crossover_chickGot Alice to play as God (or American McGee) intended and continued my jaunt through the Mysterious East.
-->Left behind ze Door of Revelations and kept on finding new stuff. Dealt with more wasps, of both the Ink and Daimyo variety. Bastards were wailing on some innocent Origami Ants. :(
-->Another DDR-style puzzle for some bells -- aced it. :)
-->More stuff collected, more enemies faced, and -- another blue mushroom?
-->GAH MORE SLIDES! Two in one level?! Fortunately I AM getting better at these, particularly the part where I fall off and make use of Alice's float to skip sliding into crap. And after not too many tries, I made it to the bottom! Where I promptly fell off and had to make it back down again. X(
-->Made it eventually, dealt with more pressure pad funtimes. There's little waterfalls of Ruin popping up now -- and I notice they seem to be leaking from what appears to be pink tentacles. . . .
-->Make my way over to an area where the floor is mostly Ruin, fuuun. Deal with the enemies, find my way across the invisible platform, more pressure pad shenanigans. . .you know the drill. Though I had to retrace a few of my steps after spotting a keyhole door I'd missed before.
-->Made it up to another temple, fought one Wasp, spotted another -- who promptly vanished. O.o This did not break the game, happily -- I was able to slip through into the next area no problem.
-->Old Origami Ant asked for some help clearing a path, Alice was happy to give it. Time to kill some Ruin!
-->I LIKE the Origami Ants. Sure, they think Caterpillar is the best thing since sliced bread for some insane reason, but they're so polite, and they THANK Alice! Imagine that!
-->More bottles collected, bouncy mushrooms used to head up and up and --
-->Oh, joy, another room filled with Ruin! Including our old friends the Drifting Ruin. Okay, let's start killing these bastards. . . .
-->. . .Um, what the hell, I thought I -- oh SHIT, they're respawning. Now what do I do?
-->Answer: Die. A lot. I eventually started ignoring the floaty bastards and just started racing for the pullchain to get the jets of steam started. This didn't work much either. I actually started using Hysteria, not to fight them, but to just be invulnerable for five seconds!
-->Finally get up to the highest point of steam, near death, heartbeat pounding, and -- keyhole door?! Well, we'll try it, maybe it'll have breakables.
Nope, just a Bumby memory. *growl*
-->Go out, fully expecting to die and have to do all this shit ALL OVER and -- they're gone? where -- FINE BY ME! Head up, get another ant out, do the bouncing mushroom thing again (pausing to shoot a snout), and --
-->NO NO NO ANOTHER BLUE MUSHROOM I AM IN NO SHAPE TO HANDLE A SLIDE, WHY WHY
-->Oh THANK GOD it's just the little guys praying at a temple. And hey, I recognize this shot from one of the trailers!
-->Jump around on fans, shoot another snout (not entirely sure what this one does), make my way over to solid land, collect the collectables, avoid more death. . .
-->End in front of a cave, and see what looks like Caterpillar. As the autosave symbol comes on, though, I see it's actually just a pile of jade. So I quit there.
Perhaps not as "wow" as my first session, but hey, progress is progress. Hopefully soon we'll meet up with Caterpillar and give him a piece of our mind.
