When there will be a game continuation?

Somebody? Something? Heard was  about date of an exit of the new version of game?

No new game will be made, but there are several mods being made (sequels and prequels made by players, not Alec or Derek).

Large, Sequel or Prequel Mods (Not finished yet, but will be in a few months).

-Aquaria - Sacrifice Mod

-Aquaria: Lost Treasures Mod

Small, Arcade Mods (Finished)

- Jukebox Mod: Allows you to listen to all of Aquaria's music.

- Big Energy-Form Battle Mod: A difficult battle with the Energy Form against all the enemies of Aquaria.

Hope you find something you like!  ;)

Hello, just wondering if there's any suggestions/strategies for getting through "the gauntlet" in the Body, as I've seen it being called (the long twisty tunnel before the final boss)... Is the best way simply to stay in dual form and kill everything? I've tried a number of times but the amount of enemies and the spinning fireball-shooters overwhelm me before I get even halfway through.  :-\

I'd appreciate any advice; I'm hating the Body... It's very frightening.
But the rest of the game is wonderful, of course. <3 Glad I bought it.

The trick with dual form is to scream.

Kill 3 things using dual-form-Li to charge up the shout (you will hear a soft scream sound to indicate you are charged up), press R to change to dual-form-Naija then move in the middle of a large group of tough to kill enemies, and scream. Now all those enemies will all shatter.
The enemies are more or less placed such that a small bunch of relatively easy enemies alternate a more difficult pack, so  it will go a lot easier once you get the hang of it. This will get rid of enemies much faster than energy shooting them to death.

Those fireball shooting smiley sun thingies require 2 screams each to kill. Its is easier to just avoid being hit and ignore them.
Also, they are a great source of health! If you use spirit form, you can absorb 5 missiles for 1 HP of health. If you hit spirit form at the right moment, just after they shoot a new set of fire balls, you can absorb almost all of them in one move. In addition to healing you, the absorbed fire balls will also be gone and not hit you anymore.

The jelly armor will heal you if you are below 50% health, but only in song form. (normal form) The horrors (crab like beings that hang from the ceiling) can be dealt with by using song form and shield, then position yourself such that their projectiles get bounced back to them. Its somewhat slow, but requires little effort, just keep shield up, and it allows the jelly armor to do its thing at the same time.

Thank you, SevenMass!
I'll give it another go  :) I was using the scream but a lot of the time it was hard for me to shoot the blue nautilus's (nautili?) while dodging them in Li-form, since they come at you pretty quickly.

One thing I didn't ever quite get is absorbing shots while in spirit form... Do you just pass through enemy shots to absorb them? I faintly remember trying that once and losing health in result (I might be mistaken, though), and since then I haven't really attempted it.
I'd like to find this out since it sounds pretty useful.  ;D

For the crab-things, I actually found it easy enough just to stay in Li-form and shoot them while swimming in a circle to avoid their shots. But your suggestion sounds good too. I'll see which one is better for me.
Gosh, I'll be glad when I get through this part.
Thanks again!

About absorbing shots: you have to right-click close to the projectile, but you'll take damage if you touch it.  :)

Oh, that explains it! Thanks, Chibi :)

Edit: Yes!!! I got through that part!  :D It wasn't so hard this time, probably thanks to your suggestions. That huge mob of nautili near the end was nasty, but two good screams took care of them!
Now for some stocking up... Better than the Body for sure  ^-^
Thanks again!!

Once you have charged up a scream, you no longer need to hit anything, so you can focus all your attention to swimming and avoiding being hit. It's fairly easy to just swim around and gather a group of enemies around you, herding them together, then scream and shatter them all at once.

It may also be a good idea to ignore some of the easy enemies, such as the mutileye, so you can drop back and charge up on them later, if you need to.

Hello everyone~! I'm having trouble earning the beast form in Mithalas. I've just used the lift song to bring a third round stone to the prince's chamber, but I don't know exactly what that accomplished or where to go from here. Any suggestions?

Yes, I actually did try that, but I forgot that I'm an idiot and can't right-click things correctly. Duuuurr I feel dumb.

Thanks though XD

Hi, I have travelled all waters (from grey to white everywhere), find a lot of things/secret areas (2 are missing...needing this damned white ball), have the 8 forms, only 3 pets...and I don't know how to finish the game...

I'm reading here about a Li guy in the Veil...is it possible to miss him ? (the map is so white everywhere, don't want to travel once again all waters ^^)

Somewhere I remember I have discovered a ship...having the same look/symbols as the abyss yellow door...is there a link ?

Thanks in advance for some tips =)

You can't miss/skip Li, afaik, or you will not get Dual Form.

And Li is wearing aqualung and floating in the waters of Veil. When he encounters with Naja he escapiing from her, you need to follow him.

It is possible you somehow missed him, but the first time you get close to him, the game does a short slo-mo effect, just like when you first crossed the veil. So if you explored everywhere, then missing him is a kind of hard to do. Also, if you don't have him yet, the map will point his location out with a red circle.

You can not possibly have 8 forms without Li though. In fact, you can not enter the sunken city without him, and thus not get past the tongue into the body, where you will eventually encounter the end boss.

Unless you are playing the bugged old version, then you should update to the last patch. (1.1.1)
