‘Tis ended! Mecha-Ridley is a rusty bag of nuts and bolts. The expected Predator moment (Get to da Choppa!) happened and I had a short amount of time to leg it. The lack of access to a save point worried me a little, but as it happens I escaped with over a minute left on

Gnaargh! Another boss! Mecha Ridley is a dirty great thing that takes up half of the screen and has a vulnerable spot about zero pixels across which is only vulnerable to missiles and is two high to hit from a standing start. So, you have to hop in the air and hit it with a

Well, after an annoying but mercifully short stealth section, I now have FULL POWAZ! And I spent the first fifteen minutes or so revisiting all the annoying bits that’s driven me nuts for the past forty five minutes and blown the bejeebers out of the Space Pirates there.

Mother Brain Found! Mother Brain ripped my spine out through my arse. Gah. I’m going to have to try a different strategy. Wonder if there’s a way to take out those irritating stingy polo-fruit type things. Or the cannons. Or the lava. The giant pulsating brain I can handle – it’s all the ancillary wierdness
