I'm going to hop on this train too. I'd totally watch from the beginning of the Steam version to see this epic storyUnaniem wrote:Still I'd suggest the same others have at this point and flipping over to the steam releases (preferably the japanese translated one because the dialogue just makes the game a lot more coherent and charming) allowing you easy extra lives and level selects. The game is only going to continue increasing the difficulty at this point.

Trouble Bruin is actually a cat in the Japanese version. For the US one, they painted him brown and called him a bear for... Reasons I still don't understand. Couldn't roll with "cat astrophe" or something?
Also, he's your rival because he changes his body but keeps his head, while you change your head but keep your body.

It's worth noting that both his head and body have names in the japanese version, the body being called "Kuma" which means bearDark_Paratroopa wrote:Trouble Bruin is actually a cat in the Japanese version.

Re: Dynamite Headdy: ON THE SKY
It's five videos in, and I still have no idea what's going on or what these design decisions are, but I heard this was a good game, so...
Re: Dynamite Headdy: ON THE SKY
I'm trying to remember from Madam Luna's LP, I think there was this lady boss involving Heather that is pretty hard.
And I think there is a certain boss called Twin Freak, Twin Head, or Twin Face (it was Twin something) near the end that reaches That One Boss territory.
Beware.

Re: Dynamite Headdy: ON THE SKY
You're not wrong about those bosses, but they have different HP counts in the American release. The Heather boss and the final boss both have doubled HP, while the Twin boss has half as much. Naturally this changes the order of which bosses are the most challenging!Sebby19 wrote:I'm trying to remember from Madam Luna's LP, I think there was this lady boss involving Heather that is pretty hard.

Re: Dynamite Headdy: ON THE SKY
I still think Twin Freaks is the hardest boss anyway. Took me a lot longer to get past as a kid than the boss of Act 7 (who I honestly don't find hard at all if you're patient enough to abuse empty head and careful enough to avoid melon head) and Dark Demon did.Count Mohawk wrote:You're not wrong about those bosses, but they have different HP counts in the American release.

Though back then I semi-cheated at Dark Demon with heavy use of the pause button, so maybe he would have been harder to learn had I played fair. Too late to know now, I s'pose. Still, when I replay the game, I tend to die a bit more at Twin Freaks than at Dark Demon (because damn it, though I've beaten each act individually without dying, I still have yet to beat the whole game in one deathless go...somewhere between acts 8 and 9 (and sometimes 6 if I don't do well at the airship) death always manages to find me...)

Oh geez, Baby Face.. bane of my child existence. Whenever I rented this I generally game overed here. Still love the stage and the boss though. :D

I never even knew there was a level select. Child me would have liked it, but me now is glad I didn't know, It builds character.

Re: Dynamite Headdy: PARADISE?
Act 7 secrets time!
Storywise, here's what just went down. Heather explained that this is where the Dark Demon's castle is--this nice peaceful meadow. Gatekeeper (who in Japan is a geisha) comes by and explains she's clearly mistaken. Heather doesn't believe the geisha's crap, and has Headdy distract her while she throws the keys into the lock thing. Upon unlocking the thing, the castle is revealed to have been hiding behind the backdrop the whole time! Of course, this pisses off the gatekeeper, so...she retaliates. In Japan, I believe the Nasty Gatekeeper is actually a second, different Geisha, but in this version I think it's supposed to be the same person, just pissed. But yeah, she's there as an agent of the Dark Demon to try to prevent people from finding his castle. So much for that.
raocow nearly won the first fight attempt with a couple of lucky bombs. That would have been hilariously quick to win...too bad for the melon head ruining it in the end. One of the two main strats I know of for this boss are the bomb strat that's quick but tough--you've gotta time it properly twice. The other is the empty head strat--use the invincibility and slowly plink her to death whenever she's open to attack. That's the safer strat, but since you need to grab the empty head often, you've gotta be careful of melon head.
Nasty Gatekeeper is tough, but when you learn her, she's not really a big problem. We've now reached the lategame--just 2 acts left!

Re: Dynamite Headdy: PARADISE?
I read in the YouTube comments that throwing Headdy's head up is a good way to avoid the claw strikes, since that is what the boss targets.
Here's what the Gate Master looks like in the Jap version. This is what I remember, so I guess Madam Luna LP'd that version.
So I wonder what Twin Freak is? Is he a Keymaster like the others? But there's no need for anymore though, right?
I guess we'll find out!

Re: Dynamite Headdy: PARADISE?
Welp, raocow fighting the Gatekeeper was distracting. I was crying out loud when he got two bomb hits on the boss, it would have been hilarious if he did it like that. But yeah, he didn't understand how Headdy is targeted and that only the body is his hitbox. Also Heather throws a projectile everytime you hit her, you get hurt even on invisible mode. Having a waifu hurts.
The beginning of the next video is going to be hilarious I bet~
PS: Someone should give a savestate to raocow before the secret boss with the corresponding password.

Re: Dynamite Headdy: FIGHT! | MISSILE BASE | RADICAL PARTY | REVERSE WORLD
Hoo boy, Twin Freaks.
From what I've heard, the target is only the center of his ear, but only when he's green. Since his red form is faster, the goal is to keep him green long enough so he doesn't have the chance to squish you once you invert.

Re: Dynamite Headdy: FIGHT! | MISSILE BASE | RADICAL PARTY | REVERSE WORLD
This is the longest act in the game, both by scene count (5!) and just by sheer length. But it's the lategame, that's what happens!
Here are the secret bonus for the whole act:
Fun Forgiven also has a life farm! After tarot, there's TWO extra lives hiding in fake walls. Find 'em and kill yourself for a profit! raocow got one, the other one is also down in that spike pit, off to one of the side walls (the other wall has bananas and points). I do not recommend farming here, it takes FOREVER, but it's an option you can do. Forever.
Story wise there's nothing really new--Twin Freaks is like an elite guard if you will, so he's just trying to stop you from advancing towards the dark demon. After him you're nearly there!
