great game so far, but how do I use the ki spear? the scroll instructs me to press the tool button but pressing C only activates the tools (bombs and slingshot). also how do I comment on the FAQ page? it says I should validate my acount but I dont know how to do that.

THIS GAME IS SO COOL IM SO HAppY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can say without a doubt that this is one of the greatest games I have ever played. It accomplishes an aesthetic that mimics the RPGs and platformers of old, but stands on its own as a unique work, much the way Cave Story did.
The boss battles are challenging and well-made, the graphics are top-notch, and the music is fitting. At first I didn't care for the soundtrack, but as the game goes on and the story unfolds, it gets better and better. And the graphics are simply amazing in the Mul Cave, and I get the sense that both the music and the graphics were arranged to get better and better in step with the story arc, to give that feel of increasing awe and gravitas. This game is a masterpiece, and I am sorry that I rated so many things so highly in the past, if only because it detracts from the full marks I give you now. Congratulations!
best game on newgrounds yet!
Best game on NG. Period. It's not without faults - the combat and controls could be a *tad* tighter, and maybe something to let the player know what is a quest and what isn't - I've just freed the Prince and accidentally blammed through the dialogue (which won't repeat) so not entirely sure what to do next. A little bit of guidance would be appreciated ;) No game IMO is perfect, but this is a benchmark. The gameplay, the exploration, the enormity, the music, the graphics, the presentation and general "feel" of the game, all wrapped up together in one amazing package and I would happily cough up 50-60 bucks for it. Well done guys!
