Very much down. The rest of the game is pretty free after world 2.

Nope! The difficulty is pretty much perfect after World 2.

I would have to disagree. After struggling with world 2 for a long time I made it through world 3 on my first try. From there the later worlds didn't take much longer and even the final world has checkpoints every 2 seconds meaning it is very easy (relatively).
Stallion Free
Cock Encumbered
The devs thought they could get away with it getting easy since Derrick doesn't like indie games and wouldn't complain about it.
I'd say it gets more difficult, but not by much. The boss fights are never really that challenging, and they don't have a hard mode on the Valkyrie path. Keep at it and you can get ending A!
Huh? But world 6 isn't the final world. Someone here hasn't finished the game!
You should do it, there's a really cool moment in the Valk path for world 6, highlight of the game for me haha.

Treasure Adventure Game. But it's not on Steam... and it's free.
Steam. And you have good taste. Oh, but you should wait for the Winter sale, it'll most likely be $3.75 (assuming it's caught your interest because of the PSN sale).
He better cave for Routine.
Now I know how it feels.

Yeah, it's there.
I've read Valdis Story is pretty good.
Hmmm. I'll consider that then.

Derrick and his stance on indie games is fucking annoying and I hate hearing about it
However, it is great. Haven't used it in game yet, but it works as a normal mouse cursor so you theoretically could use it to aim in an FPS. I'll give it a shot and report back
It's really sensitive. The xinput wrapper will be supporting it in the next release with more features than the current trackpad driver like precision adjustments.

I was loving the controller, but the shoulder buttons do not hold up(sticking). Now I'm back to Motioinjoy + BetterDS3. : (

The tricky thing with comparing them is that you get a lot better at the game by playing world 2, since it is designed to force you to learn how to play. The alternate path has some levels harder than normal 2 though. I'd say something like:
1. alt-2
2. alt-6
3. 2
4. 7
5. alt-5
Regular 6 would be up there if it didn't have so many checkpoints. One of the great things about the design is that, when you beat the normal path and have gotten good at the game, the next challenge is to try a perfect run through the alternate path, which you are now prepared to attempt. I might steal that idea if I ever make a game.

maybe try buying them when they are on sale then, it was 14.99 not that long ago
Really? I think that Valkyrie Path world 6 is easy as hell as long as you play carefully, and that world 7 is essentially a freebie.
Valk Path Endgame Spoilers:
World 7 feeds you so many chests that you basically get free tries at the level unless you screw up horribly early on, which is only possible if you don't know the level at all. The idea of Valk World 6 is fantastic though, Crazy Viking Studio's plan was to make the Valk Path take about the same amount of time as a full run of the Crystal Path, and they allowed for a Valk Path exclusive level by making Valk World 6 so much shorter (especially the boss fight).
And yeah, having separate paths is a really cool idea, but getting ending C basically means that you completed the tutorial. It's an arcade game, and 1cc-ing it means getting ending A.

Routine will only have real depth if you stop and mash 'x' 100 times every 2 minutes. If the developers get that right we might be onto something.
Just remember the Transformers games are randomly $10 cheaper in Australia. So if it goes on sale again I can help.
No region lock? I may go in on my first game outside the US.

Hm updated Steam just couple minutes ago. Does it not say how long you've played a game anymore? Just last played bit not how many hours too.
Well I want the base price to at least pop down to 40 bucks. That way when it's 75% off it's 10 bucks instead of 15.
Hmm. I might have to send you a message on Steam during the Winter Seal.
There's a region-locked sub for RU retail keys, but that's it. Oddly enough there's only one sub for the Steam store... but it's 1500 rubles on Steam RU, which is just as effective as a region lock because that works out to roughly USD$46.
Edit: A small update on the 38 Studios auction:
I'd guess Monday at the earliest.
Cool! Thanks for the impression, quite interested in using the trackpad since it would mean I won't have to ever reach for my mouse again, I remember some games kind of have poor controller support when navigating menus so it would be nice.

Well, that's what I mean by it being tricky to compare them. It is possible to play the levels in different orders, and your experience is a huge factor in how difficult it is. In reality, either 2 or alt-2 will be the hardest depending on how early you play alt-2. 1 will probably be the third hardest since you play it first. But I think alt-6 is actually more difficult than 1, 3, or 4 in level design, just that by the time you get there you are good enough that it is more of a "showing off what you learned" level.

A bunch of those games are turds but if you want ITSP this is lower than any non-bundle price it's ever going to see (a 75% off sale on just ITSP is 3.75). I liked ITSP but it was a little forgettable.
Quistis is just so fine, bro.
Hm, I agree that it is difficult to compare relative level difficulty for the reasons that you stated, but I mean that -- credit feeding aside -- I think that Valk Path world 6 is easier than Crystal Path world 6 (and intentionally so, as per the spoiler in my last post).

Electronic Super Joy is a like a low end Super Meat Boy with retro graphics, seizure inducing flashing, european trance music, and really really disgusting sexual moaning every time you die or hit a checkpoint. What the hell.

I agree with that too, if not for the checkpoints. Crystal Path world 6 would be more difficult otherwise, so if you are going for a perfect run, then it is harder.
The description and screenshots made me want the game when it released (and I eventually got it from a bundle), but I saw some gameplay and was not impressed.
Sequel announced: Electronic Sex Toy.
So what you're saying is that Thi4f does stealth better because isn't some indie dogshit like Mark of the Ninja.
