Pretty neato puzzley homebrew game, with SGX and Arcade Card support.  I hope she presses it some day, but for now it's available as a free download.  Bravo, nicole!

Wow, that was a really good read, even though I got lost in the code at the end. I'm burning it to a disc right now!

Well I made it up to Neptune tonight and did the first jumping level, and thought it saved the game, but after a little break I started up the game and had to start over. I'll pick it up again tomorrow!

I bet the story would make more sense if I had played the first game. And knew more about quantum physics. :)

The puzzles are a lot of fun, though! Up until now most have been easy enough to figure out in one pass, but I still felt clever figuring them out, haha.

I made it to Earth today. I had to start over from the beginning, but most of the puzzles were easy to solve a second time. I still haven't finished it though. Some of these puzzles are pretty long!

That's a good idea. I haven't uploaded any video footage in ages. I wouldn't mind recording some footage of the Cleopatra's Curse demo, too. I can't believe how long that demo is!

Heh, my first playthrough had plenty of deaths.  Zero deaths (to get the heart) came from immediately replaying it.  :mrgreen:

Haha. I'm not sure I could get zero deaths on a second playthrough. Some of those puzzles are pretty tricky!

On that page she says she'd like to press the game, so maybe she can work with Saru or DK to get it lined up.

Here's a video of me playing through it from a twitch stream last year!  Would absolutely LOVE it if this was a professional pressing someday!! <3
