I too got the humble indie bundle, which has tons of amazing games (except sadly, Atom Zombie Smasher doesn't work with my video card so I haven't been able to try that), but by far this is my favorite. Just like you Scott, this is the perfect game for me.<br /><br />I have had lots of fun going back through my NES catalogue via roms, and the addition of freezes has made them now playable. The use of checkpoints in this game was exceptional; not only did they make hard puzzles doable, checkpoints became an aesthetic in the game, like the level where there are about a dozen checkpoints in a row that serve no other purpose than to make cool noises as you run through them back and forth (which everyone did, right?). They were even used as obstacles (farther down)!<br /><br />I decided early on that I wouldn't try to capture every single trinket, but just go through the game and see how it went, but each time I saw one I just thought "Oh, I know how to get that..." Even though it took me twenty minutes, I especially enjoyed Veni, Vidi, Vici. Not since the original Battletoads hover-cycle level did I laugh out loud at what a game was asking me to accomplish. <br /><br />This game got me so addicted that after a week of on and off playing I had 19 trinkets, but I did get stuck and finally had to look up how to do "Prize for the Reckless." If you haven't gotten there, here's a quick hint: Checkpoints. <br /><br />Watch out for the spikes, take it easy man!Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941526348182802649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967694277763110629.post-17461228693812075852011-08-17T06:15:43.848-07:002011-08-17T06:15:43.848-07:00I got the game in the humble bundle pack and fell ...I got the game in the humble bundle pack and fell in love with it. I have the same passion for it as I do Super Meat Boy. The thing is each level is so short but to actually master each room can take awhile. It took me a 30 minutes to beat one room but I still was so into it. I guess simplicity goes as long way with game design.
