o_o Oh wow! This is really awesome! It's gotta be one of the funnest games I've played in a looooong time. It's so good!

Oh monkey hair, now I'm hopelessly addicted. I'm losing sleep here! I'm now going to spend every free moment I have an possibly even neglect time that isn't free so I can play this game XD;; Sure is fun.

DON'T download the game "Wet" from that site. It is positively frustrating to death! o.o

ahhh that!

when it opens up, there are 4 circles in there on the corners that you must shoot, once those are down, you must kill the eye when it opens up

It would have taken me a loooooong time to figure out all how to save Curly and get to the Hell level and all (That level is wicked hard o.o; ) Yay for walkthroughs ^^; Even though I usually don't use those, after playing the game three times exactly the same I felt like I should get a little help nudge.

Yes that's very true. It's fun to fly around with the machine gun. I just like how the spur doesn't need to be levelled up, and I love the crowd clearing charge shot. The snake and Nemesis are pretty nifty weapons too, just don't level up that nemesis!

Hey everyone, I am kinda stuck on this game, was wondering if anyone here can give me some hints / tips?


I am stuck at the Waterway area of the game...

--- WARNING: SPOILERS FOLLOW ---
[color="White"]
I have beat the game on the easier setting (i.e. got the second best ending). I am now trying to beat the game on the harder setting (i.e. without getting the machine gun and jetpack). I am stuck at the Waterway area. I have the airtank that Curly gave me and Curly is on my back.

I know where I need to go (the door on the right hand side of the screen). I have gone through the stage and almost reached the door, however because I cannot jump very high (esp. if you are jumping from within the water), I cannot reach the ledge I need to get to the door before the rapid down current below sucks me below. This then triggers the event of Curly's death (which I want to avoid).

Do you know how I can jump and reach the ledge despite not having the machine gun and jetpack (esp. when jumping out of water)?

Thank you.[/color]

It takes many, many tries, my friend.

It's rather annoying, honestly. If you miss the first time, then just reload the game to the previous save.

Downloaded it a while back and it's as awesome as ever. Soon, an improved version is coming to WiiWare with 16 bit graphics. I'm totally getting it ^_^

Do you guys know when it will be released on WiiWare? I thought it got delayed for a while because they haven't gotten everything ready yet:

I am losing patience. :D

UPDATE: I just got past the bit I was stuck at. Now I have the Spur and the Nemesis. The Spur is sweet!
