Alice: Finding New Ways To Irritate Me

crossover_chickThere's not much in the way of "oooh cool scenery" notes this time:
-->The temple of the bells is located right behind that statue of Caterpillar, which makes sense
-->I've noticed the head pillars have faces with four eyes, and that the pattern on one of the boxes you use to navigate Ruin lakes is flower-petal butterflies
-->Still love the jade carvings in that little cave past Trunk and the fans
But there are a fair number of "THIS GAME" notes:
-->Samurai Ink Wasps are WORSE than Bolterflies. I swear they multiply quicker, their nests are harder to destroy, and they basically made my life hell while I was trying to fight that Daimyo on the way to the next slide
-->Speaking of which: I GOT STUCK ON SAID SLIDE. I tried to jump over a bit of Ruin, only to land Alice on the very edge of the slide where it hits a rock ring. Where she proceeded to remain, still making the sliding noise, stuck beyond my attempts to free her. I had to go back to the last checkpoint and redo the entire thing. X.X
-->Oh, that one bit with the endlessly-respawning Ruins. I still fucking hate that part. If you get hit by one blast, you're going to get hit by three more at least. AND I couldn't quite get Alice up and over the edge of one of the platforms, so she kept falling down into a danger zone! >.< Aaaargh!
-->Speaking of which, plenty of "somehow I've double jumped already although all I did was step off the platform" this time around. That glitch makes you redo so many already-annoying climbs. . .
-->Minor irritant -- having to redo the musical game a few times. But that was just my own crappy button-pushing. Hmph.
Still, I got Alice past all that crap, did another Radula Room, and have currently parked her in front of the second Shadow Scroll. I'm thinking I can probably get her through the Mysterious East in the next couple of days. Then it's off to Queensland.
Or, rather -- it's off to Cardbridge. :D :D :D
All right, time to do some final online catch-up things, and then maybe have a look through "Card Castles In The Sky," since I've rewritten a chunk of it and want to make sure it'll be ready to post tomorrow.
