Yeah, that makes sense. Typically more of a utility form than a general use form.
Spirit form doesn't really even help you move unless there's a blue crystal nearby. :3

There's an arnassi gauntlet? o.o
The race was a race. A gauntlet is a forced run between two rows of armed, angry people. =^.^=

You know about the other ability I was referring to, though, right? ^.^

Quote from: everyone
spirit form

Well, at least it wasn't a big spoiler. I was fairly sure I'd need a different form to get through vents anyway, the only difference is I now know the name of it.

Another idea I had was, since the game is based around singing, why not have players singing together? Give combat bonuses when two people sing together, and even more if there are three, and so on. The more people there were the harder it would be to sing the same song at the same time - it'd get very hard very quickly, so after you had five or so people you'd be able to bring down a whole screenfull of monsters with a single song.

Umm... sorry, but enchilado, what were you responding to in the first half of your post? :S

That second idea sounds interesting if we had songs that did damage. xD OOH Can we lift up an entire island (or something) with 10+ players all singing the bind song hitting the same notes at the same moment? =^.^=

If you look by the start (where your best time is, after you clear the 1:30 time) it says "Arnassi Gauntlet" in Aquarian. Seems like they're referring to the race.

Dictionaries get wet and tear up in the water, and the one who created everything was a little boy, what do you expect if not a few diction-related errors? ^.–

The race is in fact called the Arnassi Gauntlet, which makes sense because the word gauntlet is understood to mean any kind of challenge (usually a difficult one)

I thought as much... I wasn't really discussing definition so much as just pointing out the title. :)

Fine, I'll admit it, I'm stupid. -_-

Carry on with trampling over me. :/

Wasn't trying to be mean. No trampling or even walking.  :)

I was just trying to hide the fact that I filled in the Aquarian alphabet while I was playing along and started translating things.  :o

There's a lot of fun flavor text floating around in this game...

Fortunately, for lazy people like you and me, the text comes pre-translated - you just have to change the name of two files in the Aquaria directory.
Unfortunately, I don't have Aquaria installed anymore and can't help more than that...

If it helps, I think the filenames were aquarian.png and aquarian_t.png
