And why did you abandon the development of Luigi Fight for the Lost Island at the beginning of 2021?

Been playing through this, and I'm loving the simple, yet super fun levels. The way you guys took an idea and expanded on it as much as possible was great. Couple things I caught tho:

Spoiler: show

If you don't kill this plant, he will hurt you when you go through this pipe and then go back through it.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but this guy is basically saying "There's some other Bloomba around from what I've heard, but I spawned WAY later, so IDK much. If that's the case, why does he say "before" instead of "after" or something?


Edit: I forgot this, but despite the stars displaying they give you 4 or 5 coins (can't remember), they don't.

The levels are really well made, and it's been fun to play through them and find all the stars and secret exits. Unfortunately, the final level has an issue that makes trying to complete it really annoying:

Spoiler: show

Sometimes the mole generator in this part of the level seems to just spawn a bunch of moles at random, preventing them from using the springboards.

Also, for some reason, trying to exit a level from the pause menu doesn't do anything. Aside from these issues, great job!

I expected anything from the haunted level, but not kaizoXD

I wanted to say that the ghost house is too complicated! By the way, how to get to the other 9 levels?

I installed the patch, but now I get this error when I try to enter the portal.

1. Paddle Wheels have two spots that scream it was untested. The last jump on the 1st section requires you to get hit intentionally and make a small jump on the Scuttlebug under the coins. As well as the vertical Paddle Wheel right before the checkpoint with 2 coins on the left and instant-kill lava on the right. Before the new patch, there aren't any coins on the platform that I would land on after the 2nd brutal spot. If memory serves right about how I completed the challenge in the first place, it makes the whole challenge impossible with the added coins. This challenge broke me.
2. Swooper's no-left challenge is just difficult. Overshot a jump with the bouncing Swoopers and you have to reset the level. Speaking of resetting, why can't you start from a checkpoint? You have a lua system that checks if the conditions remain unbroken before getting the checkpoint and then saves it. Resetting back to the checkpoint instead of killing yourself intentionally after failing the conditions is just better.
3. Sticky Swamp minimum jumps are tight. Almost little to no tolerance for needing just one extra jump. This comes from me that completed the challenge in exactly 24 jumps. A damage boost at the goal is a must and you can't even make a 1-block slime gap without jumping. It is quite unforgiving.
4. As pointed out by others, the Ghost House speed run can be a nightmare. You had to slow down for tight spots between the boos and Eeries, as well as not take damage to lose your flying ability. You only have 2 minutes for the whole level, and it was a miracle that I completed it at around 1:40 after getting hit on the moving spikes and clutching with the invincibility frames.

While I appreciate the quality of the system, a lot of content seems rushed every time I try to complete the game. Started the day after it was released and with just some levels not yet beaten. The challenges are brutal to complete, and I ended up deleting all my footage despite already completing them all due to a newer version coming out. Just as I try the 1.02 version, the portal failed to work. And for this 1.03 version, the starting point for the player is misplaced literally for the 2nd level (Paddle level). I immediately stopped playing after that.

Some challenges are, in a bad way, tight and frustrating.

As I said, it feels rushed. The fundamental technical problem with the portal error and the "exit level menu" not functioning somehow got past testing. Same with the "Challenge 2 completed" text and the "5th keyhole" text on the same line as the 4th one. Discounting the problems with the design of the challenges, I completed them all by trial and error. However, I never beat the game and will decide not to for the time being. I don't know what else isn't fixed or is still problematic, so I am going to wait until everything is finalized.

I played some of this last night and the Deepis Water Level is my favourite I think. Luigi's swimming feels real nice, and there are some neat shortcuts past curving Rammerheads.

The fragments are disappointingly short and wouldn't even be worth the purchase price if there were 11 or more of them, I'm afraid. Deliberately designing them as dioramas to hang out in may have helped their staying power.
