Trisolis's Comments

The controls were hard to get used to (and still honestly makes this kind of a bad game) but once you're comfortable with that the imp is in sight. It took 8 hours but I'd recommend doing 1-4 and 1A deathless, and then one of 5 or 6 depending on what you're comfortable with. Trophies aren't bad, 1-10 has it in the coin counter in the top right and 3-10 is on the side, and medals will come naturally (though I prioritized switches before doing time medals in earlier stages). Also 10A will kick your ass but it's mostly just throwing yourself at death until you win. GL to anyone who tries this beast.

Reposting a comment from elbarf for anyone who might be playing and wants the hard badge without dealing with all the grind and jankiness of the second half of the game after you learn to swim: "Glitch to beat the game faster: At the top of pirate island (left of the crab beach on the way to windy city), in the screen with the 2 green/yellow crabs, if you switch screens from left to right while holding up (a.k.a. w), you will pass through the rock barrier in the water. If you swim to the second tile from the very upper left screen in the game, (1,2 on the map) you will get to a room with 2 computer screens. The computer on the right saves you in Pandora’s cave (next to it is the final quest giver, talk to him), and the sealed off room to the left with the guy wearing purple is the final NPC in the game (you can just walk right in as long as you're on the left side of the sea screen). If you get to a completely white screen, you have gone 2 screens too far to the left."
