My actual genesis is in storage rn but I do have an everdrive hooked up to a mega retron on a little CRT and played thisbgame thru again recently on it. It's still slow af and makes me feel bad I ever thought that labyrinth in vanilla sonic 1 was slow. 😆 especially whenever you take a hit like Jesus christ I'm surprised my apartment didn't go up in smoke with Dat slowdown

That hung me up too. It sucks. All I can say is you *really* have to be pushing the left thumbstick in the direction you're trying to go. At least that was the case on the Xbox one pad I was using.

@@evan2902 I beat the game 100 percent all you have to do is jump once land on second wall jump pad mash jump against the wall you’ll glitch jump up to the ball section

The way princess peach is depicted kind of had me going "oh no pls no" at first. I'm happy it's not what I feared.

I'm sorry for your loss

Let's try to 420

I'm not sure what controller you're using, but I recall using an Xbox One controller when I was doing this and I had to *really* push the analog stick in diagonally to get through those wall jumps consistently. Kinda surprised I didn't break the damn thing right off.

You could always make it easier on yourself and rejump off of the red wall on the left.

I really hope that part got patched because you're not the only one from what I've read. Seems like the dev has been actively updating this game for a while with achievements and whatnot last time I checked.

That had to be heartbreaking. That's why I paused a lot and fucked with the camera. I did *not* want to fuck up there as I was actually on a work break in the middle of the night when I went for this and knew I wasn't going to be able to try again after that.

I’ve tried so many times and man…I just cant get past that part. It’s sucks…

That's like the least consistent part for me. I lost at least five runs because of how much I struggled to perceive depth with those bubbles. Definitely put even more hair on my chest. By the time I get around to completing something like Battletoads, I'm going to be a whole ass grizzly bear.

@@evan2902 Yeah the depth at that part is way too hard to gauge, so brutal. I almost totally quit playing the game after failing at that part lol

Really lives up to its name, doesn’t it?

I won't even lie...this shit took me like two and a half hours to beat. Don't feel bad if you can't get far or anything.

For me it was about how much it resembled dk64 in some aspects. No other game really brought me back to being six years old and trying to figure out an early 3d title with my cousin quite like this. Sadly, that cousin is no longer around but this game was literally therapy in the sense that it felt like one of those titles he would've helped me with some 20 odd years ago. I can't put a price on that. Just hope there will be a sequel in the future with a bigger budget that's perhaps just a little less cryptic. I know there's more to this game after the tower, but I called it a day here.

@evan2902 Similarly, growing up, one of my faves was Banjo Kazooie, so after seeing this I couldn't resist to not try it lol. I gotta say it definitely hit all those same sweet spots as well and brought back some of those good memories. I saw that there is another secret ending, but like you, I'm not sure if I'll attempt that as I'm not the type typically with most games to go searching high and low for every last collectable.

As I know, the game has been developed since 2013 (I was very surprised when I found out).

Oh, sorry, I was lying... Since 2011

You need to get your XP up to at least level 5. Once you do that, the door in the back of the (sadly false) Nacho emporium at the start of the game can be opened and will lead to this tower. The one you reached was basically the normal ending.

​@@evan2902 Thanks for the quick response. Are there any other levels after Tower of Anxiety? If not I'll probably stop playing the game after beating the Tower since I'm not crazy about the EXP hunting (I have 322 EXP iirc, that's not far from the total count but it's going to be a real pain combing the areas again), even if I appreciate the kind of thing Corn Kidz 64 is going for (it's like playing some cryptic game without having a guide to help you, which forces you to engage with the community).

There is more XP to collect and one other ending to my knowledge, but as of now I don't believe there are any guides or full longplays showing how to access it all.@@Happytreefriendsfan3

Damn, I didn't know anyone would be seeing this in 2023. To think I was in high school when I was obsessed with this game on mobile and was super hyped to have an official PC port.

Truthfully, I stopped playing this for a bit after doing the tower of anxiety as I'm not a completionist. You could ask on steam forums, but the dev is pretty cryptic with their hints. Somebody will do it at some point, I'm sure.

There are Steam guides up now with XP and Void Screw locations

This took me like one and a half to two hours to pull off. I do think the end with the bubbles needs seriously tweaking but other than that it was a solid way to end the game.
