Bangai-O Spirits (DS)

Decided against trying the puzzle stages last night and instead finally cleared level two of the “Other Stages” section, which houses most of the levels. It wasn’t actually that difficult, really, I just kept leaving things too long before performing my EX attacks. That’s a great way to find yourself very dead, very quickly.

I’m trying the puzzle levels now. The first three didn’t give me any real trouble, but the fourth is very hard. It’s very similar to level eleven of the Treasure’s Best section – picking a path through falling blocks, many of which are indestructible – but much harder, in that there’s no obvious path through. Every time you move near the start there are many moves that won’t result in instant fail, but I assume there’s only one move at each step that’s correct. I’m having a hard time and may just move on without finishing this one for now.

I finished the Treasure’s Best levels last night – hooray! The last one, level 27, The World, took me quite a while. I spent ages experimenting with different weapon loads, then once I’d settled on a good combo it took me a fair few goes to actually beat the stage. I really loved it. An excellent balance between thinking and shooting. Quite possibly my favourite level so far. And it’s so simple – just you, six big enemies and a fully destructible representation of the world in the middle.

I just love the game. I’ve put hours and hours into it now and I’ve enjoyed it immensely. I may find that the Treasure’s Best section had the best levels in it, but I hope not. If the other levels can keep me going as these have, I’ll be very happy indeed.

It’s a wonderful game. It’s odd how half the people that play it love it and the other half hate it. I guess there’s just a clicking point that some people reach and others don’t. Or something. It’s very strange. I’m just glad I’m in the “love it” camp.

Level seventeen, name of MIP, done!

Now on to level eighteen, MIP2.

Oh, how I love this game.

I sigh happily when I think of it.

Yes, level seventeen of the Treasure section is just like level thirteen – lots of very easy bits making an impossible whole.

Levels 14,15 and 16 of the Treasure section were relatively easy, but now I’m on level seventeen, which is another long, long level made up of bits that aren’t too hard individually, but which can kill you dead if you’re not careful. It’s a big pit and I have a horrible feeling that there’s a nasty surprise at the bottom, but I’ve not got that far yet. Gulp.

Ha ha! I did level thirteen!

(I’m glad nobody reads this, so I won’t be getting comments from people telling me they did it first time.)

Nope, level thirteen of the Treasure levels is definitely impossible, despite being made up of a lot of fairly easy bits.

No, it doesn’t make any sense.

After a few easy levels, Treasure level 13 is impossible. Annoyingly, it’s impossible for no reason, as each part of the leve is perfectly easy. I don’t get it.

Very tired, in bed, early hours of the morning, hardly able to focus on the screen, I went back to the Treasure levels and got through three or four levels without any real problems. Very strange.
