To those who have it, how is Mysterious Song?

[Bernie]

I think I am close to beating it..

I think I am close to beating it.. 

I think I am close to receiving my goodies in the mail. NO I'M NOT JOKING.

It only seems that way.

Well, bernie...Where are you at in the game?

Well, bernie...Where are you at in the game?

I just unlocked "EX Game".

[Arkhan]

I finished the prototype I demoed like 2 years ago.  or was it 3 years ago.

how different is the new one?   Still waiting on mine to arrive with the bonus-jive.

Yeah, you got a -long- way to go. I'm on plane 3 in the EX game. And I don't think I'm that near the end...

(Rover: auto-generating maps? Kinda kills the use of saving and mapping. And how big -is- that crystal tile map, anyway

Mysterious Song's EX Game superdungeon uses the same kind of random algorithm as the original Parasite Eve uses for its EX Game superdungeon... so if you understand how it works there, the exact same thing applies here. And the crystal maze is enormous... by native tile standards, it's a bit larger than 500x500 tiles. There are two different ways to solve it, but I'll leave that up to the players to figure out.

Wow, I beat it but apparently failed to unlock Ex game. Is this possible?

Yes. Unlocking EX Game requires a certain set of conditions... just beating the normal game isn't enough, you have to do it in a specific way.

My favorite part about Mysterious Song is restarting the game and checking out the bonus galleries every time I unlock something new. Normally I don't care too much about this kind of stuff in other games, but it's really fun for a TG16 game!

It may not be as fancy of a homebrew as something like Pier Solar, but it has it's own charms. We're making progress with our indie tools and skillsets all the time in the PCE world .
