Hi! could someone who has the playthrough please give a working link? would be nice

I have to agree with jade about easy mode. For an easy mode, I think it is way too hard. I'm speaking particularly of level 4.
I have been stuck on it for days because of those spiders. I think they attack way too fast, and half the time I don't even notice them, next thing I know i'm paralized. Also, the zombies are too hard to kill with my sword and I usually end up getting hit and not having a cure to spare.
The game is decent, but I think there needs to be some changes to easy mode in order for it to be fare. Right now, it seems like a normal to hard mode.

about the spiders in easy mode..., 3 hits with the sword or 3 shots with the bow its enough to kill them.
you can hit them two time as it aproaches, them jump it, turn back and give the last hit..., come on, is no too hard
same with the zombies, it take 4 or 5 hits to die.

ok, I didn't mean they aren't easy to kill, because I don't have too much trouble with that, usually. However, I am refering to the fact that you literaly have no time to react before an enemy is ontop of you, and as jade said, you often can't jump back and attack because the enemy can move faster than you while you are in the air. I've gotten hit several times because of this, and not just by week enemys. The problem I have with the spiders is that there are often other enemys in their way, so they take the arrow shots instead of the spiders, and I have to deal with those enemys. I don't dare jump them, because I know that the spider web will get me.

I'm just realy surprised how difficult people seem to take the game for. If you have such issues with level 4 on easy, I already regret you when you get to level 10. :-D
I would love to be able to record the remainder of the walk-through I started in the other topic. Might be able to do like 3 or 4 levels today if all goes well.

Certainly do jump over the spiders though. If you need to retreat from them or get to their other side, there's no other chance. Jumping over most of the enemies above level 4 or 5 is practically a necessity. If you are in the air, their attacks have a much, really noticeably much greater chance of missing, and if you jump up quickly again after you've landed, they won't have enough time to react and attempt another attack. That way, you can comfortably get as far from them as you need. Just make sure you time the jump right as not to fall directly in front of them and within knife range, that's not good as it decreases your own chances of avoiding the enemy.

I agree about the rocks. They're the perhaps somewhat artificially factored difficulty that's supposed to occur in such places. However, if there is just a single rock and not a row of them, it should still be manageable. Basically, if you can hear multiple enemies behind the rocks and they haven't reached or started chasing you yet, try to lure them to you one by one by walking as close to the rocks as possible very, very slowly. That way, there's a great chance that the enemy who is in the lead of the group will notice you first and chase after you alone, without the rest of them. If you hear that is the case, just take a few jumps back away from the rocks, let the enemy get closer, and bye bye. :-)

That's the reason why I usually find it better to walk very slowly and cautiously, listening very hard to what's far ahead of me all the time, through these parts of a level that I haven't explored yet whenever I'm low on health or am just very concerned about losing a life in a particular spot. On the other hand, there are also often times when I don't have to care about that very much and it could on the contrary be advantageous to run as far as possible as quickly as possible, to get as many creatures as I can chasing me at once, if I am just interested in reaching the next checkpoint before dying, or something like that. By the time you reach that checkpoint and die in the process, there's a great chance you'll have at least some of the currently present enemies killed, and when you respawn at the checkpoint, they'l be ahead of you in most cases, not behind, so you'll find yourself in a much better position strategically when starting over with the next life.

That's right. If you use this tactic, you should of course never leave any enemies remaining behind you if at all possible. :-D
By the way, I wonder if I've ever had a bomber actually drop his bomb. Yeah, if I try to attack the bird and don't get it while there are plenty of other enemies around, then I'm sure in trouble as the bird can just get farther away from me and drop the bomb in that case. And sure, it's sometimes difficult to jump back away from the bomb in time. But other than that, if I'm facing a bomber who's alone, he can usually never drop the bomb in time.
The key to avoiding enemy attacks or even not giving them enough time to attack is just to keep on moving in a swarm of enemies. If that's not possible because of rocks or holes, then yeah, there are bound to be several places like that in the game. For me personally, if such spots weren't there at all, the regular game levels would present absolutely no challenge at al to me any more. On easy or normal, that is, I'm not enough of a masochist to play the harder difficulties as things are at the moment.

i think he means the reloading the bow ups the difficulty or something.

Uh, I haven't found any part where it says that.

And yeah, I think he meant artificial difficulty manufactured by having to reload the bow. Realism would say it's a bow, you should have to load every shot, but realism in this case would be overkill.

I would love to see grounded enemies be able to fall into holes, or get squished by rocks when they fall. Q9 did this. q9 also got partway around its difficulty curve by having the Deus Shield, which let you go invincible for awhile. Ultimately, the only thing which really broke that game were those fields you could randomly get or lose health in. Hop up and down on one till you get thousands of health, then run.

But The Gate doesn't have splash damage. Its only quote-unquote bonus level is really, really late into the game. Some enemies can insta-kill you. There's no way to improve your armour or go invincible for brief periods. Falling-rock positioning is not exact. You can be poisoned before you have the antidote. One-shot-kill enemies can appear almost right on top of you. Enemies can paralyze you. ...all on level 4 of the easy difficulty. I hope I don't have to further illustrate the issues here. q9 and Super Liam might be too easy, by comparison, but they do outline some key points I think Aaron might do well to re-examine.

BTW, I can beat SuperLiam without getting hit (or I could once) and I have beaten q9 on the hardest difficulty, albeit with that huge-life trick. I can beat the latter game on normal and hard difficulties without egregious abuse of that trick, so I wouldn't label myself bad at side-scrollers.

Ah, finally, beaten the game. The Hades was damn hard, even on easy. It took me many retries and I lost my last 9 lives to defeat him. I finished with 1 life remaining and about I think 3 arrow pouches.
And the ending is, omg, sad! It just makes you feel like a loser, and not like a winner.

its probably the same, at least that's what I'd expect from the content from vg storm so far.

actually, there was 1 time that I was fighting enemys near a bird, and the bomb went off and they all vanished. They probably got killed by the bomb or something.
