I loved it too, finished it in maybe 8 min, maybe I'm just more used to older gameplay.Catkid906 said:I loved this game. I played it on Kongregate for an hour, doing one thing over and over again. It is SUPER hard.
Yeah, that part confused me at first.You jump to the 1st platform that crumbles, then jump off the first one and land on the second,then jump to the platform that reappears.sooperman said:It *is* based on Greek mythology, the story of Orpheus and Eurydice.
Edit: The game was too hard for me(I know, kind of sad), only because of the puzzles. I got stuck at the four floating platforms and the one that crumbles. The timing was too hard for me, so I quit =/
Wow. I beat this game, relatively fast, and was left with a "meh" feeling. Reading this post gives me goosebumps, though. I've never heard of the story myself but that is pretty sweet. Greek mythology provides such interesting stories...Florion said:It's Orpheus and Eurydice: You're Orpheus, who, after just marrying his lovely wife, discovers that a viper has attacked her and she has died. Therefore, you go off to the underworld to retrieve her. In the original myth, Orpheus goes down and meets Pluto/Hades and sings a mournful song to appeal for her revival, but since this is a video game, you go down with a pistol and fight monsters. Anyway, in the original myth, Pluto starts crying and says, "Alright, you can have her back as long as you don't look back at her until you are out of the valley of the Underworld." That part isn't explained in the game.
I took the ending of the game to mean he gets his wife back, but he can't come back to life, so they both disappear. It was quite powerful, but I could be totally off. xP
