Must fall to learn how to get back up... A game story

If you don´t fall you never learn how to get back up. If someone always helps back up you never learn confidence and tend to give up quickly in all matters. This is how it is in gaming today. Helping hands everywhere. Walkthroughs, strategy guides, youtube clips, forums, wikis. And if that was´nt enough the games are generally so simple that any frustration you may feel is aimed at the price and lack of longevity or a particularly difficult section that is so out of place you feel stumped. Try Gradius and tell me todays games are generally challenging.

Yes I know i am older an a bit grumpy but it does irritate me that games have to help me the whole way through. Can´t i just be allowed to find things out for my self. Most games have a difficulty setting but this often means more bad guys at a quicker pace. Gradius did that in 1985.

The game we are making has be noted as being extremely difficult. As it stands now this is due to lack of many important game mechanics. But the game will be very challenging and not for the faint of heart. We will give you the tools to complete the game but the journey is yours to make.
