I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS ANOTHER UNFAULTED TYPE NARRATIVE e x p e r i e n c e IN THE WORLD!!

And yet...

...the ethereal emanations encapsulated within the very essence of this ludic opus evoke an unparalleled resonance—a harmonious convergence that orchestrates an exalted symphony of sensory engagement. The stratified dimensions of its offering are marked by the resplendent trinity of the tridimensional textual manifestations, a resonant testament to the mettle of its artistry; an auditory tapestry woven with such unparalleled mastery that it transcends the auditory realm to caress the very soul; and the serene benediction of a temperate ambiance that graces the enterprise with an aura of equanimity.

Let us not overlook the intricacies—the very tapestry—of the character iconography, evoking visages reminiscent of the illustrious tradition of animated aesthetics. Behold, a metatextual engagement befitting the effulgence of the anime pantheon, a symposium of dialogic provocation poised to incite ponderance. And in the diorama of narrative progression, the pantheon unfolds: cutscenes endowed with cinematic grandeur, a choreography of fluidity attendant to movement controls, the nuanced ballet of fishing rendered accessible through an interface that is nothing short of magisterial.

The mise-en-scène warrants its own commendation, the design of the environment an ode to the very zenith of creative ingenuity. An innovation christened the whirlpool launcher bespeaks the heights of audacity reached, and the core holding effect confers an indelible sophistication to the ludic milieu, transcending mere functionality.

And lo, a lustrous allusion to Nier enshrines itself within the narrative tapestry, underscoring the intellectual gravitas interwoven within the fabric of this experience. The zenith of this treatise emerges—a triumphant crescendo heralding its completeness—embodied within the encapsulation, the very synthesis, of each hallowed attribute.

Yet, even within this sublime choreography of virtues, a note of plaintiveness finds its place. For, as the Sisyphean cycle would have it, the piscatorial mechanism, alas, faltered in its execution. An unforeseen bug, a capricious digital imp, marred the fruition of the angling endeavor—requiring the orison of a reset, rendering the reel impotent in its function. A restart was required.

Thus, the ineffable apotheosis of this veritable opus, brimming with laudable elements, yields to the frailties of the technological medium—a humble reminder of the inescapable contingencies that temper even the most transcendent of ludic forays.

An unequivocal imperative has crystallized—needing to be pursued with unwavering determination and resolute dedication—the meticulous refinement and subsequent ascent of this experiential masterpiece into the pinnacles of video game veneration, those elevated echelons reserved for the most illustrious and renowned titles within the digital realm.

rotate counter clock-wise, ah I see your "counter-intuitive ways". I was able to get 4 cores, but I dropped the last one in the ocean, luckily I was able to trigger the cut-scene by pushing it to the Mech.
it loaded the smoking Mario cut-scene but I think it was supposed to load a different cut-scene.
Also really enjoyed the supreme/gold fishing rod catching anything from a great distance.

its fine as an idea but there's no clear instructions as far as the fishing and objectives go.

The distortion effect is so goddamn cool, the jump feels so goddamn good, the cutscenes are goddamn gorgeous.  goddamn.

Are they ears? Are they hair? Either way that character is cool.

I unironically love the look you went for. The aesthetic is so quintessentially 90s to me.
I didn't have very much time to play but I'll be revisiting to see the content I missed!
