Subject: Promised Land effects in We Pretty

I got some good Promised Land effects into We Pretty

as well! :-)

'the boiler room' springs to mind - you fall through it but none of the ledges catch you, so you can't play the room at that stage and must take the bottom exit. (very lifelike freddy kreuger sprite

though :)

Well recognised! :-)

You're
supposed to jump down the ledges in
"THENEARLYINGONESERRED" (à la "i wanna see you get down" in willy to the
rescue), so I don't consider it a Promised Land as
such.

The Promised Land effects in We Pretty that spring to
mind are:
- the items on the left side of
"THENEARLYINGONESERRED" (which you only get to collect in the other
`half' of the game);
- The Promised Land view of "DIA
MOND B O Z Y" at the start of the game;
- The
different ledges in "J AN GLING F O R K S";
- The high
ledge in "T HEM IND WAR PP AVI L ION" for escaping from
that whole cluster of rooms below "SKYLIFE A V I A T I
O N AVATAR";
- The Promised Land view of "EM ERG
ENCY SB A C K Y A R D" from "S U B M ARI N ER S" (even
though you will have passed through the former room
first :-) );
- The two parts of "THESA FET YZ ON E"
(whichever you reach first);
- To the right of "S A T AN
S S H ED" (which was originally Forbidden Holy
Ground);
- The roof of "PLAY HOUSE";
- The items at the
top-left of "S O W I NG T EARS T O H A N G" and the main
part of the screen (mutually Promised Lands, depending
on which you reach first);
- The two parts of
"INTHECHILLYSEETHEGUILDEDRISSOLES", "LOO KING F O R PEP PER CO R N S" and "T H E OR C
HID Z ON E";
- The Promised Land walk from "LOO
KING F O R PEP PER CO R N S" to "THE MUSE UM OF MOD
ERN P ART S" to "TH E CAR ROT OF REF LEC T I O N" to
"GIACCHASSE" to get the elusive items in "S U B M ARI N ER
S".

incidentally, i still haven't crossed to the left of 'diamond bozy'. can anyone else do

it?

it seems impossible... i could put a poke on but that is the last resort :)

I assume you're
having trouble jumping over the white horizontal
guardian. I admit that I should have left it a pixel lower
than it is (I moved it up a pixel as a last-minute
change) - it's too difficult for fun as it stands! :-)
That's the little thing I wish I'd done differently in
We Pretty (the bigger thing I wish I'd done
differently is that We Pretty should have tended to spread to
a greater extent).
