Game History
This platformer is quite unique.
Unless you cheat and look up what to do, you will need to do an number of unique things to pass the game.
First, you absolutely need the manual. The manual contains crossword puzzles, one for each level.
If you answer a whole puzzle, which has clues based on things in the game, it gives a clue as to what to do to defeat the final boss.
Second, when you play the game, it gives you in game quizzes that if you get right, give you bonuses.
So, for us translators, it means
- the game has a lot of text for a platformer
- we must translate the manual. Fortunately, we have in html form.
- we will need to be VERY creative to handle translation of the crosswords.
