Gaming Hakoboi! / ハコボーイ！(New JP eshop game)

[Slushie3DS]

This game looks quirky but fun to play. Definitely want to install this when I get my Gateway.

 

[hippy dave]

It's amazingly fun, I've been trying to pace myself but I'm most of the way through it now.

 

[Jiehfeng]

Like in the trailer lol. I have an affection for Japan, meaning I'm a weeaboo I guess.

 

[hippy dave]

The trailer just has a commentary/voiceover, it's not in the actual game. Don't worry, the game has great music and nice sounds.

Cool, though it really could use some of that japanese voice acting.

Fukkn stuck, gah.

i finished the game a few days ago (i beat world 17) - but there are more after which i did not play yet.
the old man costume made the end a little easier, but it was not very hard for me -- although there are just a few, maybe 4, crowns in stages that i could not get!
the time trial mode is very tricky, although the ninja costume helps of course, but even so the first few i played were hard.
i have not tried score attack yet.

 

[hippy dave]

Yeah I got all the crowns in the main 17 worlds, didn't get stuck until 18-5. Have cleared 20 worlds now, couple more new ones to go, and have done more than half the score/time attacks.

So yeah I've been a bit addicted

 

[cearp]

i'll find exactly what crowns i couldn't get, and ask you then!

 

[piratesephiroth]

I got everything on the main game on wednesday, got the King's crown and mantle.

Only those trial things are left now.


but how can you get REALLY stuck? You can buy hints with play coins if you're really desperate.

the hints get you to pass the level, but do not help you get the crown, right?

They help you get the crown too, because they show you a solution with very few boxes.

 

[hippy dave]

I don't use hints on principle.

 

[piratesephiroth]

I don't use hints on principle.

I used on a few stages, especially after chapter 20. Some challenges bring very unusual situations, not really demonstrated on the previous stages.

 

[hippy dave]

Yeah, after breezing through a lot of the main game, it's nice to face some new challenges

So I noticed that one of the late game unlockable outfits (the second to last one) actually makes you move faster. Does anyone know if any of the other outfits have properties that I wasn't noticing before?

the ninja makes you move faster, the old man one gives you an extra block to use, the rabbit lets you jump one block higher. i guess you can't read any japanese?

Can't read a lick of it. That's why I haven't bought any of the scrolls. I assumed they were hints and I didn't want none of that.

Good to know that those costumes give you advantages, I'll be playing through as cool guy with shades still then! I'm on world 19 now, it's still stellar.

 

[Alo81]

And I've 100%'d it.

Can anyone read Japanese and know what this says?
