New player, need some notes.
« on: April 18, 2008, 10:23:39 pm »
Hi, I just started playing Aquaria. Well wont surprise you if i say the game seems to be nice. And got kinda surprised by difficulty in the 1st level. So here is the thing: when this kind ghost or something appears and i am transformed into firelady, im totally getting pawned by these little blue things some stuff is shooting, they are incredibly fast and 1-2hit me. Afaidk how critically may be for me not completing this, could you explain me what is this minilvl(or how to call it?) about, is there some good reward, could i repeat it later .. and if its worth by any mean, maybe some note on how to complete this. Or maybe its hard because i got widescreen and cant see them in the moment other players with 4:3 able to detect already ? Any help would be welcome.

Don't worry about it. While it is possible to get through it alive, nothing different happens if you do.

Well, it IS possible if you finished the game before and are really good with shooting...  I haven't managed it, though. :P

It is there to show you that there is more to the game than swimming around, so you won't get bored before the really interesting part begins. ;)

No reason at all besides feeling good and awesome that you cleared it, on my third run through I finally got to the end killing every creature, nothing special happened, when you reach the end the vision just ends.

If you want a simple strategy, lure, run and shoot for the moving creatures and shoot and run for the wall creatures.

I was actually talking about just getting through alive, not killing every creature! The former is not too difficult if you just keep moving. The latter... well, props to you, man. That's got to be tough.

Haha, like I said, it's shoot and run, I must say I DID have luck that some actually spawned some health, and I got out with only a small bit of health left and a blinking red screen.  :D
