- Archer Maclean's Mercury (PSP, 2005)
- ------------------------------------
- Setup: Unzip the archive and open PPSSPPWindows64.exe (if you're on 64-bit Windows) or PPSSPPWindows.exe. Do File > Load... and select "Archer Maclean's Mercury (U).iso". PPSSPP should automatically be configured for Xbox controllers but if you want to change controls or check stuff then go to Game setting > Control mapping... and set the necessary controls. Get yourself to the world select screen (you should have Tutorial selected) and .ready up.
- Goal: Beat tutorial and Quartz (.done when the score pops up after Quartz Boss)
- Controls
- --------
- Analog: Move
- Face buttons (X, O, Square, Triangle): Rotate camera 90 degrees
- D-pad up/down: Change camera mode (either have the camera centered between all blobs or centered on a specific blob)
- D-pad left/right: Change which blob the camera is locked to when in that camera mode
- L/R: Zoom in/out
- The game has 3 main types of levels:
- -Race: Reach the ending in a specific amount of time (indicated at the top left of the screen)
- -Percentage: Reach the ending with a specific amount of mercury remaining (indicated by the meter on the left of the screen)
- -Task: Light a certain number of beacons (indicated at the bottom left)
- There are 3 of each of these types in each of the two worlds. After that, the next two levels are combo levels. The first is a race/percentage level and the second is a percentage/task level. Finally, the 12th and final level in each world is a Boss type level, which combines all 3.
- -You can select Race 1 in each world and continually hit "Next Level" after each to avoid the level select screen
- -One of the first tutorial levels will teach you the color mixing mechanics, but the gist of it is that there are 3 primary colors: Red, Green, and Blue. You can combine two of them to form different colors (Red + Blue = Purple, Red + Green = Yellow, Blue + Green = Light Blue) or all 3 to get white.
- -Pay attention to the mechanics in the tutorial
- -The boss level of Quartz introduces an antigravity mechanic, note that the controls are reversed when you're on the ceiling
- Good luck and have fun! :D
