Cool, thanks for the impressions. That play time sounds good enough for its asking price.

How does the level actually progress? I don't really understand what you are doing or how it's laid out, because the impressions are like the opposite of what the trailer shows.

A lot of good quality content lately on the eShop. Looking forward to it.
Thank you!
You're welcome but you can really thank me by making sure your next 3ds game takes advantage of spotpass, streetpass, etc. Good luck with Mutant Mudds, if the game is good I hope it sells tons.

No bullshit, ill buy a metroidvania from you guys at any price. A pure, no frills, straight to the point platforming adventure in the same tone as this would clean house.
I'm buying this one now, btw.

If you mean the ways the levels are laid out, from what I gather:
There are initially 4 worlds with 4 levels a piece. The Water Sprites are the level-ends.
-Upon completing all 16 of these levels, the first ending plays.
In each of the game's levels are extra sub-levels, akin to the Virtual Boy and Game Boy images that were just posted. These levels also have Water Sprites at the end of them.
-Upon completing all 16 levels and 16 sub-levels, the second ending plays.
The fifth world is unlocked when the second ending occurs, or when the first 32 levels are completed, whichever you prefer.
-To unlock the levels in the fifth world, however, you must gather all diamonds from the 4 main worlds. Only the main levels have diamonds, and it sounds like there are 100 in each.
-There is a level per world to unlock, meaning 4 levels in the fifth world. These levels also have sub levels.
-The final ending happens when all 20 main levels and 20 sub levels have been completed.
Also, in order to get to some sub-level entrances, you will need powerups which Grannie will give you when you reach certain diamond amounts. Unfortunately, dying removes this special ability, so try not to die!

Thanks! And damn, not dying is going to be so hard for me. It's dark souls all over again :^(
I secretly love it though lol

I believe it was 8.99, not too low not too high

yeah for PAL it should be lower as it is $8.99
I played MSF about 5 hours, since I beat the time for the 16 stages. Decent length.
Infinite number.

Here's another review from Go you know where:
Great, thanks. I love infinite deaths so much more than the old way of gaming over. Keeps the action fast and encourages me to take risks which is the best way to play platformers.

Not long now! Only thing that's a little concerning for me is the fact that each of these reviews seem to praise the heavy use of 3D. I can't see the effect, so I'm hoping the game works just as well without it (sad that I'll never know what I'm missing, though...). Every SM3DL review praised its implementation and I still managed to beat and enjoy that immensely in 2D mode so I'm hoping for a similar non-issue. In Jools I trust!

Can't wait until 12 tomorrow!
Alright! The Olympics demo and this game will things I'm looking forward to tomorrow night! (I have a midterm at 7pm, but after that it's Mudds time!)
Jools, just so you know people like me exist (and probably by thousands I hope):
That art change the game went through is probably the best decision ever. That 2D version seems to look and feel 10 times better than the old 3D build and the charm is multiplied... and therefore you totally get my money.

Completely agreed. On the other hand, an N64-like 3D platformer is an impossible thing to find nowadays, would have been interesting to see one released.

Yeah, especially if they released it on 3DS where the added depth helps a lot with judging distances.

Great. Now, please, hurry up with the PAL release!

Congrats for the great scores Jools, and I hope the game performs well.
I'll be buying it tomorrow as soon as it becomes available.

I haven't played a Renegade Kid game yet, but this game looks and sounds pretty cool. I've always wanted to play Dementium, but for some reason I never got around to picking them up. I'm still a huge 2D platformer fan so I'm sure I'll at least enjoy this. If I end up digging this game I think I'll have to check out those Dementium games at some point too.
Almost final impressions:
I like the time less and less the more I play (32/40 done). It's still a good game, but I'm a bit sick of the same ennemies, and the three planes mechanic doesn't really bring anything to the table outside of the visual effect. The same could be said for the G-Levels and V-Levels. Ok, it's gray and it's red, but you're doing the same thing, it's only harder. I think Mutant Mudds needed something new halfway through. Maybe they should have introduce the jetpack later on. And yeah, it's slow.
I would still recommand the game, but I prefered Pushmo, VVVVVV and Mighty Switch Force.

Somebody should probably post a quick OT, the thread title doesn't make it clear it's available.

I love that all of my 3DS friends are gaffers.
As I'm playing, the orange light keeps flicking on. When I finally check it, I see five people online...all playing Mutant Mudds.
Great game jools. I'm loving it so far.
