Just finished on medium mode, many things to note!
The 2nd stage is CONSIDERABLY harder than the other 2, it took me 36 minutes apparently, the other 2 each took less than 15, (ok to be fair, number 3 took almost 15)
The game crashed on the 2nd stage, either while dying to one of those missile guys or pressing restart immediately after being hit by said missile, it said to report this to the creator, which I am now. X_X;
At the end of stage 2, I wondered if maybe there was a secret something or another past the exit, so I jumped OVER the exit door, moved off the screen to the right and...well the lad went off screen, but I couldn't get him to come back, he didn't die or anything, he was just stuck offscreen. (update!) this also happens if you jump to the left at the very start of stage 3, and if you fall between SOME of the red crushers in level 2.
You can actually jump past the axe in stage 2 without taking care of it first...its... difficult to explain exactly what happens when you do this, (Can you just try it?) basically you can keep moving in that direction, and you shouldn't be able to in the first place alright.
The music in stage 2 is horrible in general, yes this IS a design flaw! XD
upon finishing stage 3, I was awarded the W.V.B.A. Champion trophy...and promptly noticed the time and deaths for each individual stage have all reset to 0's, which is most likely why I was awarded this trophy, the total numbers overall don't appear to have been affected though.
If you customize a controller instead of the keyboard, you still need to use the KEYBOARD until you reach the file select screen, at which point the controller will start functioning. (This seems consistant).
The last boss in level 2 (don't know his name...seriously who the hell is he?) wasn't making any sounds at all on my hard mode run, he he did on medium and very hard though.
If you fiddle with the trophy menus, sometimes, when you then highlight your files, the difficulties will display "easy" on each one that you highlight, seems to be entirely cosmetic though.
Oddities that may or may not be bugs:
The grappling hook doesn't work at point blank range? (probably not a bug but...)
The "Boss" box on the file select screen is blank even after beating bald bull?
The momentum you get from a charge shot while grappling is sometimes INSANELY fast, while other times, it moves at a slow (and usable) pace. Why is this? This was actually present when that Floe person was playing. (Who the hell is this guy anyway? I'm way WAY better than him!) -_-;
If you used your 2nd jump already, and you press the jump button while grappled and NOT swinging left or right at all, you will fall straight down instead of jumping? Because in this instance it seems to use the 2nd jump? (I wish I realized this at that one point in stage 2, but is this a bug? If you used the 2nd jump and ARE swinging left and right it jumps like you'd expect)
Actually its just functioning strangely period. Its not consistant.
The red platform immediately to your right at the start of level 2, (the one that moves up and down really fast) can be bypassed almost entirely, wait for it to stop spazzing out, then move over to its right side, and you can fall through a small gap, (its only on the right side that you fall through, and not the left)
The red things that try to crush you later (right before the saws) kill you if you touch their undersides. Isn't this hard enough?
Should I post new things I find in a NEW post, or just keep changing this one? Just started hard mode, beat first level, 3rd level is already selectable (is it supposed to be?) and the time and deaths for individual stages are still 0's.
