Lamul2

----COMPLAINTS----
Why dont totem pole gates quicksave/allow saving in general wtf
Why isnt the dash item an active???????????? Cool i can toggle some items, but WHY THIS ONE
Why is the warp animation 5x as long as it used to be
	(not the load screen, just the animation. Might be masked loading but i figure if that was the case it'd just stay until it was done loading, not both)
2 isnt 5 upside down and im real pissed about it...
Vomit enemies on the screens of old areas haha love making movement in a backtrack oriented game even more tedious
	Think this also stole a sense of progress in terms of being able to kinda cruse through old areas after becoming a lot stronger
	Some parts (like the soldier dudes showing up) added to the sense of them trying to take over the place though, which was neat i guess
Spiral hell's just weird. Vomit awful minibosses one after another that dont do anything for you and you just walk past
The hint that points you to how to finish the activation of the Brahma puzzle is worded poorly imo, and that blocks a good portion of
    info. albeit, optional info. its also the missing link to the infernal fiend puzzle
Like half the minibosses and bosses in the game just suck to fight, they arent interesting and just toss their hitbox around like a
     tennis ball. It's remarkably unfun
I didnt play before the feather d-boost got patched out
Shield feels inconsistent. There were many times I would get hit by something that just barely poked over my shield and then wouldnt
    from something that came from behind and above me. I know crouching made it cover more, but it just felt off a lot.

----GENERAL----
Theres a lot more design to just be frustrating (lookin at them trap doors, insta kill pillars).
	Wouldnt say this as a complaint, just something i noticed.
The enemy -> spikes combo is insane
Iframes feel (are?) way shorter
Pictures on tablets are 10000000x more important in this game and I did not adapt. Lamul 1 I half
	paid attention to them and they reall werent required for much if anything, this game they are
	massive hints/sometimes the ONLY hint.
Vajra O W N S and also fixes the problem of weapons feeling like they dont swing consistently
	(that one was probably just me, but didnt really feel it in lamul 1)
Mantras as a puzzle mechanic are... meh? Not the worst thing but its kinda boring reading
	"X random character said  A B C in the Y room" in 10 different ways about 10 different rooms
	this being said, it at least adds some repeatable puzzle that isnt glaringly copy pasted i guess
Game is insanely generous with subweapon ammo, iv been capped out on almost everything all the time
I really enjoyed the more world building (I guess??) approach to the area designs + npcs.
	Most of the puzzles felt like they interacted with the world, and npcs bringing the stories of the different children to life was
    great
New fairies were cool. Weapon fairy actually felt decent but still loses out to healing fairy for bosses i think. Treasure fairy nerf
    was probably called for (i miss my chakrams). Key fairy was cool in this one
	BUT it should have not gone away after finding a single thing i think. There were a few times where itd show me a fake wall when i
    was trying to bring it to somewhere i thought it would unlock a chest and it went away from marking the wall instead.
Crouch wiggle panic dance saved my soul, i think
The coolest thing i will ever do in videogames happened. Cross my ASS, feather:

HINTS
I knew about the "there is nothing here" tablet solution before starting the game

Mr_Weables: This is Heaven's Labyrinth. The wake of the infernal fiend that lusts for the Mother's power.
Mr_Weables: Incant at the colossal dragon's neck: "Heaven and earth, grind fire. And wind, flow into the sea". Those words will lead you to the infernal fiend's jaw.
Mr_Weables: Where is this?
Mr_Weables: ok, you guessed that the "infernal fiends jaw" was the lower left of heaven's lab
Mr_Weables: that's correct
Mr_Weables: take another look at the warp tablet
Mr_Weables: okay, so what do you think the "dragon's neck" is
Mr_Weables: you're at the infernal fiends jaw. you are not at the dragon's neck.

stock strength in your body before unleashing it

Bramuh puzzle is solvable

Room in prison you have not visted yet

Third map software in the combo


Mr_Weables: the brahma device isn't fully activated yet. you have to turn on more shit elsewhere. start with this tablet set:
Mr_Weables: Brahma created the world. He sealed the light of creation's origin in a golden egg. All was created from the colors of the light emanating from the egg. The light the creator designed to speak of will be unleashed.
Mr_Weables: Brahma asked Chaos, "What is creation?" Chaos responded only by existing.
Mr_Weables: Water flows from the eye of Chaos. It watches the conflict between angel and demon and weeps at the disparity in power.

----NOTES----
Shut the fuck up about the three eyed waterfall

When all is said and done, I think lamul 1 was the better overall experience IMO. This game assumes you have played lamul 1 and because
    of that just does a lot more dumb shit thats just tedious i think.
	It also is a lot more linear so theres a ton more bottlenecks (considering bosses actually have to die to progress, which means
    solving just about every puzzle in areas before moving on).
I did enjoy my playthrough of both games enough, just REALLY hated the massive increase in enemies per screen and the abundance of miserable mini/bosses
