's just sad it's over (wipes tear)

Thank you.

p.s. This picture I got off of Google before I even knew who you (Derek) or Aquaria was 



 

[Glamador]

I can't tell, is the cat giant or the boat small?  I suppose it's a matter of perspective really...

[silverflagon]

Congratulations Chibi, now when are you going to go through it again? lol I am already thinking of playing it a third time

[Chibi]

I'm going to wait until version 1.1 comes, then play it a second time. Afterwards, I might try to beat all the mods (after I fix the strange problem I have with the mods  ) I can't wait! 

[silverflagon]

I think that is what I will wait for also.... Unless I get bored  waiting lol
