Freedom Planet: 2D Sonic-Inspired Indie Platformer

Sorry, but nope. Not yet.

*Edit* Ninja'd!
 
Did you ever get past Battle Glacier as Milla?
 
I am struggling on Jade Creek with Milla because of Serpentine.

I got bodied when I went Lilac and its on hard with Milla, Im asking to get wrecked lol
I think the mini-boss has the same pattern on hard and I think its one of those bosses that counts hits and not damage output, so mini-shield bursts over super beam.

Serpentine isnt very hard with Milla.
The super beam almost always floors him.
Thanks. I was under the assumption that have to hold the block button and the shield button to do that attack instead of just pressing the shield button while holding the block.

I just beat Milla's Classic Mode with 56-59 deaths. For me, it took some getting use to when fighting the bosses near the end.

I'd Argue the Battle Glacier boss. That's what claimed most of my lives.
On a second thought, you are right on that one. I was juggling between trying to recover lost health and hitting him.

lol no i meant easy normal or hard.
Ooooh! My mistake. I meant Normal.
 
I didn't realize my only post is about Sonic Fan Game Headquarters.

This game legitimately made me cry (Final Dreadnought R3), and hits every fiber of my soul in many ways. I am tempted to make a large bullet list about it, but the general jist is that this game, as a Sonic The Hedgehog fan, is basically what I've wanted from Sonic team since uh, about, round the time Sonic 2006 was announced?

Beat Carol story on hard, 80 deaths, 246:**.** (?) runtime total, running through Liliac's on normal and then Milla's.

Hey look reasons why I think this game is cool come look:
  • Having an in-game attract sequence.
  • Having an in-game story mode using gameplay.
  • Having a keybinding menu with keyboard + joystick and letting you remap your cardinal directions
  • Having more than 3 save files.
  • Giving you the option to choose between an Adventure mode with dialogue, or Classic mode without.
  • Transitions in levels change the tone of the music (Sonic 3 and Knuckles did this whenever you defeated a mid-boss, same rules apply, if not for some particular stage event)
  • Special attacks have invincibilities; Each character has useful normals that don't cost a resource but have some sort of property that makes them not a go-to option that isn't your stand attack
  • Somehow, they worked in the concept of Rooms from Megaman. That's pretty fucking awesome (Relic Maze)
  • Character specific stages that don't suck.
  • Carol has an actual resource that justifies her weak combat skills
  • Lilac has an actual resource that justifies her poor movement speed
  • Milla is cool as HELL.
  • Dragon Valley R1 has the same stage gimmick as Lava Reef Zone Act 1 (Corkscrew section that you must run or roll through)
  • Dragon Valley R2 has the same stage gimmick as Lava Reef Zone Act 1 (Bridge-destroying boulder)
  • Relic Maze R1 has the same gimmick as Sandopolis Act 2 and Flying Battery Zone Act 1 but doesn't suck (Scaffolding that you can hang on, but is also a functioning switch or happens to move to another section of the level)
  • Relic Maze R2 has practically the same level transition as Lava Reef Act 1 to Lava Reef Act 2.
  • Relic Maze R2 has several shoutouts to Sonic 3 and Knuckles as a whole
    • Large moving sections of rock
    • Tile-destroying objects (Drills)
    • Gems that activate larger orbs ( Sky Sanctuary Orbs )
  • Fortune Night R1 has stop lights, holy crap
  • Fortune Night R1 has those crazy bezier curve bridges
  • Fortune Night R1 has the same mid-boss as Carnival Night Act 1
  • Fortune Night R2 has a boogie section
  • Fortune Night R2 has a neat easter egg relating to bathrooms
  • Fortune Night R2's alternate boss is pretty goddamn rad
  • Fortune Night R2's boss is basically Gunstar Green's Tiger Force (?)
  • Sky Battalion is a not-shitty version of Sonic 2's Sky Chase
  • Sky Battalion has the coolest way to do a hub zone level ever.
  • Thermal Base has a keycard mechanic. wow.
  • Thermal Base R1's boss uses the same sound effect as Lava Reef Act 1's boss
  • Thermal Base R2 has a few level-design cues similar to Wacky Workbench
  • Trap Hideout. Just Trap Hideout
  • The Shoot-Em-Up into Battle Glacier is super rad
  • Oh my GOD BATTLE GLACIER'S TWEENING PLATFORMS IS THE BEST HOLY CHRIST HOW DO YOU DO THAT.
  • Final Dreadnought R1 has the coolest things in the world
  • Final Dreadnought R1's boss is basically Seven Force
  • Final Dreadnought R2's boss is basically Gunstar Orange (?)
  • Final Dreadnought R2's boss is kind of the most saddest thing in the world
  • Final Dreadnought R4's boss has an actual way to tell how much damage you need to deal throughout the fight
  • Each boss in the game either has a checkpoint near them, or actually tracks your progress for any phase they go through.
  • You don't necessarily need to touch an enemy for it to hurt you.
What does suck about the game is uh
  • I have absolutely no idea what each shield does at first glance, and even then, some immunities largely make no sense.
  • The difficulty curve, right about from Thermal Base increases dramatically, almost to the point of making no sense
  • Final Dreadnought as a whole has nintendo-hard written all over it.
  • Final Dreadnought R3 was quite confusing at first
  • Final Dreadnought R4's checkpoint before the boss... Why? I know WHY, but why not just have it just after this?
  • Trap Hideout's checking before the boss... Why?
  • Carol's Dash Attack is extremely risky for an ensured mortal hit, but it takes ~60% of Special to do the same, and around 4 hits of her regular attack to to the same mortal damage???
  • What in the hell does the white shield do
  • What is the point to having 5 elements for the bonus spheres
I loved it though.

The only time I've ever seen Wacky Workbench listed close to a positive.

Wacky Workbench in unjustly disliked.
 
I haven't touched Milla's classic mode yet because I wanna play the adventure mode first. Don't know if there's a word for that.

I get what you mean, there are a few things you are thinking about that you want to see how its handled for Milla
AKA: End of Final Dreadnought 3 for Milla.
 
I started a Lets Play, let me know what you think:

Spike shield! It was actually a mechanic in a cool sonic fan game from a few years ago, which is the only reason I thought to try jumping on spikes.
