Better get the import.
I noticed in one of the videos over at www.dotu.net that a new "GROUND DASH" has been added. Basically like the Homing jump, except performed on the ground and REALLY fast, it seems.
I recall starting a thread on this game a long time ago.
I highly suggest you read the "story" over on the dotu site, it is funny, and makes the game sound really fun.
I'd really like to see this game finally come out.
Somebody find Ryan and wake him up. This discussion is suddenly relevant again.
I love how everything gets answered in the end. Now that this is out there, it's interesting to see just how complete it was. As far as I can tell it's 100% done, and fairly polished, too, with lots of pretty decent dialog (by TT standards) from the original voice actors and a lengthy adventure mode campaign. I could see this being a blast for co-op. It's not amazing solo, but it's not bad.
I'm still figuring out some of the gameplay, though. There's not more punching/kicking like Rakugaki, but there's a new attack that doesn't work most of the time when I do it, and I haven't figured out the criteria for doing it right. There's also very few characters unlocked at the beginning, but it seems like there are lots total.
I just tried it for 5 minutes, I am having a hard time with that marker dash thing. Other than that, it seems to be very simplistic and the game doesn't look all that great (even in 2003 standard). I took a 3 minute HDef video but not sure if I can upload it to youtube...
I think it was easier for me to pick up because I've played Rakugaki before. The homing jump works pretty much the same way.
Things get a little more interesting as the game progresses. The fundamentals are very simple, but there are more items and the levels themselves get more complicated. It's also a surprisingly difficult game.
Yah that beginning part where you have to race across the classroom corridor with all the flying debris just make me want to kill myself. Treasure always make tough games.
So this apparently wasn't quite 100% finished. There are some wonky text strings in the pyramid stage that run off the edge of the screen. Stuff that probably had to do with localization on Conspiracy's end. Not too big a deal. Also one of the puzzles in this stage has me kind of stumped.
Bingo! I uploaded the first 3 minute of me playing this game. I forgot to hook up the optical cable to receiver so there is no sound, and as you can see, I have no idea what I was doing....
Nevermind, it is not ready yet... I will repost when it is finished processing.
For some reason I can't imbed it, but you can click and watch it below.

Man, you are really bad at holding a camera.
