Title: Eversion
Post by: BloodEagle on January 09, 2009, 02:02:07 am

Great little platforming gem forwarded to me through VGCats a while back.

Notes:

This game MAXES CPU USAGE!

This game MUST BE PLAYED IN A DARK ROOM AT NIGHT!

Finally beat it. Games got an equal amount of challenge and frustration, especially near the end levels.

I got really hung up on level 4, and then level 7 managed to give me some issues; I'm currently working my way through level 8.  The concept is astounding (and often creepy); I just wish that the difficulty and control issues hadn't soured me on it somewhat.

Oh great, I should've gotten all the gems right?

You can get both endings regardless of gems.

Spoiler:

Have all of the gems, and exit the level in the darkest mode to reach the final level.

Now that I think about it. I never beat the game without all of the gems.... I wonder if there are three endings....

Spoiler:

The last level I played had some horrible red end-of-the-world chasing me and when I finished it I got eaten by the princess/monster. Which ending was that?

The first, although I don't remember the:

thing chasing you. I just jumped straight to the ending after crossing the line. I guess there is a third ending, after all.

No, there are just two.  The first ending is shown when you finish the seventh level without all of the gems, or with all of the gems but without doing something else critical.  To get the second ending:

Spoiler:

Get all of the gems, restart level 7, and evert right at the start of level 7 (where your gem total is displayed).  Finish this version of level 7, and you'll unlock level 8; beating it shows the second ending.

OH MY GOD

 :shaking:

That game made me JUMP like 5 times. The secret ending is messed up. That whole game is messed up. If I were reviewing this game, I would call it a "Seriously awesome piece of f*cked up game design."

Which is of course why i am now recommending it to all my friends xD

Oh wow, this game was awesome. I seriously did not expect... like... any of that. Too short though, here I am after just a couple of hours and I've gotten the secret ending. :blah:

Totally worth it, though.
