Glad you're all enjoying it! It was enough for me to just clear the bloody thing.

This game should come with a "High salt content" warning on the box.

Well done. Glad you liked it! I just checked the rankings and my Goomba course has made the top 100! This has made me extremely happy. GOTY.

You beat my clear check time already, ha.

I was noodling about last night and ended up making a 20 second speedrun course. It's pretty simple and just focuses on jumping with good timing without any gimmicks, but I put a "Don't touch the ground" clear condition on to make it a bit more tasty. It took me quite a few attempts to clear, but I imagine for the likes of @David Heath, @Darhkwing and @joffocakes it'll be pretty easy. Try it out! Simple Stomp Speedrun [20 secs] (3FT-6HQ-4XG)

Blimey. How did you find DoH without it?

See previous page.

The umbrella in pretty damn indispensable for some of the late game stuff.

You tend to use them more strategically rather than offensively. The shuriken, for example, don't do much damage (at the start of the game, anyway) but you can use them to interrupt enemy attacks and pull down enemies who jump about a lot (which will be very useful with certain enemy types she'll encounter later). You can also learn a combat art early on that allows you to throw one and immediately follow with a homing slice, which is a great opening move that covers lots of ground and deals a decent amount of damage to unaware enemies. The flame vent is useful against mini-bosses who are susceptible to burn and is best used with oil urns. The axe is useful against shielded enemies and for braking posture. The loaded spear is useful against groups, etc. All the prosthetics have their uses, but you'll definitely use some more than others. Technically you could get through the entire game without them, though. It would just be harder.

Woke up this morning to find my Goomba level (almost) in the EU top 100: It might actually have been in the top 100 at some point. Pity that there's nothing to tell you how high your level has been.

Keep sprinting round in a big circle and bait it into walls and then jump in for 2-3 hits on its flank and back, then rinse and repeat. IIRC, its posture will break before it's health. Try not to jump because it always gores you. Has she got the burn healing gourd from the pot noble in Hirata Estate?

Once you figure out that he basically has two moves he's easy. Run round him in a big circle and bait his double swipe, attack, repeat. Cheers. It certainly looks different enough to warrant playing so I'll pick it up at some point.

How does Nioh compare with this? It's been on my list for ages but I've never got round to it. Having completed Sekiro, however, I'm wondering if it'll just pale by comparison.

Cheers @Fatsam. I only thought about those arrows afterwards, ha. It's amazing the obvious things you miss when you're playtesting your own level.

Thanks. Yeah, a few people have commented on those jumps. I think the issue is that in edit mode Mario defaults to being small so you're always testing with him and you forget about how much difference the extra height can make.
