"Damn, it's a new mechanic, and the old thief can't run out of things in his head?"

"There are pursuers behind him, and you have to find the key to open the door in the middle of the level, and the sense of oppression is directly full."

"On the intensity, on the intensity, or I'm completely sorry for that help mode."

The design that made players sigh like this made Erxiao in front of the screen more and more scrambling.

That's right, in the thrilling chase with another Madeleine, a trap is introduced in the level that has never been seen before.

Key doors.

There are circular key patterns scattered around some parts of the level, and the door to the exit will only open when all of these keys are triggered.

In the sealed space, you need to find clues to open the door on the one hand, and you need to avoid the pursuers behind you on the other.

This design more or less reminds players of a very famous horror game in the 2D era, the Blue Ghost.

Of course, for the big guys, the green ghost is purely slipped.

It's just a square room, and there are no obstacles that can make the green ghost slip away and can't find the north.

But this time, Er Xiao is obviously in trouble.

The keys are scattered in the four corners of the large space, with a jelly block in the middle,

You'll need to use this thing's special thrust mechanic to reach the four corners and successfully reach the key.

Among them, there are also spikes and the like waiting for you to be yin all the time.

"Brothers, it's not right, I feel like it's too late to go to the four corners and add the key.

As soon as I added this here, another Madeleine caught up from behind and died several times. ”

Because of the overlapping routes, Er Xiao meditated hard after dying several times.

"No, didn't you notice that the other Madeleine was on the exact same path as you?

She pauses where you pause, and she sprints where you sprint. ”

There are still a lot of players who understand it in the live broadcast room.

The so-called chase, another Madeleine, completely replicates all the player's actions, in fact, it is impossible to catch up as long as you keep running.

The only difficulty is how to run in this place full of spikes and not die.

"Damn, that's really the case."

Erxiao tried it, and after finding that it was the case, his mood immediately calmed down a lot.

But just as she was full of confidence and was about to shout "This is over", she touched the spike again and poured cold water on her head.

Aside from the chase battle, the level design of Azure itself is difficult, and it is better to be honest and honest.

When Er Xiao easily passed a few levels.

The other Madeleine was visibly enraged, and she immediately transformed into multiple clones, showing her full strength.

"Teaching is over! The actual battle begins! ”

"You deserve multiple enjoyment."

"Good dish! It's so cool to watch! ”

The main impact of multiple doppelgangers on the game is actually not very big.

After all, no matter how many doppelgangers are separated, they are all following Madeleine in the back.

The main limitation is that Madeleine can no longer run the cross line.

Because running a cross line means that you will definitely collide with the clone that is falling behind.

How to stay in place for a suitable amount of time when the madman behind you is chasing you until the last doppelganger passes is the difficulty of the doppelganger.

And the second chapter of the old site, the biggest challenge, without anyone being prepared, suddenly struck.

The first compound level in the game.

The first is an extra-long jelly block that leads to the left, which leads to the next floor.

A very classic concave spiked pit, with only one imaginary platform in the middle that disappears when you step on it.

Further down, there is a three-stage relay in the air.

Finally, there is the key door, which requires four keys to be triggered.

All the level designs throughout the whole process have actually appeared in the previous mountain climbing journey, and they are all very simple small levels.

What really makes this place difficult is the compound.

Compounding means that there can be no mistakes in the whole process, and you need to pass every small level unscathed.

The previous Xiaoguan is already very obvious, it's not difficult to look at it, but is there still less death in Erxiao?

People are not computer programs, and there will always be mistakes.

The idea was a little erroneous, and the hand happened to not press the button, and there was something wrong with the handle and there was no response......

All emergencies, as long as there is one time in the process of breaking through the level, it means failure.

When it protrudes from the jelly block, it hits the wall, sprints to the upper left and falls upwards into the pit of thorns, and is a little slower to be caught up by the clones behind him, and lets go of the wall and falls......

Dense fancy ways to die.

Then, it's a matter of starting all over again.

The first level is repeated, the second level is repeated, and the third level is repeated.

Even, with a little bit of luck, it succeeded in the end, but it fell short.

Erxiao looked at Madeleine, who was resurrected at the spawn point of this level, and opened her mouth slightly:

"Damn, brothers, I'm kind of playing with Black Souls."

"Don't say it, don't say it, use your life to try and make mistakes, get stronger and stronger, and finally pass the test.

I do feel that way. ”

"The internal logic is to stimulate the player's own psychology of not admitting defeat, in fact, it is not difficult, but we are not skilled enough."

"Once you die, you can always pass the test!"

Try, try, watch yourself get stronger little by little, and finally pass the level.

The core mechanic of the souls class is that it allows players to become stronger through practice, rather than a monotonous stacking difficulty.

For now, Azure is indeed the same design idea.

Or, the whole platforming game, it's all about this design idea.

After so many years of video game development, there is no longer such a solo game developer.

Everyone is standing on the shoulders of countless predecessors, eliminating outdated things, leaving the essence, and by the way, adding a little bit of their own thinking about the industry.

And the entire game industry has also been born with vitality.

With an analogy, the frustration in the heart will naturally be reduced more and more.

When I played "XX" back then, didn't I clear the customs in the end? You can't bother me!

With such a fighting spirit, continue to be proficient and continue to improve.

From the very beginning, I often died at the first level, to the more I died, the further back I died, and then to the success of the later.

The entire live broadcast room is full of "OH~OH~OH~", which is the best award.

"That's it? That's it? I haven't done it yet. ”

Er Xiaotian shamelessly blew all the way to the live broadcast room.

"Mind you, this is only the second chapter of the game."

"How many strawberries on the road just skimmed by, didn't you count? And that's not even counting the hidden parts. ”

"Such a simple compound level makes you complacent? Don't you say that you died a hundred times, don't you kneel down and cry and call your dad when it's a little hard later? ”

Er Xiao cleared his throat and decided to clamp his tail and be a man.

After passing this compound level, another Madeleine also stopped arresting Madeleine.

Traveling through a territory without any mechanisms, an old phone booth eventually appears in the eyes of all players.

The phone rang suddenly, and Madeleine, who was passing by, hesitated for a while, but still picked up the phone:

"Hello?"

On the other end of the phone was a green-haired man holding a mobile phone, his eyes hidden under his bangs:

"Madeleine? Did you call from a public phone? ”

"Yes."

Madeleine was quickly stunned,

"No, wait... You actually called me? ”

Madeleine was quickly stunned,

"No, wait... You actually called me? ”

"What are you talking about?"

"It's okay, I'm in trouble, someone is chasing me."

The man's puzzled tone made Madeleine's heart tighten, but she still trusted the person she hadn't been in touch with for a long time.

Started sharing some bizarre experiences.

"I don't know exactly what is going on, but I know I'm in danger and I can feel it."

The strange man did not comfort Madeleine, nor did he continue with her words:

"Madeleine, you only call me in the middle of the night when you're panicking.

You don't have to make up some stupid stories just to get my attention. ”

As soon as the man spoke, the player's favor was instantly ruined.

"What do you mean by making up some stupid stories? I was just kicked like a dog! ”

Erxiao was indignant,

"This man is stupid."

"Damn, I'm going to take the blue pill and pull this guy out of the phone and punch him twice."

"Madeleine, scold him hard!"

Madeleine apparently can't stand such slander:

"I didn't make it up! You're always like that! ”

"Shhh

The man's sudden gentleness made everyone a little confused.

So what is the relationship between this man and Madeleine? It's puzzling.

I'm getting more and more curious about the plot of the blue.

"I was climbing Mount Celeste and I found this ancient mirror, it shattered, but the other one I ran away and ......

It's like I'm dreaming, isn't it? ”

Madeleine sorted through the memories in her head, trying to be as complete as she could.

But the more she spoke, the paler her heart became, and the things that came out of her mouth were incredible.

"Of course you're dreaming, Madeleine."

The man gave an affirmative answer,

"I haven't spoken to you in months, why should I start talking to you now?"

"Ugh! Why am I here to climb this broken mountain! ”

Madeleine lost her temper.

The purple-haired Madeleine, who suddenly appeared on top of Madeleine's head, sneered:

"I was also puzzled by this question, it was time to give up and go home."

The phone booth was in turmoil for a while, and finally turned into a terrifying monster with many eyes.

It nibbled Madeleine to ashes in one bite!

The scene turns, and Madeleine, who has woken up again at the stone tablet, looks around.

There are no stars falling in the sky, the flames are not eeriely green, and the music is serene and peaceful in the background.

So...... Was what just happened just a dream?

Including another Madeleine, including a phone call with that person?

Madeleine is unknown.

The live broadcast room seemed a little deserted at this time.

Everyone is thinking about what this plot represents.

"I can't think of it too much, so let's continue to push the map."

Er Xiao said, continuing to the right.

The magnificent and mysterious scenery in the dream has disappeared without a trace, and above the head of this old site, I saw an acquaintance.

Madeleine meets Theo, a mysterious explorer in an abandoned city.

"Hey, Madeleine you did it, it's tough to climb here, but it's really worth it.

Looking at these ruins, I took a lot of beautiful photos, do you want to see them? ”

Theo is still so gentle, which makes the player who was just unhappy with a green-haired man feel a lot better.

"Oh, of course."

Madeleine ran to Theo's side with a smile, looked at the photo on his phone, and said with a sigh:

"Theo, these are great."

"Maybe I'll finally be able to gain a thousand followers with these photos."

Theo thought optimistically, then looked at Madeleine,

"Oh, we need to officially commemorate this scene and take a selfie with me!"

"Ah, I don't know if that's a good idea right now."

Madeleine hesitated.

"Come on, it's simple, like this."

Theo picked up his phone and pressed the shutter quickly, and soon, a photo of the two appeared on the screen.

Theo looked optimistic and cheerful, while Madeleine looked a little timid.

Madeleine makes Theo feel sorry for her stinky face and says she won't put it on her social media.

Madeleine shook her head, indicating that she just felt a little unphotogenic.

Theo comforted her and said:

"Madeleine, don't be so yourself, no one looks good without a filter."

The two talked about the world and their ideals.

Madeleine still wants to climb the mountain, and Theo says that although she has no plans to do so, she has no plans to return yet.

Eventually, Madeleine, who had said goodbye to Theo once more, continued on her way, and once again came across the phone booth she had seen in her dream.

But this time, Madeleine took the initiative to pick up the phone and dialed it.

Just when the players thought they were going to see a certain green-haired face.

What appeared on the screen at this moment was a middle-aged woman with blue hair and a flush on her face that was the same as that of Madeleine.

"Hello."

"Hi, Mom."

"Madeleine! What a surprise! How's your trip going? ”

Mom curled the corners of her mouth and looked very happy.

"It's okay, I'm just a little overwhelmed."

Madeleine said frankly.

"Oh no, you're scared again?

Honey come and take a deep breath, mom is here.

Tell me what's going on? ”

The chapter ends with a CG of Madeleine answering the phone.

But the players are clearly haunted by the fact that they were "scared again".

Earlier in the dream, the man also said that Madeleine would only call him in the middle of the night when he was panicking.

What happened to Madeleine?

The game came to the chapter selection interface again, looking at the more than 300 deaths, Er Xiao's heart did not fluctuate, and he even wanted to laugh a little.

The second chapter is obviously much more difficult than the first, and it only has more than a hundred more deaths, which is gratifying.

However, when she saw the strawberry, her face fell.

Eighteen strawberries. She took 3 of them, and it was hard to top......

Thank you for the support of the North Sea Mega Man 1412, the guardian of the abyss, the diamond rift, and the blue sea I travel alone!

Thank you~
