it's pretty fun! honestly the western vip5 so far. made it to hongry plants, but then my power went out for like two hours so i just played odyssey and got through lost kingdom and metro kingdom
edit: i'm at koopa khaos
update on summon night even if i havent played it in a few days: i'm at chapter 5, trying to do the Sivon (スウォン) sub scenario but it kicked my butt and i didnt save so im back to the start of chapter 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woops
i should feel bad about playing this without being very good at jp but i just want to relax and play a strategy rpg
onions on jumphalf:
ワールド1:草原
BEGINNER FRIENDLY
generally an easy stage. i like the feeling of a 105 edit, very vip1-ish haha
JANK TOWN USA
i kept thinking this stage was gonna make me do stupid bullshit because of all the custom blocks and whatnot but then i remembered that this was just the tutorial level
Home Run Derby
the baseball bat makes me laugh, i adore how the baseballs just become fireballs as if to say they're on fire from how hard mario swung it. it's so good!
Over Hills and Valleys
really good eye candy, very anikiti-esque or "that guy that did the bubble stages in vip"-esque. however, i do find the random clouds and coins in the middle of the sky just really dumb and kinda were a red herring for me when it came to finding the last dragon coin.
Hot Kickin'
i like the vanilla cave-ish feel. honestly it feels a bit like an edit at times. maybe that's a compliment?
Spooooooooky Cave
so begins the jank. I like the ghost skins for everything its cute. stage also felt very vanilla cave-ish with its open verticality in some segments
Offline Fencing
now this is podracing. a very nice hectic athletic level. felt kinda star world-ish.
Helium Caverns
i love the custom balloons. it makes a world of difference when you just have an irritating maze style of control instead of having your character constantly being nudged upwards, and i say this as someone who has no trouble at all with tubular. on keyboard. also this stage fucking owned my ass and was the first difficulty spike in my journey
Bastion 2 Blue
a nice, simple castle. i enjoyed the tribute to bastion in blue, really feels like a logical evolution of that stage, an Act 2 if you don't mind me speaking in furry terms
ワールド2:高原
Where No Man Lands
the whole floating platforms in the middle of nowhere "aesthetic" had a really good feel to it, very super mario sunshine secret level esque. also kinda yumpy? but not in a bad way! i had fun.
THIS WHAT GOD FEEL LIKE
this is a good name. i like the twist on mario 3 reddish note blocks, a very creative stage. pretty funny too.
Destiny of Grassland
another pretty stage. didnt feel much ~destiny~ from it but it was the kind of focused level design with colorful aesthetics i've come to expect from watching yoshi numbers' vids <3
VLDC Media Player
a nice vanilla level? i was kinda expecting it to turn it on its head and go full chocolate as a small gag but. a breather level is fine too
The Rhineland
this level made me laugh.
River of the Living Beards
a so-so stage honestly. no offense to sixcorbo. fuzzies are cute tho, especially the little zangief ones from asmt
JUMPING TIME
a fun star world-ish math platform stage. my one complaint is that i tried to go on the pipe for the secret exit like three times and in those three times it didnt register as me going in despite pressing up? that's nintendo's fault rest assured just. i legit had no idea where the secret exit was until i went a bit through world 3!
Peer Pressure
i'm honestly glad the ladies' bathroom text got changed in the latter half, extremely bad timing with the whole bathroom bill issue. you did miss an attempt to make a funny joke about ladies' bathrooms being portals to a dimension of eldritch horrors or something. a really funny stage and a clever spin on reset doors.
WINNERS DONT USE DRUGS
i was legit expecting the hallucinogenic shrooms to just kill you????? what the fuck mog. then again i'm probably confusing mogsiah with mindevous and mog probably was just always pretty good at asm? who knows. it was funy
Green Palace of the Alchemist
a very clever, very fun switch palace! i liked this! i liked this? i liked this.
When Porcupuffers Fly
sonic mania yoooooo. reminds me a bit of the oil spill level in one of the MGUs but this one is actually good???? 乙 i like the little wings on the porcupuffers :)
Midday and Midnight
memories of the Day World and Night World from VIP4. overall an easyish stage if you know what setting is best for each segment of the level. it'd be neat if you gated the dragon coins behind the harder routes, but i dont want to be nitpicky
PUNCHLINE
honestly a very awkward gimmick? funny concept though, just not my thing. sorry
Dynamic Dungeon
the ff legend 2 song does not fit here. a fun stage, i look forward to replaying it with the red switch.
ワールド3:砂漠
Desert Artillery Range
another very anikiti-ish stage, down to the wiggler chomps. a fun little romp, easier than anikiti
ILLUSIYELLOW
okay real talk this level kept fucking me up because i am not used to things that are yellow not being tangible but things of another color are??????? damn you!!!!!!!!!!! i do wonder if this stage is too hard for colorblind people tho (sweat emoji)
The Bootstrapped
this stage was really good. the gimmick is really dumb but the execution is excellent, as expected from worldpeace. the feeling of using a quintet of podoboos performing synchronized reflecting as a platform was very orgasmic though.
Big Bubble Watchers
a breather level, but there's really not much that can be made from the gas bubbles. had fun!
Do They Float?
my second favorite stage so far, and another ass-kicker. replaying it to get that last dragon coin made it that much better. 10/10 i want to marry this level.
Treehouse of the Parakoopas
i was worried at first because the start seemed too busy, like Poker's Piranha Island hack, but the rest of the stage was surprisingly easy on the eyes. not that many parakoopas, but it was a quality stage. keep it up.
The Lost Lotus Forest
i really want to know how you did the dynamic level loading. did you load the layer 1 from another sublevel behind the player's back? a nice stage if kinda easy-ish. i like the variety in lotuses tho
Caliginous Coppice
the secret exit method legit pissed me off? especially because i kept dying in stupid ways trying to get it. this isn't fair! not a bad level :)
Rubicon
this level is up there with some of the best. you managed to make a level where you cant go right fun, creative and challenging. what the fuck is with this.... furry. lazy, please take my hand in marriage you absolute madperson. i love this stage you have no idea WOW
Questionable Yellow Switch
i'm sorry i do not like this stage at all haha. i dont want to be mean but the ? block spam and the close corner maneuvering with the sawblades is just not very fun and feels very cumbersome. first stage i outright didnt like. i'm so sorry
Brain Plague
a very suspenseful stage. i actually enjoyed this one a lot!
Bunny Hop
a neat level exploring the many uses of jiangshi-style hoppin' statues. honestly a huge step up from the previous sixcorby stage. really good shit, keep it up boyo!!!!!!!!
this group of trees is cOLD
wow this haruhi port still sucks ass. so-so ice stage, honestly. i didnt really enjoy it much but that's fine.
Quillstamp Melody
probably the best attempt at making a bramble level out of vanilla assets i've seen thus far. i'm a graphics whore so i'm easily suckered into any decent rip of the dkc2 brambles, but this stage was really good looking. i'm impressed. anyway, very solid stage, kinda tough-ish tho. my one complaint is that the 3up moon is too easy to get, even if i did grind to 99 lives in the oasis.
hongry plants
this level, kicked my but??? the kind of jump level i suck ass at lol
i saw you in the forest
a simple layer 2 level. pretty fun
