    Was totally going to ignore this because all I saw on the steam store was some weird game with a little girl and NICE TRY INTERNET seeing the quicklook and how the game works- using the environment hazards to aid in killing/and raise score makes it feel like a lot more than a jump game a la meatboy- more like dustforce (which I am horrible at) but I like to THINK im capable of playing games where the focus is on perfecting execution- like Shinobi for PS2- man, that was a great game too.

    I like how ghostly versions of your corpse litter the level as you die and retry

    I picked this up after the quick look also and am really enjoying it. Granted I am a sucker for all these pixelated 2D sidscrollers.

    It looks like a good entry in the genre, I'm just not sure I want to play more of that right now :/

    @Rmack: Yeah- don't wanna force it- best to pick things up when you're open to giving them a shot.

    If I hadn't played so much Dustforce I'd be totally open to this right now, which is why I'm so torn up inside! Going on the wishlist; hopefully Steam has some Fall/Memorial Day sale thing.

    I'm normally not big on these things, but something struck my fancy about this one so I've just bought it, downloading it right now. Hope I like it.

    I just bought it on a whim after watching the quick look as well. About to open it up.

    You're the only one in this thread that has obtained rare achievements for this game (except for  
    myself) & everyone else in the thread either stopped at Chapter 2 or never installed the game. 
    LOL. I was just checking to see if anyone on GB actually played this game & it looks pretty  
    barren.  Although I've played a shit-ton of it now & near the end of it. 
     
    What's funny is that I even watched a few different people's YouTube playthroughs & two  
    of them gave up after chapter 2 or around chapter 3.  They wouldn't do the videos for TBP  
    anymore.  It was pretty comical how people gave up so quick on this game.  The YouTubers 
    probably should have looked at another guy's YouTube that went through the whole thing. 
    It helps on the rough spots & keep the frustration levels in check.

    I ended up giving up in frustration on The End, not because it was too difficult (though it was very difficult), but because when I was about 80% through the level, the game crashed and wanted me to start over. This was like almost two hours of very difficult progress lost. It's a really good game though, I might have to get back into it at some point.

    Starting over isn't that tough really.  On one mission when I got frustrated, I accidentally 
    clicked "Restart Level" instead of Save & Exit.  It didn't bother me to go back & practice 
    to get back to where I was.  It's all frame of mind.  At least it wasn't N+, some of the  
    episodes in that game are fukn impossible.

    It wasn't so much the difficulty of starting over, more of me getting ticked off at the game for it, and not wanting to do it again. Then putting it off so long I've gotten rusty at the game, and would have to struggle through it to complete it. I'll go back and finish The End eventually, I'm just not sure when. I played enough of TBP to know it's one of my favorite indie games of the year.
