I'm walking on sunshiiiiine. :cool:
Just beat it, with 1 life to spare!
Defenitely feels a bit tighter than the first version. Not bad!

Really man. Those guys in the trams who throw rocks at you are just no fun to fight at all. Gave up at that point. Pretty sure I've said this before but don't be afraid to bastardize this game by taking out the terrible bits.

Too fast with the rocks? Oh and don't worry I've been bastardizing it all over the place :). It's in the getting people to try out each new version that really helps with the fine tuning.
[edit]
Slowed down the Red Troll bosses attack speed. Hope that helps. Edited above post with altered version.

More that it's really hard to hit them(needing to throw the knife during the exact right moment in the jump) and they have a huge amount of hitpoints. That combined with the fact that you can only really (AFAIK) throw one knife into them during their attack-sequence without getting hit yourself(right at the start, and then duck while they attack), means that killing even one of those guys takes looooong as hell.

I did make some changes to the way that shooting works whilst jumping which should help with that. Plus with the speed of the trolls attack slowed that should help also.

You know, the Bloodlines Path thread got me thinking, you should make two game modes: the "true to the original" one and the "tweaked one" with all sorts of bastardizations to make the game (subjectively) better.

Not bad idea. I don't know if ice has the free-time to do this or not, but it would be kinda cool.

I was already considering something along those lines. I was thinking of having different difficulty levels. Easy, Normal and NES Insane level. The first 2 would have the alterations + lesser damage from enemies and obstacles, whilst the insane level would have everything as it was in the NES version with the insta kills etc. So only for the truly hardcore on the 3rd one.
