aksldf;jksdf the ending of Shadow of the Woolball is JUST as absolutely ridiculous as the rest of it and I'm dyiiing giggling.
MC and their girlfriend skipping merrily down a corridoor as they escape from the cat empire's planet (somehow?) hand in hand, as the entire base just merrily explodes behind them both hahaha
now to play RISE of the Woolball! Which of course, is a sequel to SHADOW of the Woolball. In which you play the girl instead! Rescuing the other hedgehog! :D :D :D
and it's more inspired by, surprise, the spiritual successor to Wolf3d, Rise of the Triad! This oughtta be fun :3
...so uh... the opening starts good. You're off to a concert on your skateboard, Scott, your boyfriend apparently, is running along behind you, and lags behind, so you wait for him, annnnd then you hear him get the tar beaten out of him. You rush back to help only to find out the badguy from the first game is still alive (somehow) after, quote "he blew my face off!", but now he's back, and is blowing up the planet, and throws you off a cliff...
... and... you... float? instead of fall???
Honestly, Rebecca throughout most of this was just like o__o
during the whole exposition, and when thrown off the cliff was still like o__o "welp"..
THEN sparklees happened and she floated getnly down instead of pizzaing, and was like O_O???
and I'm just as confused as she is, but... so far so good XD
already an improvement :3 can't jump on command, but Rebecca's got a KICK instead (nice sneakers too! very stylish), and can have SIX weapons :3 definitely an upgrade.
Oh cool! So most of the gameplay is still the same, but there's obviously some new things, like mushrooms as bounce pads, a la ROTT, and of course there's still hostages to rescue, but not just hedgeys this time! Bird people and other things too! :D
oh and also coffee returns as the armour, lol.
...well I found the source of said messages.
it's a... it's a telekinetic llama .
HER NAME IS BAAHBARA
Oh she's a sheep not a llama, it's just her sprite was very tall so i thought llama.
That's still great tho. though now she's used up all her powers and she's a regular ass sheep now. boo. ;;
poor girl.
...well she seems pretty chipper about the whole thing. "wow! Was that some kind of magical force helping me? Thankies! :D :D :D "
...then some kinda... i dunno... ghost? carves words into the cliff wall in front of you telling you to come north to the big clearing...
and she's just like "yeah okay seems legit :D "
lol.
