k.o.l.m.
You're a broken robot, fix yourself up to please Mother and do as you're told in the platformer k.o.l.m.
A really nice platformer, but i'm stuck. I have 48% of the items and am in the lower part of the map (just got the jetpack to double jump). How can I get back to the upper part of the map? The upstream in "camera 12" is'nt high enough to get me there. What am I missing?
thx 3rd poster (anonymous) That's what i tried hundreds of times but it doesn't work for me... but after reading you're post I tried it again & again & again 'til it finally works :D
@ puy I finished it with 160 points & 93% of the items. I think it's really hard to see some of the "hidden letters" when the screen is big & zoomed out a lot.
stuck on camera 31. I went too far down in the water~ jet pack isn't powerful enough to let me jump back up under water or get to the ledges with the new doors I wanted to try =( *note: i cheating way to get out without completing the map would be to refresh the window then choose "continue" from menu. It restarts that page with me at the door that I used to come in.*
Yes! I did it with 100%. The letters spell out: IT'S KIND OF LIKE METROID lolwut? There is also this thing in the red zone where you have 3 minutes to escape, that was scary and I made it with 1 second left XD The storyline was creepy.
Remember that if you walk, not jump, into the upstreams, you will be able to jump once more than normal. (If you have double jump, you can triple jump. If you have triple jump, you can jump 4 times.) It also helps to hold the Z button down to maximum jump height. I hope I cleared things up!
I keep forgettng i can jump higher with double speed, got out, I have two letters left to get on the 2nd map but i can't get to them, they are in camera 18 and20
You get the jetpack after beating the robot thing (he's a boss) in the green zone. It's in the room with a lot of white platforms. You encounter more of those guys in the red zone, which give jetpack level 2, gun level 3, and invincibility. XD
For those having a hard time with the jet streams, if you hold jump right after entering the stream you'll fly twice as high. No need for double jumps.
As I said earlier, the letters spell out: IT'S KIND OF LIKE METROID Hence the name. I think it's weird and random. You can check the letters you have by returning to the first room, which you can't see at first, so you don't know about it.
85% and 2390 points (down from over 8000) for taking almost an hour and loosing so many lives. Ah, well... I didn't get all the letters, but I wonder if it spells "life" not "like"?
wonderful, beautiful, wonderful, best...!!!!!!!!!! but the only thing i cant pass is the last where u have to find the ESCAPE part but i forgot... TT_TT dats the only thing i cant finish... the END, seirouslly!! :P

2 Paperback Writer:
ReplyDeletedouble jump while you're in the upstream and you'll reach the second ledge
How do I get the jetpack? Please help as I'm stuck in the lower half and can't get up!

ReplyDeleteI'm stuck with 39% of the items in the second area of the game. I have the slide and double tap for speed but don't know whats next. Any help?
ReplyDeleteI like it, but it's a little long for a platformer, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the jetpack? I'm totally stuck. :(
ReplyDeletethx 3rd poster (anonymous)

ReplyDeleteGreat looking game! The map is so sprawling it makes getting started a little slow. I think the sequel is going to be superb.
ReplyDeleteI'm stck on camera 23, i can't kill the little dude and i can't get to the other door
ReplyDeleteBut where is the jetpack!? A little help, please!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 18.43 - If you go up on those bricks that disappears, double tap left and jump, you can get out.
I keep forgettng i can jump higher with double speed, got out, I have two letters left to get on the 2nd map but i can't get to them, they are in camera 18 and20

ReplyDeletei never got to finish collecting the letters
ReplyDeletei want to find out wat it says if anybody finish and found out tel me plz
very fun platform. starting is slow, but once you got the invincibility, it becomes quite fun.
ReplyDeletethe thing i dislike - the ending. i expected a reward for spending effort, but end up with a static phrase by the mother.
Thank you, Nemur!
ReplyDelete96%. where is the last piece?!
