One thing I would've loved to see...a "boss rush" mode.
« on: January 11, 2009, 05:28:21 pm »
All songs, a few foods, and the bosses presented in semi-random order for you to fight your way through. And if you make it through, the game would record your time to give you something to beat! Alternatively, it could score you based on both time and how much health and food you have left at the end.

If this already exists as a mod, I'd love to see it. I haven't really messed with the editor yet, so I don't know how easy it would be to make something like this. If worse comes to worse and I can't handle doing this I may just take the lazy way out and get a bunch of save files before bosses so I can pretend I'm playing boss rush.  :P

Anyway, it's just an idea that popped into my head when I realized I wanted to replay some of the bosses but had no means other than to start a new game.

Perhaps you could keep it in mind for Aquaria 2 if it ever comes out.  :)

That idea has been floating around for a while, and can be accomplished with a little bit of scripting help, and some level design. But it's definitely doable with the tools that we are already given.

It's a good idea, but only if they leave out SS :o

This is the closest to that that anyone has done; only energy form, though, and more small enemy crowds than bosses.  But it's quite a nice mod.

Also, Simon Says would be infinitely easier if someone could make it such that the song notes were mapped to the numpad 1 through 9 keys (without 5).  If there weren't the top row number hotkeys, that would make a lot of things easier, but since there are, it would really only be handy for Simon and a few other things.

For a real challenge, have Simon Says in the center of the level with all the other bosses surrounding you. The objective is to beat SS without being killed by the other bosses.  ;D

If you plan to have bosses that chase you and can't be killed, it's downright impossible...

I said it was a challenge, albeit the hardest challenge possible. xD

It's fine - I was aiming to provoke a reaction, ideally the indignation that Danger Mouse expressed.  ;D

Or it was noticed ... and wisely ignored.  ;) Consider your chain pulled.

Okay, okay - I won't try to come up with a witty comeback to that.  :) It gets old very fast ...
